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.

Decent Value
The course itself was in pretty good condition, but the greens had just been aerated. We rented clubs and they were in great shape. We played first thing in the morning, and the course was still wet. We asked the starter if our rental included a towel. He simply stated "No" and went back into his guard shack. Not the most outgoing character I have ever met. So, we played with muddy balls and clubs for the round.
Great Day
It was just a fun day for some friends that have not seen each other for a year. One of the best rounds of golf I have played in a long time.
Great experience!
We come here once a year and always play here. The coarse is well designed with sand traps strategically placed amongst the fairways and around the greens. Coarse is a must play for any golfer no matter the experience level. Staff is amazing as well!
Jekyll Island (Pine Lakes), Georgia
The course was in very bad condition. You could not putt the greens due to bare spots and black fungus on most of the greens. I would inquire about the conditions of the greens before I played this golf course. Very disappointing!!!
My lucky day
Had to wait on the driving range for four deer to cross. Ran into deer at close range on several holes. Eagle circled me close overhead on No. 12. Have seen gators, tortoises, snakes and other critters previously. I played Indian Mound course alone on Memorial Day when I thought it would be packed. Foursome graciously let me pass on No. 2 and I had it to myself afterward. Played in less than three hours, in perfect weather and for $18. Doesn't get much better, even though I didn't play my best golf. Course will get your attention, without frustrating you. Play it.
Excellent course!
All three course at Jekyll islands are excellent I love playing there.
The course I always play at this historic getaway location
There are three 18 hole courses at this location, and all are in good shape with different challenges.
Pinelakes
Nice course and a great day to play. The course is very Picturesque with a lot of abundant wildlife especially deer and alligators.
Mishit drives are a significant problems as the growth outside the rough is impossible.
Great conditions; Enjoyable round
Shop Assistant suggested that Pine Lakes was in the best condition of the three courses. It set a high bar! Fairways and greens were very nice, coming out of the winter months. Tees and bunkers were good. We were out early, so pace was fine. (Could have used a little bug spray for early hour.) Really enjoyed the round, and would definitely return to this one, and to try the other two.
Pine Lakes - Jeckyll Island
Great value for the money. Course is in excellent shape. A quiet, serene setting among the Georgian pines. Lots of wildlife with deer on frequent holes
Great Course
Course is a little long but in exelent condition. Holes 17 and 18 are tougher.
Solid Track
I'm a local so when you play this course in the winter I always expect the snowbirds from the north to be out. Was paired up with a very pleasant Canadian couple who were good golfers and good company.
The course is in excellent shape. The greens will fool you as the footing feels soft but they are surprisingly fast in comparison. The short par 4s challenge you off the tee in what club you use and how much you want to bite off. The 18th par 4 is one of the toughest you'll play due to length and water down the right side of the fairway.
Pine Lakes Course
When I saw the pictures on-line, I thought there would be more water holes. I can only remember 3 holes where water came into play.
I signed up as a single and the starter didn't have anyone to pair me up with, so I played as a single. It took me under 3 hours to do the loop. I paid $15 through Golfnow for a hot deal and another $6 to get onto Jekyll Island. After tips and soda, it might have cost me $30. That was a bargain. Course was in good shape. People are very friendly.
A walk in a park
A pleasure to play and in great condition for winter golf!!
Perfect greens and fairways
Great value and outstanding condition. I try to play this course each time I head south. Never disappointed.
Great Value
My husband and I played and paired up with a single. We played in 3 ½ hours and enjoyed it very much! A very interesting, well maintained course for a public course. Will play it again!
Pine lakes
Very nice course in excellent condition and very reasonably priced. Great fun for my son and I.
Course is in great condition!
Beautiful course with lots of water views. Lots of deer and picture opportunities.
