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.

Unexpected surprise
We came up from Ponte Vedra and friends from Atlanta and played on Pine Lakes. First time I played the course in eight years and was pleasantly surprised, just goes to show you can’t believe all the reviews as we play golf a lot and this course was very nice and in great shape.
Great day at Pine Lake!
Course is in great shape and the greens are rolling true. Some weeds in the rough, but only on a few holes. The gators were not interested in us and the deer were everywhere. Beautiful morning!
Greens in good shape & rolled great. Fairways & tee boxes thin with very little grass!
Course Condition
Very disappointed in the condition of the course Pine Lakes. No grass on fairways only weeds. Greens weren’t great either. Played the course main times in the past 10 years and that is the worst I have seen it.
Bag guys need lessons on how to put golf bags on a power cart
fairway conditions were deplorable and difficult to find any grass to move your ball to. greens were in good condition. overall, the course lacked maintenance and consistency in conditions. very disappointing.
All 3 courses have soft fairways. There is no roll for your shots.
Pleasant resort course.
We enjoyed a leisurely round on a resort course. Many tee boxes and friendly fairways. A nice course at a fair rate.
Nice day
On Pine Lakes. Greens pure and nice fair pace. Bermuda fairways always a bit different. Not great lies but that’s the game. Bunkers outstanding. Fairly open front, back a bit narrower. 4 hour change round with walkers in front.. Wonderful facility with ample practice areas. Good bang for the buck this time of year. Monster gator on nine near lakes edge and my ball. Sound asleep with one eye open, he told me play away.
Enjoyable
Everything was great except fairways. Very thin not much grass. Traps were much better than before. Greens were good. Practice area beat up 19th hole was great and friendly
Great day playing golf!
I am spending a month on St. Simons Island and have enjoyed playing all three of the courses. We invited a single golfer to join us which made for a great round of golf. Each time we have seen deer, alligators, turtles and beautiful birds to add interest as we progressed around the course.
Storm shortened
Only able to play 11 holes as a front came through with more wind and rain. Folks in pro shop friendly and helpful. Greens in good shape, fairways were decent for this time of year. Rough was very thin and bare in a lot of places as Bermuda was dormant. Course had some good holes but overall not a lot of character. Worth playing if you don’t pay too much.
