About

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.

Nice Greens

The course is set up for different abilities. Keep it in play and score well.

Greens are hard and fast. Hit high approach shots and you should hold the green, if not you should think about landing short and running up.

Looking forward to playing again.

Maybe just bad timing

Pace of play was an obstacle. Single player in cart should be waived thru a foursome walking and looking for balls in the woods.

Cart Path Only

Had I known they still are not letting carts out. I would not have booked and paid for a cart and chosen to walk instead.

Pine Lakes

One of my favorite seaside courses just got better with an extensive re-do over the past two years. I like it even more now!

Needs maturation

Facility is under construction with complete renovation of adjoining Oleander/Historic 9 hole Jekyll Island course compilation. The smell of burning brush was evident. This course was newly renovated and the fairways and surrounds have not yet grown in. Any green missed means chipping or pitching off hardpan or dirt or sandy grung with wispy native grass. . . yuck. So, your answer comes back, ‘don’t miss so many greens.’ The problem is the greens are too firm to hold anything more than a 9 iron coming in. They just need some more time and irrigation to soften a bit. Like maybe a year. My advice is to play a bump and run although with the sandy surroundis, that too will be a game of chance.

Newly reconstructed

The greens are all new and now perfect and quick. Sand traps have new loose sand. Fairways and tee boxes are in winter considtions (1.!6.25) but should be nice come spring. Does not appear that any changes were made to green size or slopes, fairway dimensions or undulations or trap sizes or depth. My concern is that the historic under funding of the maintenance for the course will continue. That would be unfortunate.

Great renovations!

First time playing since the renovation - everything has improved. Greens are fast and firm, the revised bunkers are in great shape. Although it was cart path only, we maintained pace. Can’t wait to play it again!

Pine Lakes

Fairways and greens were excellent. Only negative is cart path only for several more months to allow the new sod to take hold. Will wait till carts are allowed before playing again.

Really Good day on a Good course

Rate a 4.5 if available. Course has just reopened & in really good shape, tees to greens, even sand traps. Rough is penalizing. Greens in great shape. After fairways fill in & matures it will become really nice. Played on cloudy day, pace of play excellent. Prefer a lower green fee but being a resort course, probably not happening. Highly recommend especially if you can a good deal

Fun course to play

Layout of the course is not terribly challenging but fun. A tee box for every level of player. Fairways were wet with sparse grass cover. Greens were fine, in good shape and seemed fast. Staff was friendly and welcoming.

Green

The greens are being infiltrated with some wee or some grass that needs to be addressed by the grounds crew.
