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.

Pine lakes course
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!!!
Disappointed
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.
Nice course
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.
Green Conditions
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.
Amazing Course
We are visiting down here from MI for the month of February and we love this course! I would recommend golfing here any chance you can. Thank you to golf now and golf pass we redeemed extra savings🙂you won’t be disappointed
Variety!
As someone who used to play the USKG event, it's great to see Pine Lakes still hosting tournaments and in good condition! The variety from one hole to the next is refreshing for coastal golf. Greens coming together nicely. Good job Jekyll!
Good
Course was in good shape. It was slow going. It took 3 hours to play 9 holes.
Awesome golf course
You've got a chance to play every club in your bag
.I truly enjoyed playing this course. A golf course that was on my bucket list. If you get a chance play
Pine Lakes
Great value. Course on very good shape
Bunkers are consistent with quality sand. Green are fast and true..Layout has variety with left and right sockets and reachable 5 fives if you hit a quality tee shot.s.
Winter golf
Great course. Winter conditions a bit tough. Fairways are cut really short in winter. Greens smoking fast but in good shape. Long par 4’s but doable and alot of fun.
Good vakue
Course is pretty wide open but lots of bunkers protecting greens and strategically placed in fairways. Conditions were very good and staff was friendly. Decent value for the money and would come back next time we’re in the area.
