Jekyll Island

Bare/dirt spots in the fairways and greens. Bumpy poa annua and bare spots on greens which are so small the greenside bunkers are no longer greenside. Some fairways/rough were cut but the debris remained as in the picture. Apparently they spend more time on the other courses as the conditions here have declined.

The course was in fantastic condition, enjoyed the round. We play there again !

Pine Lakes Course was in great condition. The greens and fairways were well maintained and looked like artificial turf. We saw wildlife on every hole, There were deer everywhere, birds of all types, raccoons, gators, we saw an Osprey fishing in one of the ponds. It was a very enjoyable experience.

Paid $75 to play Pine Lakes…good layout (not great). Greens rolled about 9, but in very good shape. Played as a twosome in 3 hours (awesome time of year - August 14). Average driving range.

Pine lakes was a very nice golf course. Lies were excellent and there are some challenging holes with water and shape. Greens were in great shape without crazy amounts of break and speed. A great course to play on and score low if you are a seasoned player. Immediately raved to family about the place. Two other tracks were under renovation, but from what I could see I will be returning to play. If playing in august bring plenty of water.

I was desperate to play Friday and checked out tee times in the app. Indian Mound sounded reasonable in terms of price and tee time. Showed up and when I got to the putting green I noticed it was in poor condition. And it was probably the best green I saw. I was in the first group, so we played fast, and the lay out is nice. It would be worth it after the redo the greens. Supposedly gonna do that when the new course opens. Won’t come back until they fix the issue and that won’t be for more than a year. They could lower the green fees from $75 but they haven’t.

The greens on this course are terrible. Perhaps the worst I've ever played. One of their other courses is being renovated and another recently so. I have to assume this one is on the list. Just know coming in what to expect or ask when you make your reservations.

Greens were atrocious. Dead spots and weeds everywhere. Course layout is nice, fairways are in good shape and wild life is plentiful. Hard to play competitive golf with greens that bad. Probably worth $30-$40/round for beach golf, not 75

overall the course was in very good shape, except the greens which is why i give a 4/5 rating.

the greens were bermuda (i think) and they had weeds all over them. there is another course that is part of the jekyll island courses and even uses the same starting shed and you could see their greens and they didnt have the same weeds in their greens, it was like putting after an areation every hole. you would think the greens are on the same spray schedule but maybe since the other course is a little bit more money they can do more for those greens.

also bring bug spray bc the biting flies on jeykll are no joke

The course was in the worst shape of any course I’ve ever played. I believe that due to the new construction of great dunes as well as the renovation in 2022 of Pine Lakes, which is fantastic. I love that course. They have completely neglected Indian amount. Would never play it again.

Had a nice time with a buddy on a hot Sunday afternoon. Pro shop staff was nice but NO ICE for the carts was a little disappointing.

Fairways were in good shape, tee boxes could use a refresher for sure, but the greens were in terrible shape. Many greens had a weed invasion that was simply cut down but not remediated appropriately. Result was choppy greens that made realistic (normal) putting impossible. I won’t play that course again until I know the greens have been replaced.

It’s a good course to play. The real issue is the greens. Once those are proper then the course would be a lot better.

A beautiful course with vast potential. The greens might be the worst I’ve ever played. Overridden with crab grass that’s been mowed to green length. Every putt was like dropping the ball in the Plinio game on the Price is Right. If you say three Hail Marys and make a sacrifice to the gods, your putt might hold the line you intended. Otherwise, your ball bounces to and fro like a tilted pinball machine. Don’t know how they’d fix it without completely killing the greens and reseeding or resodding. It’s a shame they’re on the maintenance struggle bus. They’ve let it go and I don’t think they can get it back. Also the sand is so fluffy it’s like hitting out of whipped cream. And, they don’t allow you to bring your own cooler, which would be fine if they provided cold water periodically along the course. In the 98 degrees with 80% humidity, they also made the questionable decision to disallow us from buying ice for the cart cooler (which they posted as a $4 charge) because they said the demand for ice was too high. Hmm? Wonder why? Other than that it was perfect. ;)

Heard Indian Mounds had some issues and yes, they do. Having a problem with bald spots on greens and weeds on the greens. Really not any different than if they recently aerated the greens. Line up your putt and stay true to your read. It is still Jekyll Golf! Friendliest place this side of Disneyland and near perfect fairways. Furthermore, you know they will fix what needs fixing. Stay the course and have faith!

The staff was rude and the course was nowhere near the $100+ and the hour and a half drive that went into playing it. Would not recommend to anybody.

Good course good price. The greens on Indian mound needed some TLC.
