An all-time favorite! (Not maintaining Bunkers however)

Have traveled to play on Jekyll for the past 30 years! Indian Mound is my favorite of the 3 courses. You can’t beat the peacefulness of playing on Indian Mound… no houses and surrounded by wildlife! I do however have one major grip from my recent visit….THEY ARE NOT Maintaining the Sand Traps as they once did! Lots of Grass growing in many of them. Clubhouse staff used lack of help and wet weather as the excuse however much of theses grasses were at least 2 months old so rain is no excuse! Disappointing that nobody there seems to care enough to solve this issue!

Course was under a lot of water. Probably weren’t allowed to maintain it for the last week due to the rain

Wet

Course was wet from start to finish, cart path only (but no warning from golf shop staff before teeing off). Fairways were unkept, bunkers full of water, greens bumpy and slow. Overall a miserable experience. Last rain was on Sunday, not sure how it was so wet. I think what really bothered me the most was the course was cart path only but pro shop staff didn't say a word about course conditions. Only saving grace was the discount from Golf now but it should have been about a $25 round, glad I didn't pay full price.

Great Course

Great course! Rained in the morning and was still decent. Fun challenging holes and deer on most of them!

If Only The Back Nine Rivaled the Front

The layout of the entire course was outstanding with generous landing areas and fair sized greens. Unlike the front nine which was in near perfect conditions despite the rain shower prior to our round, the back nine was a tad unkempt. Noticeably more weeds, worn and unmowed greens on the back made it difficult to make putts.

Back To Jekyll

Exactly what you want in a course away from home. Good conditions, facilities and overall value for money. I played at 2pm and finished in 3 hours, I saw very few other players and never had to wait. I will be back.

Indian mound at Jekyll island

Biggest complaint is the layout. Almost every hole is the same typical thing you’d expect. Not a lot of uniqueness to this course. Lots of straight away par 4’s. There’s one unique par 4 that introduces a short lay up or long water carry. But other than that the holes are very straight forward. Well worth the hot deal though. Only had to pay $35 and there was no one in front or me. Was able to play however I wanted.

this course needs to have the just off fairway mowed

just off fairway grass 8 inch high to 24 inch high

hire someone to clean limbs and branches off ground

the first golf course I ever seen that did not mow around

the base of the trees grass was 24 inch high

Super Nice feel

This course had an appealing layout. Greens were in great shape. Pins were placed in challenging spots which made putting all the more fun. Wasn’t packed at all. Abundant wildlife. I enjoyed the wildlife as much as the course, if not more.

Will definitely play this course again!

Many Opportunities!

The staff, course layout, & surroundings were Amazing! But the course conditions for a property maintained by the state was not up to par. This could be an amazing golf destination, but it needs closer attention to the grounds!
