Reviews
Mediocre at best
We got there early and it's a nice course however it's a pretty old course and they chose to keep the grass very high on all of the tee boxes.
The land is pretty low, so there were a lot of wet spots and soggy areas along the fairways. They have this alarming noise that hit you if you get just slightly close to the designated low wet areas. For some reason, the staff teamed us up with a fourth member without talking to us who happened to be 82 years old and extreme slow. We were very polite to him and wanted to make sure he was OK. However, it destroyed our entire game. We ended up having to rake out the sand trap for him by the eighth hole so we could finish. The reason why we finished within the regulated times because we pretty much just picked up our bowl and just helped him get through. It was terrible. So media Course, annoying alarm, high grass on all the taste where you could barely put the tea into the ground to see your golf ball in a couple of them. And a pairing with a guy we did not expect or want.
The course has some some nice features
The course can use some updating , especially the greens.
Challenging Course
Challenging course. Greens were in great shape. The holes need to be marked better, somewhat confusing for the first time playing.
Excellent conditions
Terrific course on the island. The renovations completed a few years ago continue to be maintained at a high level. Greens, fairways, and tees are all in great shape. Greens roll true and have always enjoyed playing here. It is a very playable course and peaceful round within the woods with no homes along the entire property. Some holes are tight while others are more open. The 18th hole is a great finishing hole, and believe it to be the hardest hole on the course with water on the right for most of the hole. I question 18 being the 6th hardest hole on the course though.
Goat ranch
Of the three courses at the club Indian Mound was the course that has been neglected. Fairways were not mowed, greens were also not cut and were not smooth and lots of bare spots
Once again
Great value for theoney given the cost to play other courses in this area.
Beautiful Course, but tough
Course looks great, very scenic with a lot of native area around the greens. As an 8 handicap, this course was tough. The area outside the fairways is almost unplayable at times, not very forgiving if you miss your drive. Greens were very firm and the ball did not spin much at all, some greens have multiple mounds which makes for tough landing areas. I wouldnt recommend this course for a casual golfer as you're probably gonna lose a lot of balls. Looking forward to doing it again though, its a very scenic course and the layout is unique.
Great play
The amenities are dated but the staff makes up for it. The course was in very good condition and the pace of play was exceptional. I would recommend playing this course without question.
Beatiful course and scenery
Very nice course, well maintained. Good score possible. Did see lots of wildlife incl an alligator, many deer, and birds.
Course and staff were great
We played Friday. Tried to get a tee time for Saturday. And were told ‘nothing available, an outing on Saturday’’. Talking to Wayne the Starter before we teed off, he says ‘I’ll see what I can do for you’. By the time we finished, he had us booked for Saturday. Second group,out, threesome played in 3:40. Wayne went above and behind. Entire staff was very friendly and the course was in great shape. Greens rolled very true
Rained out
We were rained out starting the back 9 but leaving area so no rain check. Only played front 9. Thunder storm and horn went off to get off course.
Good day to knock it around
Played as a twosome the last deal time ahead of course closure for fertilizing. A quiet Tuesday early September lots of clouds and occasional light showers. Had a good time played poorly but survived. Nearly had course to ourselves and pace of play was fantastic. Conditions were ok but could be so much better. Nothing too memorable.
Oine Lakes
Course was in excellent condition. With all the rain we have experienced, the course drains very well Fairways are lush and the greens run true. All the bunkers had quality sand and were consistent. With high prices on St. Simons Pine lakes is a fantastic value..Also has a great driving range.
Terrific golf course
Great course great people couldn’t be more pleased… the starter Bill was great and Abby and the pro shop couldn’t have been nicer
Best Cart Guys In The State of Georgia!
Man... from the time we dropped our bags until we left, we were treated like royalty!
The course was firm and lush, greens were smooth glass. Played with the most amazing wildlife around us all day long, deer and birds! My 12 year old loved it!
One of the BEST courses I've ever played
We were in town for a work event and staying at the Cloister. We played The Retreat the day before. While the amenities were amazing, I found this course to be way more fun and it had gorgeous views. Everyone was so friendly and the 19th hole here was one of the best I've been to yet. Amazing atmosphere and great food. I can't wait to visit again to play the other two courses You MUST play this course!!
Great shape
Course was in the best shape I have ever seen in 17 years of playing golf on the course.
