Jekyll Island

Have golfed here at Jekyll island many times over the years and on all the courses available. This year Indian Mounds is in very bad shape. Overall the fairways are ok however the traps are not maintained and the greens are horrendous. Frankly, they should pay us to play there.

Needing lots of work.

I was a single player with a T-time. I joined the twosome behind me on hole number three. We later teamed up with one player in a group of three in front of me. The other two players in that group were so frustrated with the pace of play and they quit after nine holes. Even after calling the clubhouse and a marshal coming out, it was no help. We had a total of 4 players combined from three different t-time groups and it took 5 hours and 20 minutes to play 17 holes. A storm came and we didn’t get to play number 18. That is insane. Managing the pace of play and putting too many golfers on the course is irresponsible and inconsiderate. I won’t go back.

Aside from the poorly kept greens, I loved the course

The course is in excellent condition. With the Golf Now discount, it is an excellent value.

Greens were full of weeds, not burmuda grass. Many of the greens had large bare spots with no grass or weeds. The cart paths had giant potholes & if near tee or green when trying to avoid one the GPS would stop the cart. The driving range was overpriced at $7.50 for a small bucket of balls & required to hit from a mat & not real grass. I've played better conditions at course costing less than $20 per tee time.

The putting green is tiny & difficult to find a 5 foot putt that will have 100% grass. The greens on the course were horrible! Multiple bare spots on every green & it looked like more weeds than grass.

The cart paths had more potholes than anyone could avoid. I've played public courses in cow pastures that were in better shape than this course!!!

The greens were horrible, fairways as bad, not worth the price. Even charged a rider fee for spouses. Not playing here again.

We enjoyed the round. Good condition. Good for the average golfer. Fairways are wide enough, bunkers in good shape, greens fair and quick and carts had GPS. Bunkers well placed but not onerous.

The only negative is what I consider slow pace. It took 4 hours 40 minutes and we teed off at 9:40 instead of 9:20. Not horrible but we waited on virtually every hole. ‘

Lunch was good in the restaurant after the round.

Greens have some bald spots and the tee boxes need some love but everything else was in real good shape!

I like the fact that there were alligators to be seen on the course. I did see one, although it was only the head sticking out of the water, but it was still cool to see.

Course was in good shape and staff was very friendly. For a Sunday afternoon the course was empty, we were a 2 some and played in 3 hours.

Sand traps are in excellent condition. From the gold tees, the 18th hole for a par 4 is extremely long (390 yds). I was fortunate to get on I. Regulation with driver, 3 wood into a one club wind. Will defines keep coming back.

We have golfed Jekyll Island Golf club for over 20 years. All 3 courses. We always go for my birthday in April. The courses are excellent and well kept. The staff are always friendly and courteous. We hope to go again later this year. You will see all kinds of wildlife...deer, alligators, raccoons, etc. We enjoyed our round. The greens were fast but very puttable. The Oleander Course is under construction now with a new design coming. We can't wait to play that one. Also, this time we had dinner in the restaurant on site for the first time. It was splendid. We had never eaten there before but we were happy with the choice.

Some tees had no grass. Many fairways had holes probably caused by animals . Traps not in good condition. Some greens were ok but many had bare spots. There was a dead armidillo next to a tee and had been there a while . They charged 75 because they can but certainly not worth it .
