Jekyll Island Golf Club - Pine Lakes Course

Played both Pine Lakes and Oleander courses. Airways great greens slow. Given about of rain here recently both courses in very good condition.

Flat layout with well placed bunkers and trees. Water comes into play often. Greens are flat mostly and grainy.

Had a great day of golf. We saw wildlife on almost every hole. The course was in great shape even though the area had received a lot of rain lately. The greens were very well maintained, and the bunkers had steep sharp sides. :) very nice course...I plan to return soon.

Course was in great shape after absorbing 8 inches of rain in 3 days. Although it was cart path only, pace of play was pretty good and the greens were good even with all the rain. Its the fourth time I've played at Jekyll Island and its never been more than 3 and 1/2 hours. Excellent value for a well maintained golf course.

Of the two courses, Pine Lake was in in better shape than Oleander. Greens were in poor condition at Oleander. Staff was moderately friendly. Overall good value for the price.

I have played all the Jekyll courses over the years and I'll continue to do so because of the fair pricing. The layouts are pretty interesting and the wildlife and nature views are outstanding. I played Pine Lakes this year and found it to be the best conditioned of the courses. The downside of all the Jekyll courses is that the ground is too soft, in my opinion. The soft ground results in very slow greens that don't put true. I just tell myself to expect that and feel that it's still a fair value for the rates they charge. It seemed that the staff had not cut new hole locations recently, because the edges of the holes were not sharp.

The total experience was less than expected. The course personnel were good, the course itself was in good condition. I was disappointed in two areas - the driving range. and the availability of cold drinks. When the provided token was inserted in the range ball machine it delivered about 10 balls ( this for a three dollar fee) The sign at the Starter station read " no personal coolers allowed " I thought well, at least we will have a cart with drinks and snacks - no such luck. The two water coolers on the course, one was cool the second was warm. This with almost 90 degree weather.

Played behind a group of 4 that hacked it all over the course. Would not let a group of two by. Even at the turn when two of the group were getting food at pro shop. Marshall no where to be seen.

Wonderful experience. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.saw a lot of wild life. It had a steady sea breeze. Good pro shop,driving range,and carts

I really enjoyed this course. The fairways were relatively narrow which provided a challenge. The greens were recently aerated, which caused some difficulty putting, but it was very enjoyable.

Beautiful play through the Georgia pines with broad, long fairways that lull you into thinking you will easily conquer the course.
The hidden secret--the greens are among the most clever, tricky holes in the ground I've played. They will keep you humble but you will leave with a smile on your face. You'll be playing inside a postcard.

Teed off at 12:40 as scheduled and finished at 3. Can't beat that pace of play. Other than the hot weather it was very good e

It was our first visit to Pine Lakes and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The course is challenging but fairways are wide enough for those occasional errant shots. Course is in great condition but don't expect much of a roll on fairways. GolfNow price made this an excellent value.

Playing over on Jeykle Island was a outstanding value and the course was really in good shape

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 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.

Very good greens....fairways in good condition....will definitely play again.

The Pine Lakes track has always been a favorite and stays in good condition. This course is fair and beautiful. The people who run the place are fun and professional.

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.

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.
