Terrific course, needs a haircut

Lovely course with plenty of nature. The grass just off the fairways was too long, struggled to find balls at times.

The course

Love the layout play from the white tees. The only thing I got rained out after the 10th hole. I hope to finish before I go back home but the staff said the rain out pass was good for a year. The staff was GREAT!!!!!!

Nice track, poor condition

This course would have been very nice had the conditions been better. The greens were very fuzzy, causing them to be slow. A couple holes had severe damage to the greens. Most tee boxes were un mown, which isn't a huge deal, but it isn't how it is supposed to be. There was no one playing on Memorial Day, so we flew around without hitch, which made the course more enjoyable. Jekyll Island is a gorgeous place and they have a gold mine if they put more money towards the conditioning the courses. Overall, it's not bad golf for $20 bucks. I wouldn't pay much more for it.

Getting Better...

Played this course (Oleander) for the first time in 5 years. I usually play the other two JI courses because they are in better shape. Oleander had become tired and seemed to be the less manicured and cared for. It was a soggy mess even on days when it hadn't rained recently.

I was pleasantly surprised that the conditions were very good. Greens a bit worn but very playable. Layout is very challenging from the blue tees. Some long par 4s and 3s. Par 5s can be reachable. Good track and I hope they keep it maintained. Fun to play.

Indian Mound

Course is challenging but not difficult if you stay out of the rough and the woods. Fairway condition was a bit above average. About half the greens had dirt spots and seemed to be dead or dying in places.

Great layout

This was the second time in 3 weeks that my fiancé and I drove 1.5 hours to golf Jekyll Island. Staff is super friendly and courses are in great condition. There were a few greens that need some work but it didn't affect the way they played. No over crowding or waiting for groups in front of us. We played Indian Mound this visit and the Pine Lakes the last. Will definitely be back again for a great round of golf.

This was my 2nd Jekyll

Will be back to play the Pines next and combo it with the Dunes. Everything was as I anticipated a beautiful somewhat challenging course amongst the trees. You would not know there was civilization around you. If you are looking for serenity and a great day out this is the place to go

bad greens

Course layout is nice but green conditions are bad. Pace of play is slow. Starter sent me off back 9 as i was a single and moved right around only to find 20 players lined up on one. I was offered to play out on Oleander but after 13 holes came to a stop ( got some extra golf but was not my goal). So i headed back over to finish my round on Indian. After 6 holes guess who? the large group i found on one.

Great outdoor escape

Wonderful scenery and excellent weather on this day. Beware of the wildlife - gators, snakes, turtle, and deer observed on this golf outing. Course is in good shape.

Pace of Play Was Unbearable

Although this was a nice enough course, I wouldn't return unless I was assured that they got a ranger on this part of the course. Oleander is adjacent to Pine Lakes and The Mounds, and I believe they might have rangers. We had such a slow foursome about 3 groups ahead of us that there were 3 empty holes by the time we reached hole #10. We gave up after 13 or 14 holes and went to the clubhouse in disgust.
