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.

Best of the 3
Pine Lakes is the better of the three 18 hole course at Jekyll. Moderately difficult, very well maintained, classic southern coastal layout. It poured down rain the night and morning before I played but the fairways and greens drained nicely. I think I only contended with two soggy spots on the course in 18 holes. Only negative point I have and this is generally speaking for the entire complex, don't shut down the 19th hole so ridiculously early on a Saturday. I was done playing at 3p and my father and I wanted to grab a couple of beers and lunch. No such luck, bar and grill were closed. We weren't the only ones looking to enjoy the 19th hole either. We went to SeaJays instead. Great place for an after round meal if the clubhouse at the course is closed.
30 years ago
It was so nice to return and visit Jekyll Island after 30 years. We enjoyed our round of golf . The staff was so outgoing from beginning to end. The course has some beautiful scenic scene . I totally recommend you to play a round ,it is well worth it
Very great experience
We got a good rate from Golf Now. The 63 hole complex was very busy when we arrived. Anticipated a rushed feeling, however it was a very relaxed round of play. The course was in great shape. We will have to play Jekyll again.
Incredible Value!
Can't beat the courses on Jekyll Island for the price. Beautiful scenery with a laid back, relaxed atmosphere. Courses in great condition. Can't wait to have a weekend golf getaway with friends. Two thumbs up!
Nicer than expected
Jeckyll Island hasn't been on my list of places to go. My son had received a gift of a round of golf for two. So, my two sons played free golf while a paid but it was worth the drive (Jacksonville) and price. It was in nice shape and was a lot of fun. I liked it because it was like courses I played years ago when I first played.
One of the most picturesque courses played.
This was the second time I played Pine Lakes. Joined up with a couple so we were a threesome. The play seemed slow, we had small waits on every hole but still played it in 4:15.
What happened is that we had the time to really look around at each hole and enjoy the scenery. Hole after hole had just enough change to see something new. Just all around beautiful picturesque scenes
that made the day enjoyable just to be outside with the golf the icing on the cake..
Well Managed
We've played the courses at Jekyl Island a number of times and have been satisfied. Weather was perfect, courses were crowded, but we got around in about 4:15. Got paired with another 2some and we had and enjoyable round. The Pine Lakes course is a bit boring, but the course was in good shape, and we were there for the weather.
Would play again
Couldn't believe the value of the Hot Deal at this place. The Island and the course were very nice. Played the main course, very nice.
Well worth the money
Went to the island to relax for the weekend and really enjoyed the course. Fairways and greens in very good condition. Staff very friendly. Cant wait till next time.
Like this course
Like playing this course. It was in good shape after the rainy days. Some challenges but a fair course..
18 enjoyables
Perfect weather and a fun course, cannot be beat for a good time. Partenered up with friendly folks.
What a Deal !
Friendly staff, well maintained, beautiful course. Jekyll Island golf is terrific !
Great value
The course was in pretty good condition for 12/7. The greens were fuzzy and slow but still putted true. It was a great value for the money. The only issue we had was a foursome we caught up with on #14 would not let us play through even though we waited on every shot and there was not a group to be seen in front of them. After the round, they were with a much larger group leading me to believe they were part of a league or blitz.
Lovely desigh in a natural setting.
Challenging, plays longer than it measures, fair. Relatively tight off of the back tees. Trees a definite factor! Green speeds inconsistent and a bit slow. Guessing due to the winter rye coming in.
At times it was difficult to focus on your game, due to the numerous island deer bounding about the fairways and resting near the tee boxes!
A real bargain and a definite repeat.
Nice natural setting beautiful Oaks and lots of wildlife.
I enjoyed playing this track. It was a very natural setting with lots of deer, gators, etc...Beautiful Oaks line many of the fairways. Overall the course was well maintained. Greens ran well and had good speed. Tee boxes in good shape and fairways well maintained. It was an enjoyable round.
Rude Starter Ruined the Experience
First, the course is fine. It is an interesting design and in good condition. It was very muddy despite lack of recent rain, so there may be a soil drainage issue in areas. I booked an early "Fast Play" tee time through GolfNow and teed off before 8 as a single. I played the front in 1:10 and enjoyed the course. I got to the 10th tee and found two foursomes waiting to tee off. I asked the starter what was going on and he told me they were using split tees because they had a lot of players and one course was closed. My response was that was a business management issue and not a cause to ruin my round. To which he said, "what are we supposed to do?' The obvious answer is don't take so many tee time reservations if you have a course closed, or don't close a course on a busy day. Either way, jamming foursomes ahead of the early tee times was rude. Needless to say, the back side took 2:25 and I found myself waiting 10-15 minutes on every tee. The twosome behind me quit. The threesome behind them caught up to me on several holes and said they would not be coming back. I had a chance to play several more rounds during my vacation, but opted for other courses because of JI's lack of customer service.
This would be a four star course if not for the management.
Excellent course
Great course
Green and fairways were. Great
Very scenic and a friendly staff
Very nice course, very well maintained.
All areas of the course were in very good condition. Really appreciated number of tee choices, we played the Gold which fit our games nicely.
Always nice
Would be pristine but had much weekend tourney play and traffic.
