Jekyll Island Golf Club - Pine Lakes Course

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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

The overall course conditions were good but some greens have been infiltrated with some sort of weed or grass that needs to be irradiated.

Pace of play was abysmal on the front, but my partner and I were able to play through 2 groups at the turn and buzz through the back. Ranger would have been helpful. Greens were ok, consistent and relatively smooth. Nobody fixes ball marks. Plenty of sand in the bunkers, and I was paired with a great guy; made a new friend.

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.
