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.

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

Golf shop employees, not very friendly. Starter, great attitude and friendly. Course was nice to play(Pine Lakes). The pace of play was good. Employees in the grill not wearing masks, but guests were asked to, but not while eating. Overall the course was fun to play.
