Jekyll Island

As someone who used to play the USKG event, it's great to see Pine Lakes still hosting tournaments and in good condition! The variety from one hole to the next is refreshing for coastal golf. Greens coming together nicely. Good job Jekyll!

Course was in good shape. It was slow going. It took 3 hours to play 9 holes.

You've got a chance to play every club in your bag

.I truly enjoyed playing this course. A golf course that was on my bucket list. If you get a chance play

Great value. Course on very good shape

Bunkers are consistent with quality sand. Green are fast and true..Layout has variety with left and right sockets and reachable 5 fives if you hit a quality tee shot.s.

Great course. Winter conditions a bit tough. Fairways are cut really short in winter. Greens smoking fast but in good shape. Long par 4’s but doable and alot of fun.

The course is a classic layout and truly beautiful. Even with brown, dormant grass it was inviting and interesting. Unfortunately the greens and the areas immediately around them were not as inviting. The areas surrounding the greens were soft, almost muddy, and in need of work. This was surprising, as there has been less than normal rainfall of late. The greens themselves were very slow and bumpy, with a lot of bare spots covered with green dye and fertilizer. The chances of a putt rolling straight and true were slim. It was frustrating and took a bit of fun out of the round..

This course is in very rough shape. While the greens were decent, the fairways and tee boxes are awful, very rough and bare in many areas. The areas between holes look like a construction zone. No monitoring of pace of play. We had a 5 hr round, waited on every hole. Course has a long way to go.

Not worth your time or money IMO.

Course is pretty wide open but lots of bunkers protecting greens and strategically placed in fairways. Conditions were very good and staff was friendly. Decent value for the money and would come back next time we’re in the area.

It cost ~$140 to play here so I expected it to be great quality. The greens were very lumpy and fairways have tons of bald spots in them. There are local courses in better condition for that price

Phenomenal restoration/renovation of the old Walter Travis Great Dunes course. Knowing the background of the project and the club, this was long over due. The routing and shaping of the course is amazing, exciting, different, exhilarating, thought provoking, and down right gorgeous. Being able to play something like this so close to the ocean for this price is a model that can easily be duplicated in every beach side town. The fact that people have the audacity to say anything negative about this course means they either have no concept of golf course design (which is an almost certainty) or that they have no concept of golf course maintenance (this seems to be the most common offense among recreational golfers) which points them to say things like, "the greens are too big and undulated", "the cart paths and tees are hard to see", "the old course was good enough", "the winter months and nonstop play during the season when grass can't grow makes the course look ugly so I don't think anyone should come here". Be gone. Don't come back. Leave this course to those who will genuinely appreciate it and return to your run of the mill, boring cookie cutter golf courses that leave nothing to the imagination and look like they were designed by a road grader.

The Great Dunes is for those who love golf. All others be gone.

One of my favorite course designs of all time! Also by far my new favorite semi-public course to play when i am on the coast. There are some areas in some fairways/greens that need to grow in, but by this spring/summer '26 i am sure it will be in PRIMO shape. Was really a treat!

Why sell 2 PM tee times and rush folks to finish by 5. Course is 126 per person is a joke. It’s new so I’ll give it a few more rounds. Until it’s matured play Pine Lakes!!
