Jekyll Island Golf Club - Pine Lakes Course
About
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.

Improved since a 2024 renovation
Pine Lakes is looking great after a multi-million-dollar renovation by Clyde Johnston completed last year. It was in great condition and the course continues to be a wonderful golf bargain in a sublime natural setting. Golfers will see all sorts of gators, birds, deer and other wildlife. The routing is a bit straight forward with few risk-reward moments. It's just solid golf, nothing too fancy about it. The back nine does toss in a few doglegs to make things more interesting. Two different ponds come into play on the left of the par-4 ninth and the right side of the brutal par-4 18th to keep players honest.
Wildlife Everywhere
Pine Lakes Course was in great condition. The greens and fairways were well maintained and looked like artificial turf. We saw wildlife on every hole, There were deer everywhere, birds of all types, raccoons, gators, we saw an Osprey fishing in one of the ponds. It was a very enjoyable experience.
Good and Fair Value
Paid $75 to play Pine Lakes…good layout (not great). Greens rolled about 9, but in very good shape. Played as a twosome in 3 hours (awesome time of year - August 14). Average driving range.
Will be returning for the other two courses
Pine lakes was a very nice golf course. Lies were excellent and there are some challenging holes with water and shape. Greens were in great shape without crazy amounts of break and speed. A great course to play on and score low if you are a seasoned player. Immediately raved to family about the place. Two other tracks were under renovation, but from what I could see I will be returning to play. If playing in august bring plenty of water.
Rude and Overpriced
The staff was rude and the course was nowhere near the $100+ and the hour and a half drive that went into playing it. Would not recommend to anybody.
Nostalgic
Hadn’t played here since before the Pandemic & it brought back memories. It was in great shape and the greens were nearly perfect!
Coming along
First time playing since the refurbishment. It's coming along nicely. Fairways were in great condition and tee boxes looked amazing. Greens were firm and the grass on the collars were dry and thin. Probably just needs time and water. As long as they keep it up and maintain it, this is a great course. I got a hot deal for around $60 and used some coupons to make it cheaper which made it a great deal for the area. The rack rate of $90+ is probably not worth it.

Course is in fantastic condition following renovation
Too SLOW
I was a single player with a T-time. I joined the twosome behind me on hole number three. We later teamed up with one player in a group of three in front of me. The other two players in that group were so frustrated with the pace of play and they quit after nine holes. Even after calling the clubhouse and a marshal coming out, it was no help. We had a total of 4 players combined from three different t-time groups and it took 5 hours and 20 minutes to play 17 holes. A storm came and we didn’t get to play number 18. That is insane. Managing the pace of play and putting too many golfers on the course is irresponsible and inconsiderate. I won’t go back.

The course is in excellent condition. With the Golf Now discount, it is an excellent value.
