Length 6700 yards

Rating 71.8

Jekyll Island Golf Club offers 64 holes of golf, making it the largest public golf facility in Georgia. The courses are a favorite amongst locals and visitors since it's hard to beat the affordable rates. The club features three 18-hole courses and one nine-hole course. Pine Lakes is the longest of the three full-length courses at 6,700 yards from the back tees, though the course is not lengthy by any means. The final hole is the only one on the course with considerable length. The original layout was created in 1968 and underwent a major renovation in 2002. It is similar to the Indian Mound Course, which sits adjacent to it, but Pine Lakes has a more modern bunkering system. Fairway bunkers come into play for long hitters and the bunkers that frame the greens demand accurate approach shots.

Excellent condition

Pine Lakes was in excellent shape from tee to green. Staff was courteous and polite. Pace was a lil' slow but that was to be expected but didn't take away from beautiful course and scenery. Would definitely play again.

Great Course but very slow play

I traveled down from Cleveland to see my son and play some golf. We decided to play Pine Lakes because we’ve played it in the past. Course was great but pace of play was EXTREMELY slow. We’ve had this issue before but thought it may have improved and it definitely didn’t help Indian Mound was closed until October. I would more than likely play it again but expect a 5 hour round at the minimum.

Fun day

Course was in great shape. Hey so play was really good we had a twosome and got paired with two others. It's hot and humid which is to be expected for the area. Plenty of wildlife including deer on nearly every hole Bring some bug spray for the gnats.

Pine Lakes

The course was in excellent condition given the rains we had over the previous 3 days. The fairways were firm and there were no holes that were designated cart path only. Perfect weather and paired with a great twosome making the experience memorable. One of the best values in the southeast Georgia region.

Enjoyed this course

This was our first time playing this course. Enjoyed the layout, course both fairways and greens in very good condition. We did find ourselves always waiting for the group ahead and the group behind us was always at our tail.

So other than the waiting this course was well worth playing and I'd recommend it to others.

Great greens

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.

Exceptional course

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.
