Cool windy day

Area had heavy rains making the courses a little wet and challenging. Course was still a little challenging and fun at the same time.

Not What I expected!

The course was mushy and wet. We were not informed of the bad grounds. Many of the greens have weeds growing on them which makes putting difficult.

Poor condition

It's a well-designed golf course but the greens are pathetic and I don't understand how people could give such good reviews!

Good value

It was a beautiful day and we were pleasantly surprised by a steady pace. The fairways and greens were in good condition. Overall we had a great round for the money. Will play there again.

Feb 2024-avoid this course

I’m a scratch golfer and I golf often. The Jekyl staff was the Rudest staff I have ever encountered. Miserable people!! Quoted a price on the phone then denied that price and added $30 extra. Would not match the price on this app. Completely unfriendly. Explains why the course was so empty on a Friday beautiful day. Pace of play was great 👍

Now the course. I have played here a few times a year for many years. Love the island but would not come here for the golfing alone. Right now 1 of the three courses is closed for much needed renovation. The entire course is Smokey from underbrush cleanup. Conditions are super wet as this course has never drained very well. Never play it after a rainy day. Bugs are really bad, course is not allowed to use any chemicals for pest treatment other than fire (I asked). The greens are the worst I have played on in years. Looks like Poi Ana clumps of grass have taken over. Putts impossible to make. Just a horrible over priced disaster. Was planning another foursome today but decided leave the island to play somewhere else.
