Jekyll Island

Love playing amongst the Georgia Pines.

The second cut was pretty long and hard to find balls.

Possibly understandable with the weather that just blew through.

Some of the greens were burnt or in rough shape.

Over all, still love playing there.

Played this course about a week after hurricane Helene came through; course was open but in bad shape with uncut grass; unkept greens; and debris littering the grounds. No problem, except they still charge a premium price to play . C’mon…

Greens have serious weeds growing which as you know late in day can cause your ball to change directions. We had cart path only on numerous holes. I never saw a reason for this except a couple of serious mud spots. It had not rained in days. Flagging or stakes could have kept carts away.

Doesn’t look like the course is being kept in same shape I played previously. Bunkers looked like no one was taking daily.

Jekyll has got so much rain that the course would or should be closed. However apparently they are closing soon for renovations - so does not matter.

We frequently had to drive thru 4 inches of water on cart paths for 40 yards at times. Still greens were dry and almost hard ( slight elevation helps). Pine Lakes has been renovated and looks great. It opens shortly. Oleander layout was decent and tree lined. 10 green was so small.. Just conditions were terrible.

Amusingly my wife's green ball had tiny green frog near it on 18th fairway.. Are you my mother?

No rangers anywhere.. You can imagine with cart path only and social golfers it was a slow day.

The course or Golf Now ought to let you know when the course is cart path only!!!

If you are visiting Jekyll with your sticks, I recommend playing Indian Mound. Conditions were great all around the course. The par 3s in the back nine will test you with small and tricky greens. I fee par 4s have some length and depends when the wind is coming from. Pine Lakes is currently getting renovated and hope to play it when it reopens. In the meantime, play Indian Mound.

Few of the greens had missing grass and or different grass in spots. Other than that it was enjoyable. Short course but tight off the tees

This is a challenging course, it was in good condition .

This pace of play was right at 4 hours.

Disappointed with this course, except for the two retired gentlemen I was paired with. They are members and made me feel welcome and apologized for course conditions and extremely slow pace.

I played was Oleander.

The landscape and fairways were very nice but once you got onto the greens they were a-bit ragged with large areas of only dirt without any grass, or weeds growing where when you put the ball bounces or moves from the line adding strokes too your score.

The course was not in good shape. The greens had bare spots and one even looked like a sand trap. Crab grass was all over the place and not mowed. If the course was kept up it would be worth the rate. There were two groups of 6 playing in front of us and that slowed us up horribly.

I have played many golf courses and this is the first one that I have ever seen a sand trap on a green. Most of the greens were in terrible condition. Crab grass growing wild all over. I would rate this course as a $30.00 per round in its current condition. Definitely not worth the drive from Savannah,GA to play.

Course is good. Staff is good. Pace of play was good. Just don’t forget you have to pay $10 to get on the island.
