Jekyll Island

You've got a chance to play every club in your bag

.I truly enjoyed playing this course. A golf course that was on my bucket list. If you get a chance play

Great value. Course on very good shape

Bunkers are consistent with quality sand. Green are fast and true..Layout has variety with left and right sockets and reachable 5 fives if you hit a quality tee shot.s.

Great course. Winter conditions a bit tough. Fairways are cut really short in winter. Greens smoking fast but in good shape. Long par 4’s but doable and alot of fun.

The course is a classic layout and truly beautiful. Even with brown, dormant grass it was inviting and interesting. Unfortunately the greens and the areas immediately around them were not as inviting. The areas surrounding the greens were soft, almost muddy, and in need of work. This was surprising, as there has been less than normal rainfall of late. The greens themselves were very slow and bumpy, with a lot of bare spots covered with green dye and fertilizer. The chances of a putt rolling straight and true were slim. It was frustrating and took a bit of fun out of the round..

This course is in very rough shape. While the greens were decent, the fairways and tee boxes are awful, very rough and bare in many areas. The areas between holes look like a construction zone. No monitoring of pace of play. We had a 5 hr round, waited on every hole. Course has a long way to go.

Not worth your time or money IMO.

Course is pretty wide open but lots of bunkers protecting greens and strategically placed in fairways. Conditions were very good and staff was friendly. Decent value for the money and would come back next time we’re in the area.

It cost ~$140 to play here so I expected it to be great quality. The greens were very lumpy and fairways have tons of bald spots in them. There are local courses in better condition for that price

One of my favorite course designs of all time! Also by far my new favorite semi-public course to play when i am on the coast. There are some areas in some fairways/greens that need to grow in, but by this spring/summer '26 i am sure it will be in PRIMO shape. Was really a treat!

Why sell 2 PM tee times and rush folks to finish by 5. Course is 126 per person is a joke. It’s new so I’ll give it a few more rounds. Until it’s matured play Pine Lakes!!

Have played all the Jekyll courses for many years, and they were some of my lifelong favorites. Hoped upon my return I could find the course changes enjoyable. However, This new merger of the 9 hole Great Dunes course and 9 holes from Oleander has ruined the Jekyll Island Golf experience. Yes Oleander had some seasonal wetness issues on several holes, it had been that way for years but always looked great. However they used this as an excuse in recent years. The problems here came from poor management & upkeep. In recent years you could find grass growing in the sand traps on all the courses and other easily solved issues as well. This new combines course has no flow to it. Course Conditions will improve with time however Its like playing 18 holes on 3 different designs… just plain weird. They are promoting the 4 hole and the roadside/seaside green as something special when in fact this green has been there for decades and nobody promoted it then. This combination was nothing more than a land grab so that much of Oleanders back 9 could be eventually used commercially by the Island authority. And the promotion of seaside golf is a ploy to justify the new doubled Rates! and it also eliminated affordable golf to the many who played the 9 hole Great Dunes course for years. The beautiful holes from Oleanders back nine were some of the prettiest holes you could find. i find it odd that they say the ‘water problem’ forced them to redesign and eliminate the back 9, yet they turn around and now use the #10 & #18 holes as a driving range. The monstrosity they have created with this new Great Dunes course is a complete joke of a golf course!

We thoroughly enjoyed this track and will be back for sure. Looking forward to playing the other courses at Jekyll Island Golf club.

It is very impressive what the staff out at Jekyll Island Golf Club was able to do with the redesign of this golf course. The sand dunes were awesome and provided a unique hole experience on every single hole. The greens are quite slow, but that is due to the severe undulation of the greens. If the greens were any faster it would severely limit their pin placements. My only knock on the course is that you don't get free range balls before your round. In my opinion if you are going to charge $135 for a tee time the range balls better be included. Other than that the course was awesome!

Let me start by saying...We absolutely loved Jekyll Island — it’s truly one of Georgia’s gems. Everywhere else on the island, from the restaurants and shops to the shrimp and grits festival, the hospitality and organization was beyond exceptional. Every interaction we had made us feel welcome and reminded us why we love visiting.

That’s why our experience at Jekyll Golf Club was such a disappointment. The course itself is stunning — beautifully designed, well-kept, and full of character. It’s easily one of the most enjoyable layouts we’ve played, and we travel to different courses across Georgia and Alabama nearly every weekend.

Unfortunately, the customer service we encountered didn’t reflect the same quality. The older gentleman working in the pro shop that day was unexpectedly rude and dismissive, which set a negative tone for the round and really stood out against the otherwise warm hospitality found everywhere else on the island.

The round starting great, The starter at the first tee box gave us good directions and let us know we had no one in front of us and to enjoy our round. We did'nt see anyone but wildlife until hole 11. (1 hour and 35 minutes in) Once we got on hole 11, 3 carts full of teens, 6 total people- 2 golf bags were hacking up the fairway. Hitting several balls each, trading clubs and you could obviously see they were disrespecting the course. After waiting more than 15 minutes and having another group behind us waiting we called the club house to let them know to send a marshal or worker out to speed them up and handle the situation. Mind you the carts are GPS and they should be able to alert the monitors and speed the group in front of us up. The older gentleman on the phone was very rude and stated "what the h*ll you want me to do about it? I'm the only one here, there's nothing I can do". After this unresolved conversation and the shock of the rudeness, We let the group behind us go around and gave them another 15 minutes head way because we knew they would have to wait as well on the next hole. We returned to the club house after it took over 3 hours hours to finish the back 9. It was 530pm and there were 4 employees (obviously more than 1 single employee) hanging out on unused carts as well as the older gentleman in a collared shirt outside the club house. We loaded up the car and drove the cart to use the restroom. When we came out to drive the cart over to return it, it was gone. One of the employees walked over and took it with our score card and phone. We had to walk around the building to reclaim our belongings. Granted we were not the last ones on the course several groups were behind us. To feel rushed at 530pm, after we were held up by groups that we asked to be resolved was very disappointing. The course closes at 6pm and there was no way the groups behind us finished in a timely manner. We noticed the group we let go around gave up after the 13th hole and left. To pay that sort of money and not be able to enjoy what you paid for is ridiculous.

It’s disappointing, because with a team that matched the level of care seen across the rest of Jekyll Island, this course could easily rank among the best golf experiences in the Southeast. We truly hope management takes this feedback to heart, because the course and the island both deserve better representation at the front counter.
