Oleander, not worth the rate.

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

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.

Long round of golf

The course is challenging with a neat layout. The issue is they had the course set to cart path only due to being wet, and it caused a very slow pace of play. The fairways were more than dry enough for 90degree only. The greens were also eat up with goose grass and very slow. Could be a super fun course with a little better course management

Love Playing Jekyll

The Jekyll Courses are fun and well kept up. The one downside is that there is not enough on course water and it gets easily into the triple digits with heat index June, July and August. Edwin Watts! Sponsor large coolers of ice-water on at least every other hole.

3 Handicap Family Vacation Review

Course layout was really awesome. Haven’t played here in about 5 years. Short course - so birdies are out there. Some holes can be pretty tight for driver.

There is a lot of Risk/Reward off the tee.

Definitely a very fun course if solo or with a group. Great “gambling” course because there are so many short and narrow holes. Most of the course’s length is in the Par 5’s.

Only complaint was the greens were rolling about a 5-6 in June. If the greens were to be rolling fast - place would be immaculate for tournament play.

Will definitely come back to play here - especially with a group. Fun track!

Oleander Course

Excellent staff, course was in great shape. We had to make sure we followed GPS in the cart and cart paths because there were no tee box numbers to let you know you were on the right tee. But we got it figured out quickly and truly enjoyed our round. FAST greens

Poor Course Condition

Some greens are being lost. Multiple weed variations in greens. Bare hard pan places on fairway

Really inconsistent

Everything about the facility is inconsistent. The courses need some work. The range is in terrible shape. It's what you would expect from a state park golf course.

Great deal among the Islands

Of the courses in the area this is by far the best deal! Lovely staff and fun golf. Some of the other courses in the club are under construction and I can’t wait to come back and play again.

Jekyll Indian Mounds

Great course. Excellent pace of play (3.5 hours). A bit noisy due to adjacent course renovation

We had a great time
