Jekyll Island Golf Club - Pine Lakes Course

The greens are being infiltrated with some wee or some grass that needs to be addressed by the grounds crew.

The overall course conditions were good but some greens have been infiltrated with some sort of weed or grass that needs to be irradiated.

Pace of play was abysmal on the front, but my partner and I were able to play through 2 groups at the turn and buzz through the back. Ranger would have been helpful. Greens were ok, consistent and relatively smooth. Nobody fixes ball marks. Plenty of sand in the bunkers, and I was paired with a great guy; made a new friend.

We were early for our tee time and were at the starters shack about 7 or 8 minutes ahead of our tee time. Starter was a unhappy person who barely spoke Stike one. He informed us we were behind the group over there and pointed. There was a group of 7 waiting ahead of us, a group of four on the tee and another threesome on the fairway. I guess we all had the same tee time, Strike two. The group ahead of us hit multiple balls, multiple times searched for their gold encrusted balls for hours, no marshalls in site. We finished our round in 5 hours 45 minutes Strike three. Never coming back.

I’m no grounds keeper but the fairways were very wet and not much turf.
I understand keeping the course watered under extreme heat but it was in the 70’s this week.
With the threat of rain all week.
Almost like they’ve been over played.
The greens were in great shape!
I always enjoy playing on Jekyll Island, it’s beautiful.

This course is very peaceful even with people behind you the way it’s laid out you do not feel rushed.

Booked round at Pine Lakes, but was switched to Indian Mound because a group of 32 went off just before me. Pine Lakes reviews were better than the other 2, but because of pace of play, I got moved. Played through another single who was walking. Only 2.5 hrs to play. Excellent new carts. Greens were very slow and most all had some crab grass in them. Plenty of well placed sand traps and had sufficient sand. Unraked due to rains from 2 days before. Cart path only. Full service restaurant open until 9pm. Pro shop well stocked.

Due to rain the soil of course was saturated with water. This made it hard tot play but the sun made it very comfortable after all . Due to a group of five in front of us (this should be prohibited) made it a very long play just till dawn.

Enjoyed the round. Fairways were excellent as well as the greens. Very true roll. Tees were mostly good. Will play again.
