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.

The course was in great condition. While it was somewhat challenging it was also very playable for amateurs.

Island Pine

We ended up playing the Pines course and mistakenly ended up on the Mounds course before getting back to the Pines and it was in much better shape than the Indian Mound course but the layout is nice, the staff was great and the gps on the carts was great too. Would play it again.

Pine Lakes

The course was very crowded. I had to join the two some in front of me. They were very nice. At the end of eight holes, it started raining so I didn’t get to finish. The club gave me a rain check for nine holes which was very nice.

This course is very private.

The golf course was in very good shape. Greens were alittle soft. Fairways and tee boxes in great condition. Sand traps consistent. I wish greens would have been firmer.

Very impressed

First tee time of the day, finished in 2:50. Course is cut through dense, jungle-y forest. Very tight with some holes, hit many irons off tee to keep in play. A few greens had damage along their collars. Overall a very enjoyable track, with interesting holes. Rarely is there a breeze, so can get very hot and humid.

1st time out

Played Pine Lakes in June. The greens had been aerated and sanded. Greens were soft and easy to stick an approach. Fairways and tee boxes were perfect. The staff was great! Supper friendly and helpful! I took my daughter (15). It was only her 4 time on a course. We played mid day and due to the heat it was not crowded. We had a great time! The staff really made us feel welcome!

Overall a quality day

Course was in solid shape. Never really get much from the staff there, but knowing the course and where to go I guess it doesn’t really matter. Pine lakes is definitely the favorite for me at out of the three courses they have to offer. Not much you could complain about with the course. Fairways were solid and greens for the most part were top notch, ball rolling very well, except 1 or 2 that could use a little work but definitely will play again
