Jekyll Island Golf Club - Pine Lakes Course

The greens were smooth and fast. Loved them. Some tee boxes and fairways had just a few rough spots but the course is in great shape. Many different holes require different types of shots. Lots of fun.

Overall, everything about this course was just superb from start to finish. Most places in SE Georgia are fighting off crab grass and just dead grass in general. These fairways were so clean and cut just perfect height. Greens were so cared for and had some character to them. Not an overall hard course but definitely beautiful for sure. Highly recommend even if paying full price. I paid for a hot time on GolfNow and that made it an even better experience.

Course was in good condition ! Picture perfect day, looking forward to my next round of play at Pine Lakes !

Place wasvery busy....paired up on tee box with another guest....worked out well....course was in very good condition.....tee boxesin great shape, greens were slick as a pool table, but ran true. Overall, a great day ......will return.

I was anxious to play the recently renovated Pine Lake on Jekyll Island and sadly disappointed. I understand it was late March but the course showed the appearances of wear and tear that I didn’t expect to see on a course stating to be recently fully renovated. It really didn’t seem in any better shape than the Oleander course I played last year and thought it was pretty worn down. Certainly not worth the higher rack prices listed. I hope to play Great Dunes soon and hopefully not disappointed as well.

Getting a cart was a little bit of an issue and pace of play was a little slow. But, the tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in very good shape except for a few spots here and there. Great layout and beautiful course. Will be back for sure!!!

So I played twice, Friday afternoon, and then again Saturday.

My work trip allowed me to get the rounds in at the end of the trip. So booked Friday at 3:12 pm because I had to work most of the day. When I got there, it was total chaos. They had no carts available. And when they finally did ? There was a six some playing I from of myself and the count couple I was paired with. It took 3 hours and 20 mins to play the front nine. Despite signs saying “ no five somes, “ apparently a six some is ok even after the ranger came out. In any case, I figured maybe it was just an off day. So I gave them a second shot and booked for 2 pm on Saturday. Again no carts. So badly managed that it was an hour behind to get out on the course. When I asked about it ? Employees were very snippy about it. As far as conditions ? Pine lakes was not bad. Not great but not bad. And though I was supposed to play pine lakes again on Saturday ? As very nice couple who had the two some they were supposed to be paired with, cancel, they said I could play with them.

They had booked on Indian mound. I’ll give credit to the course for not saying a word, about the different course and this allowed me to go with them pretty much around my tee time instead of far later with the back up for carts. But the course ? Was absolutely horrible. While I understand it’s being “ redone ?” Neither course was worth the $80-100 they charged. And ? My rate was supposed to include range balls. Well the range was closed and no refund or compensation for that, not even an apology. The attitude was ? If you dont like it ? You can leave.

I’ve played literally all over the world, on all kinds of courses. And I can say with all honesty, that this is a place I’ll never go back to.

Good layout. Greens were very good - rolled smooth and were moderately fast. Tees and fairways were in typical off season condition. Only hiccup was a high school tournament on the entire course that went longer than allotted and so we had to wait an extra 1/2 hour to tee off. Playing behind the girls was a 3 hour nine hole round but with no one in front of us on the back we played it in 1 hr 15 minutes.

I played Pine Lake, and found the front 9 in good shape. The back 9 had several greens that had spots, but did not affect play.
