Green
The greens are being infiltrated with some wee or some grass that needs to be addressed by the grounds crew.
Greens
Overall the course is in ovoid condition. But the greens are infiltrated with a weed or some other grass that needs to be quickly addressed or they may lose some greens altogether.
Greens
The overall course conditions were good but some greens have been infiltrated with some sort of weed or grass that needs to be irradiated.
Good resort course
Pace of play was abysmal on the front, but my partner and I were able to play through 2 groups at the turn and buzz through the back. Ranger would have been helpful. Greens were ok, consistent and relatively smooth. Nobody fixes ball marks. Plenty of sand in the bunkers, and I was paired with a great guy; made a new friend.

Overall course was in good condition. Tee boxes and fairways were I great shape. Greens has a few bare spots and some diseased area. I would recommend play
Love Jekyll Island Courses
We always love playing Jekyll Island courses. Staff is friendly, equipment is always clean and in great condition, and the course is both well manicured and challenging. Well worth the money.
Course was in good shape but the greens not as much
What a gem
What a gem. This was a bucket list course for me. It was worth every penny. The only reason I gave a few 4’s was a few spots on the greens. Maybe 2 or 3. The fairways were immaculate. Beautiful soft turf. Perfect tee boxes. Amazing views. Probably my favorite round I have ever played. It was a Saturday and there was 2 other people out. Amazing. Can’t wait to come back.
Weeds everywhere.
Pro shop and starters not friendly. weeds on every green. Nice layout, needs work.
I was passing thru and used Tee off to choose a course, this was reasonalby priced and good for walking, the course was in great shape, not too much trouble and I scored well for a senior, would recommend to a friend
The course was in great 👍shape the pace of play was excellent no one pushing us no one was holding us up beautiful scenery 👍 with the lakes and rivers we will return 😀 thanks for a wonderful round
Needs Course Management
We were early for our tee time and were at the starters shack about 7 or 8 minutes ahead of our tee time. Starter was a unhappy person who barely spoke Stike one. He informed us we were behind the group over there and pointed. There was a group of 7 waiting ahead of us, a group of four on the tee and another threesome on the fairway. I guess we all had the same tee time, Strike two. The group ahead of us hit multiple balls, multiple times searched for their gold encrusted balls for hours, no marshalls in site. We finished our round in 5 hours 45 minutes Strike three. Never coming back.
Wet!
I’m no grounds keeper but the fairways were very wet and not much turf.
I understand keeping the course watered under extreme heat but it was in the 70’s this week.
With the threat of rain all week.
Almost like they’ve been over played.
The greens were in great shape!
I always enjoy playing on Jekyll Island, it’s beautiful.
