Jekyll Island

Played Great Dunes yesterday. Price is way too high for what you are getting. Was a fun layout and staff was friendly, however pace of play was abysmal. 3 hours and 40 minutes into the round we only had gotten through 14 holes. We decided to leave early and call it today. Talked to multiple people in the parking lot who left early and also agreed the pace of play was terrible. Besides that, it’s a fine course but definitely not worth the price. Until that is fixed I probably would not go back.

I traveled down from Cleveland to see my son and play some golf. We decided to play Pine Lakes because we’ve played it in the past. Course was great but pace of play was EXTREMELY slow. We’ve had this issue before but thought it may have improved and it definitely didn’t help Indian Mound was closed until October. I would more than likely play it again but expect a 5 hour round at the minimum.

This course is challenging but playable, and is a great way to spend an afternoon

Course was in great shape. Hey so play was really good we had a twosome and got paired with two others. It's hot and humid which is to be expected for the area. Plenty of wildlife including deer on nearly every hole Bring some bug spray for the gnats.

I played with three others we all were strangers but great people. We stopped play at 11th hole because sitting for too long waiting for groups ahead. No ranger we could see to try and move pace and between bats and heat we all said it’s not worth it and left! Terrible experience!

So I’ve played the Pine Lakes course quite a bit and I’ve been watching great dunes grow in as it’s just been rebuilt.

Greens are a little bit slow. If you get the ball online, it goes where you aim, tea boxes are hard as a rock so make sure you bring solid, sharp golf tees. Now the fairways, which were a little rough coming out of the winter are starting to really grow in nice. I would say definitely pay attention to yardages since the greens seem to be very bouncy and you definitely need to control the flight of your ball.

Can’t wait to go back in a few weeks

This was a fun course for myself, wife and two kids to play. The starter was very knowledgeable and kind even though we had kids! The course is in good condition for newly opening. There are still some places that need care but overall it didn’t seem to affect play. The carts were a little annoying as they shut off when you got off the cart path in places but you also can’t always tell where you are supposed to be on the path! The cart paths are sand. I would play again and we got a deal on playing in the afternoon.

Overall, it's a nice course, well-maintained, but nowhere to get out of the heat when turning around.

Beautiful course but needs work. There are 3 courses on site and two have been upgraded. We were told Indian Mound will be next. Still very playable but some greens and fairways need work.

The course was in excellent condition given the rains we had over the previous 3 days. The fairways were firm and there were no holes that were designated cart path only. Perfect weather and paired with a great twosome making the experience memorable. One of the best values in the southeast Georgia region.

Indian Mound may look inviting, but I implore you to save your money. The conditions on this course would barely be passable if it were a municipal course charging $30 for 18 and a cart. Unfortunately, at more than double the cost, it’s a total waste. The greens are largely unattended, with even some of them having weeds growing on them. The fairways are extensions of the rough, just cut lower. In some cases, they are littered with bits of dirt that render your ball a muddy mess. The tee boxes are similarly overgrown; a feature you’ll have plenty of time to notice because the pace of play on this course is consistently horrid. I’ve played 3 times (shame on me) and it’s not uncommon to be waiting on the tee boxes and fairways of every hole. I’ve seen 4-5 groups on par 5s on multiple occasions. As if the on-course experience wasn’t bad enough, the halfway house also leaves much to be desired. It functions primarily as a restaurant, with a menu and prices to reflect it. I ordered a hot dog, and received a lukewarm, foil-wrapped dog to the tune of $15. I’ve played hundreds of rounds of golf, and can honestly say I’ve never heard of a hotdog that expensive. If you enjoy paying nearly $100 for chewed up fairways, 5 hour rounds, and sweaty pork products, please play here. Otherwise, cough up an extra $15 and play somewhere else. You’ll thank me later

Incredible value for a seaside golf course. New layout very good miss the back 9 of old Oleander. They kept all of the old Great Dunes and made it better
