Greens are Gone

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.

Good Course

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.

Vast potential unrealized

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. ;)

Still Jekyll Golf

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!

Rude and Overpriced

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.

Indian mound course

Fairways, bunkers were excellent condition. However most tee boxes and just about all greens were in horrendous conditions. Not worth the price to play in my opinion but the staff was excellent and very nice. Wish someone form the clubhouse would have warned me about the greens before we got out there but it is what it is.

Good bones, lack of maintenace

The greens were in horrible shape, but everything else was worth the money. Don’t know how that’s possible. Starter was also very rude for no reason.

Course review

Great staff and it's a good course. I feel that it's a bit overpriced considering the course conditions. Overall, it's a nice course and I would play it again if im ever around the area but I wouldn't go out of my way to play.

Ying and Yang

Course location was great, course looks nice, until. Tees and greens need a LOT of help. If you like bumpy putting, this is the course for you. Doubt we will go back.

Nostalgic

Hadn’t played here since before the Pandemic & it brought back memories. It was in great shape and the greens were nearly perfect!

Greens really bad

Pine Lakes was so nice Indian Mounds was a disappointment. Greens were really bad. Hopefully these will be replaced when Grand Dunes opens.

Course is not appropriate for play

Greens are horrible. I failed to look at reviews prior to booking and showing up. What mistake. Greens are not playable. Weeds all through greens.

How could the employees not mention to costumers that booked this course?. Worst greens I have ever played.

Looked at other course on the site while playing. They were playable. Next day I went to a different area to play because my respect for the workers at the facility is disappointing for not pointing out the conditions.

Horrible Greens

This course should not be open for public play at this time. The greens are horrible. I can’t believe nobody mentioned how bad it was in the clubhouse.

Pine lakes

Played pine lakes. Was in good shape. Some fairways a bit thin. Very very hot day and little water on course Overall, the re-do of pine lakes was nice. Pretty good shape, some bunkers were hard though.
