Although I have lived in the area for years I never seriously played golf until the summer of 2022.. This is a very nice course with enough challenges to hold my attention. The greens and fairways were in very good condition. The staff in the Pro Shop was very friendly and helpful. The deer were nice to see although Jekyll Island has lots of them. Six point buck and two doe! I would definitely play this one again!

Not Bad

Lots of wildlife course is an actually good better shape than the reviews say it was. Compared to the other two it’s not as good but it’s still not bad. Great layout couple of the greens were a little funky but all in all great time race course too bad it’s getting torn down.

Great Afternoon

I've played here many times. Overall, it's a great place to play. No rush this afternoon as it was fairly open. Course conditions were as expected. Mostly pretty good with some rough areas. Greens were okay to putt if the guy putting was a little better. 😂😂 Wish they could cut some of the dense underbrush and get some airflow on the holes. That would help with conditions and pace of play on busier days. Come down and play Jekyll Island!! You'll enjoy the experience!

Great layout, needs an uptick in maintenance

My gal and i had a great time and payed a great price for the Oleander Course. The pace of play on this course is great, the layout is a little narrow for some. Sadly, the maintenance levels are the lowest of the 3 courses, tee boxes are not fed and sprayed as needed, and some of the greens have bad grasses growing in on them due to a lack of a constant spray schedule. But for the escalating price of golf courses in this area, the deal was good.

Beautifull course

Great course and practice areas. Course was very well maintained. Proshop stagg was very nice and helpful. If you are in the area and looking to play a round or two, don't pass this one up.

Love it, but it’s soon to be demolished!

Have traveled to played here for the past 35 years… love the place! September has been an extremely wet month on Jekyll .. and since some of Oleander is below sea level the course was extremely wet! No Carts have been allowed on it recently, even the grounds crew have been unable to mow about 40% of the holes! It had not rained in 4 days, We walked it and it was the wettest course I have ever played! We still greatly enjoyed it! This course is to be demolished for development in 2023 (which is extremely Sad). I just hope that fact doesn’t hinder them from maintaining it until then! If you want to be surrounded by nature, lakes, and the ocean like 1000 yards away then go play Oleander before it’s too late!
