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.

Better of the two courses we played

Fairways in much better shape than Pine Lakes which we played the day before. Not to difficult but challenging enough with traps and water in the right places.

Awesome course

Forgiving well maintained fairways and greens. Much better condition than sister course Pine Lakes. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Carts were in good shape and zippy. Never concerned about players in front or behind us. Very casual fun round.

Love Jekyll Island Courses

We always love playing Jekyll Island courses. Staff is friendly, equipment is always clean and in great condition, and the course is both well manicured and challenging. Well worth the money.

Great Layout but Poor Condition

We got a great deal through Golf Now but was

Disappointed in the course condition. Lots of crab Grass and some bare spots.

But the thing that I found utterly amazing was there was NOT a single ball washer or trash can on any hole. One of the grounds crew drove by and I asked him about it and he told me no one had took the time to set them out after Covid!

I will however praise the course layout, as it has the widest fairways I have ever encountered on any golf course in my life!!

I would like to see this course be in better condition as it has so Much Potential!!

Comfortable conditions, but very straight, not very interesting

Indian mound is a fairly straight forward playing course. Greens were extremely slow, and course conditions were typical for the summer weather. We felt that the employees were welcoming and professional. Overall, an average course, not challenging, and very straight

Greens matter

Cup edges are scraggly and clearly haven’t been moved in over a week. They apparently get water if & when it rains and that’s it. Give us better conditions with greenkeeping staff and we’ll fill the tee sheets and pay more for that value. No real effort seems to be made.

Nice recreation area course

This was my first time playing this course. Opted to play 9 holes due to limited time. The pro shop is well equip. The people are pleasant and helpful. Check-in straightforward. Queued up at the first tee and found a 5-some group in front of us. The starter told them to break into 3 and 2. Later on they returned to being a 5-some. However, they did let us play through. Primarily visitors and tourists at this course who are visiting the island. The course condition and layout is good. The greens were in good condition. I enjoyed playing the course that I'd like to return some time to play a full round. We had a good round and overall experience.

Seen better days

I’ve played all three 18 hole courses at Jekyll Island over the last forty years multiple times. This complex of public courses used to be a bargain but my return to play Indian Mounds this year was a disappointment to say the least. The corse layout is interesting enough but the course conditions were unacceptable. Mid June should be the time of year when the course is in top shape but instead we found bare patches on tees & fairways & the putting greens were like

Corduroy. I didn’t ask staff if the greens had recently been aerated or had other work done on them but in any case the greens were close to being unputtable. The worst lack of maintenance however were the conditions of the bunkers. Now to be fair, they had a significant amount of rain over the previous days but the compacted sand conditions that we encountered were not due to that, they were mostly like concrete. After being in a couple traps, I even stopped trying to rake out my footsteps since they left almost no indentions in the compacted sand to begin with & to get the tines of the rake to penetrate into the sand was more work than it was worth. All of the bunkers need a deep rototlling for a start to recover them, totally unacceptable. I won’t be back until management gets their act together.
