Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6700 yards
Slope 131
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.

Great afternoon at Pine Lakes

Pine Lakes is an outstanding course as are Indian Mound and Oleander at Jekyll Island. The greens are well manicured, perfect fairways and the rough is not too punishing. If I had a complaint it would be that the starter could have started me on 10 instead of behind several foursomes. That being said, it's still a great golf experience.

Course was in great condition, green.

Course at times was challenging. First time out for the year and I was pleased with my game and the course. Had some tight areas, but overall a very nice course. Greens were in excellent shape, nicely cut fairways. Bunkers were hard, but a big rainstorm came through the day prior to our play. Overall, I would play again.

best course condition on jekyll

Played mid March. Fairways on the other courses were brown and in some cases top dressed but pine lakes fairways were green.
With dormant rough, course plays wide open.
Same issues with staff as on their other courses. Example - starter couldnt be bothered to acknowledge my wife existed, he just about walked through her to ask me for the coupon (which she had held out for him to check).
Fast pace of play on a reasonable layout but again we left unsatisfied because of poor staff interaction.

Straight forward layout, good for tourists

This course is well maintained, nothing real special on the layout, but ok. The island itself has a few things to look at before or after the round, so it makes a good tourist course. The site has 3 courses total. The Oleander course is the more desirable of the 3. The price on the courses was reasonable, so overall not a bad choice.

Nice

Played Pine Lakes. Always a fair test of quality golf. With cooler temps, seemed to play 1 to 1 1/2 club longer. Fairways are overseeded and green, but very, very tight lies. Hard to play fairway woods off such thin lies. Greens slow the day I played.

All in all, a very pleasant day on a very pleasant course.

Good Course at a Great Price !

Based on some reviews I read, I was not expecting much from this course. I was wrong. The facility has 3 golf courses. We played the Pine Lake Course. First of all, the price from Golf Now was great. Under $20 for 18 with a cart on a Sunday. The front desk and starter were all friendly. Although the course was busy, the pace was great. The course is in good condition, lots of different tees to use and lots of variety. Both sand and water on some holes. We really enjoyed our round and will be back.

Great shape for January. Tough 18th.

The course has a great mixture of tough and easy holes. The 18th should be the number 1 handicap hole, so save a good drive for it. The starter let a 5some play, which slowed things down. Ask before you tee off is one of the other 18s would be faster; they are pretty flexible. Nice to see the deer and birds. Don't bother looking for your ball in the deep rough, you can cut yourself on the low palms.

Course in good shape,greens run true

The slight elevation in front of most greens forces you to 'reach'the green'or have a great chipping game.

Worth every penny.

For the Golf Now price of $25, the course is everything you would want. With the one exception. Man the greens were SLOW. Other than that, I love to play the Jeckyll courses.
