Shrinking greens

Slowly inch by inch lot of greens are getting smaller because they are not cutting to the original edge and over time the greens are getting smaller. Don’t know if this is on purpose as a maintenance money saver .

Also not one ball washer on the course. What a shame. They have them in storage but again too lazy to put at least one every three or four holes.

Also another glaring issue is they removed all trash/ litter

containers from the course so now you’ll see more garbage throughout your round. Just another example of laziness and neglect on behalf of the course superintendent. Cutting corners while increasing the green fees. Jekyll Island prides itself in being a pristine and natural environment so return the littler containers

Perfect weather
Used cart

Newly reconstructed

The greens are all new and now perfect and quick. Sand traps have new loose sand. Fairways and tee boxes are in winter considtions (1.!6.25) but should be nice come spring. Does not appear that any changes were made to green size or slopes, fairway dimensions or undulations or trap sizes or depth. My concern is that the historic under funding of the maintenance for the course will continue. That would be unfortunate.

The Big Hustle

The starter came and got me and paired me with another golfer to get us off quickly and out of the way. After 1 hole we realized he had put us behind 2 foursomes,we then waited on every hole on .

Great renovations!

First time playing since the renovation - everything has improved. Greens are fast and firm, the revised bunkers are in great shape. Although it was cart path only, we maintained pace. Can’t wait to play it again!

Anniversary Round

We played here ten years ago where I proposed on the 18th Green. It was just as beautiful today as it was 10 years ago. Saw deer on multiple holes, herring and Red headed woodpeckers. Secluded and still green everywhere in late November. Hopefully it will be less than ten years before we return!

Tranquil

As a beginner, I find this course has less distractions than than other courses I have played. You almost never see houses or cars. But you do see wildlife and nature. We saw deer on almost every hole. This is quickly becoming my favorite course.

Pretty course

All was good except for the foursome 2 groups in front that was very slow until the last few holes when it started to get dark. -No ranger. Also the greens were not fast.

Pine Lakes

Fairways and greens were excellent. Only negative is cart path only for several more months to allow the new sod to take hold. Will wait till carts are allowed before playing again.
