About

Length 6469 yards

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.

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

Good value

It was a beautiful day and we were pleasantly surprised by a steady pace. The fairways and greens were in good condition. Overall we had a great round for the money. Will play there again.

Good test for your game

Jekyll has some great courses and Indian Mound is one I do enjoy playing. Winter conditions on the greens made them play fast and have lots of roll past the hole if you found yourself on the wrong side. While I was disappointed I could not play Pine Lakes due to the on going renovations, I was please to get out on Indian Mound. Just about every green slopes from back to front and I found myself having a difficult time getting to be in the right spot for putting. If you find your self at Jekyll, be sure to check out Indian Mpund and you might find yourself having a challenging time on the greens but enjoying yourself.
