About

Length 6469 yards
Slope 129
Rating 71.1

Jekyll Island Golf Club is Georgia's largest public golf facility, offering three 18-hole courses and a nine-hole course. Two of the 18-hole courses, Pine Lakes and Indian Mound, have similar characteristics since they sit side by side. Both are younger than the Oleander, which is considered the toughest of the three and served as host to the Georgia Open for four years. The Indian Mound Course is the shortest of the three at just under 6,500 yards from the back tees but that is not to say you won't run into a fair amount of challenges. The layout features lengthy par 5s that you wouldn't expect given the yardage, and the par 4s offer scoring opportunities for those who take advantage of the short shots into the green. The Indian Mound Course's main challenges are the undulating greens and abundance of sand.

Our home course away from home

We played this course two consecutive days with similar conditions each day. Truly enjoyable and the second day, the wildlife were abundant throughout the 18 holes. The one thing that didn’t change from day to day (besides my scores) was the slow pace of play even though we doubled up with a couple with a tee time behind us to cut down their waiting. Each day, the foursomes ahead of us were slow to move off the greens.

All of the courses at Jekyll Island are under reconfiguration and I expect will be much better in the future.

Great course for the money

Friendly staff, great pace- felt like I had the whole place to myself. Lots of construction on adjacent course but not distracting. Would definitely play again. Only saw 1 gator.

Solid track

Great time here. Construction on the new course, Pine lake I think, was the only bummer. Took some of the scenery away. Other than that it was great time and everyone not only staff were super nice.

Staring times to fast in a row

The course is very nice and is in a good condition.

The staff is very nice! After the game there is a wonderful restaurant!

But the problem is that the saying times are every eight minutes which is way to fast, 10 would be better. We had to wait at very hole for an average of 4-7 Minutes! You don’t get in to playing and cool down every hole and that’s very bad!

OK course

Wasn't in the greatest shape or as nice looking as 2 other courses we played on St. Simons. Definitely saw the most wildlife here, as opposed to the other 2, including a number of alligators, deer & numerous bird species. I'd go back, but it could use some TLC.

Cool windy day

Area had heavy rains making the courses a little wet and challenging. Course was still a little challenging and fun at the same time.
