Pine Lakes

The course was in excellent condition given the rains we had over the previous 3 days. The fairways were firm and there were no holes that were designated cart path only. Perfect weather and paired with a great twosome making the experience memorable. One of the best values in the southeast Georgia region.

Save your money

Indian Mound may look inviting, but I implore you to save your money. The conditions on this course would barely be passable if it were a municipal course charging $30 for 18 and a cart. Unfortunately, at more than double the cost, it’s a total waste. The greens are largely unattended, with even some of them having weeds growing on them. The fairways are extensions of the rough, just cut lower. In some cases, they are littered with bits of dirt that render your ball a muddy mess. The tee boxes are similarly overgrown; a feature you’ll have plenty of time to notice because the pace of play on this course is consistently horrid. I’ve played 3 times (shame on me) and it’s not uncommon to be waiting on the tee boxes and fairways of every hole. I’ve seen 4-5 groups on par 5s on multiple occasions. As if the on-course experience wasn’t bad enough, the halfway house also leaves much to be desired. It functions primarily as a restaurant, with a menu and prices to reflect it. I ordered a hot dog, and received a lukewarm, foil-wrapped dog to the tune of $15. I’ve played hundreds of rounds of golf, and can honestly say I’ve never heard of a hotdog that expensive. If you enjoy paying nearly $100 for chewed up fairways, 5 hour rounds, and sweaty pork products, please play here. Otherwise, cough up an extra $15 and play somewhere else. You’ll thank me later

Enjoyed this course

This was our first time playing this course. Enjoyed the layout, course both fairways and greens in very good condition. We did find ourselves always waiting for the group ahead and the group behind us was always at our tail.

So other than the waiting this course was well worth playing and I'd recommend it to others.

Bad value for current condition

The course is in rough shape as it’s still young. However, with a recently renovated course that is supposed to be their top course they left a lot to be desired. The cart paths were terrible. Signage is terrible. Rough fairways, tee boxes and greens that aren’t fully developed is understandable but the rest of the course should have been pristine. The views and scenery at the course left me a bit disappointed. The layout is nice. They have no business charging full price ($145) until they either finish the renovation or it’s in better shape.

No great shape.

After seeing the other 2 courses on the property the fairways and green conditions on Indian Mound were very disappointing. The other courses looked pristine. We had the course to ourselves basically so pace of play was good. I liked the layout.

A dog track not a golf course. Run far away

The course is in abysmal shape. The greens are terrible with holes dug in them by some animals. I was told by one person there armadillos and I believe it. There are also holes in the fairways. Their ankle brake holes too, so beware you could easily break your ankle in one of those armadillo holes. This course needs to close down for at least 3 to 4 months and have the staff do some miracle work on it or else you’ll just be disappointed and crying at the end of the day.

I was actually speaking with someone that had played there and said you should write honest review and I said that I would.

Play somewhere else this is a dog track

Of course isn’t about the worst condition. Possible greens are horrible with holes in them dug by animals probably armadillos. The grass on the fairway is dead mostly. I recommend that you close this course and start over or at least give it a good makeover worth 3 to 5 months. If you play this, you’re wasting your time and your money.

Course Good for Hot Deal Price

We play Indian Mound frequently when staying nearby. The course--which is scheduled to be redone this summer--isn't is the condition that we're accustomed to at our home course, but for the price of a GN Hot Deal, we can overlook the bare spots. For this round, pace of play was excellent, with no one behind us and only a twosome ahead of us.

You Get What You Pay For

We play Indian mound frequently when visiting in the spring and fall because one of us is a beginner and the price is right. with a GN pass. However, with that, we sometimes encounter issues with the pace of play; I would never consider playing on a weekend because of this.. It's the luck of the draw; we completed this round in 3.5 hours, with only slight backups with two separate singles ahead of us. The next day, at the same time of day, the club ran out of golf carts and balls at the driving range in early afternoon. This course needs maintenance; .The "rough" is primarily dirt and roots and some tee boxes have no turf whatsoever. The GPS on the carts, while a nice perk, is very frustrating; During this round, I actually had the cart lock up ON a cart parth. We will be choosing the newly redone courses like Pine Lakes for the remainder of our stay here. Indian Mound, of course, is much flatter than what we are used to up north and there is virtually no rough, so only a few clubs required to play.
