Jekyll Island Golf Club - Pine Lakes Course

We were early for our tee time and were at the starters shack about 7 or 8 minutes ahead of our tee time. Starter was a unhappy person who barely spoke Stike one. He informed us we were behind the group over there and pointed. There was a group of 7 waiting ahead of us, a group of four on the tee and another threesome on the fairway. I guess we all had the same tee time, Strike two. The group ahead of us hit multiple balls, multiple times searched for their gold encrusted balls for hours, no marshalls in site. We finished our round in 5 hours 45 minutes Strike three. Never coming back.

I’m no grounds keeper but the fairways were very wet and not much turf.

I understand keeping the course watered under extreme heat but it was in the 70’s this week.

With the threat of rain all week.

Almost like they’ve been over played.

The greens were in great shape!

I always enjoy playing on Jekyll Island, it’s beautiful.

This course is very peaceful even with people behind you the way it’s laid out you do not feel rushed.

Booked round at Pine Lakes, but was switched to Indian Mound because a group of 32 went off just before me. Pine Lakes reviews were better than the other 2, but because of pace of play, I got moved. Played through another single who was walking. Only 2.5 hrs to play. Excellent new carts. Greens were very slow and most all had some crab grass in them. Plenty of well placed sand traps and had sufficient sand. Unraked due to rains from 2 days before. Cart path only. Full service restaurant open until 9pm. Pro shop well stocked.

We played after some heavy rain so the grass was really saturated. But beside that the course was in great shape and we really enjoyed playing there. Except for the fact that we had a flight in front of us who consisted of 5 guys. That’s not acceptable.

Due to rain the soil of course was saturated with water. This made it hard tot play but the sun made it very comfortable after all . Due to a group of five in front of us (this should be prohibited) made it a very long play just till dawn.

Enjoyed the round. Fairways were excellent as well as the greens. Very true roll. Tees were mostly good. Will play again.

My 2 adult sons I played the Pine Lakes course. We enjoyed the course layout and condition. The traps were still a little wet from downpour the night before. Excellent driving range and large practice green. Various tee placements allows for family friendly play. The staff was courteous and efficient. All in all a very enjoyable round of golf. Would definitely recommend it to a friend.
