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.

Great course and layout

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.

Food fun

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.

Enjoyable Round - Friendly Staff

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.

Sand traps need more sand…a few were mainly dirt. Otherwise the course was very good. We played on a Sunday and the pace of play was very slow.

Played twice

I played this course after the heavy rain ended and the again after the course had dried out. Over all it is in nice shape although you will find a good many of the white and gold tee boxes are bare. There are a few greens with bad spots as well. If I had paid the $70 green fees listed I would have giving it a lower rating. I used a pay now and save plus my $10 monthly credit. This is a great course for $45. It would not pay $70 to play it though.

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.
