A very good time
My brother-in-law and his wife were in town for a few days to golf. We live in Statesboro Ga and were unsure of traveling so far to Jekyll Island. We were not disappointed. The condition of the course was very good. The fairways were lush and well to play on. Greens were in good condition and large enough for average players. Fairways were wide and easy to play. Making plans already to return and spend more time on the island and this course. Would recommend to anybody.
Nice Course To Play
Friendly staff, good deal. Short course with wildlife all around you, very cool. Fairways in really nice conditions. Greens were small, slow, and rough, could use some work. Overall a nice round of golf worth playing.
Excellent course!
All three course at Jekyll islands are excellent I love playing there.
Resort Course
The course is excellent resort golfing. It has holes that are both tight and open. Ball placement is key. The Par 3s are distant. You have 3 that requires a shot over water. The wildlife are not bothered by golfers.
NICE ROUND OF GOLF
Course was in good shape, but a little wet. Ate at McCormick's Grill at the turn. Great food for lunch. Saw about 10 small white-tail deer on the course. Almost hit one:(
Golf
Great course. It was kinda busy because they where running a tournament, but it went well.
The course I always play at this historic getaway location
There are three 18 hole courses at this location, and all are in good shape with different challenges.
Beautiful scenic setting
The Course is always in great shape. With it being on the island and isolated from alot of traffic and people you will see wildlife on most of the holes. We saw several deer and several alligators. The area is so serine and peaceful. The course was lush and green. We played on a Saturday morning a little after 9:00 and we finished right at 4 hours. The course was full however everyone played fairly fast.
The course is definitely worth the drive.
Pinelakes
Nice course and a great day to play. The course is very Picturesque with a lot of abundant wildlife especially deer and alligators.
Mishit drives are a significant problems as the growth outside the rough is impossible.
A Great Day of Golf
My wife and I plus our adult daughter played on Sunday, our daughter's last round before flying home. We had a wonderful day at Jekyll. The courses are in great shape this year and the weather was bright and sunny (albeit somewhat chilly when not sheltered from a fairly strong NE wind). Pace of play was excellent but we still had time to enjoy the sights: alligators, turtles, birds, deer etc. We finished the day with a glass of wine in the sun on the deck of the Jekyll Island Club hotel (about a mile away but worth the visit). Overall, a superb day of golf!
Nice course.
Great place to play. Good grasses and greens. A joy to play.
wind swept
The course was challenging because of the wind and soft fairways .
Great conditions; Enjoyable round
Shop Assistant suggested that Pine Lakes was in the best condition of the three courses. It set a high bar! Fairways and greens were very nice, coming out of the winter months. Tees and bunkers were good. We were out early, so pace was fine. (Could have used a little bug spray for early hour.) Really enjoyed the round, and would definitely return to this one, and to try the other two.
Nice course, poorly marked, terrible communicatios
I played as a single with the first tee time of the day. Upon making the turn (in an hour) I found that the starter had put a tournament on the back nine. I was forced to move over to an adjacent course to finish my round and ended up playing behind a group of five.
I understand it is "resort golf" but a little communication would have gone a long way to insure good customer relations.
In addition, courses are very poorly marked. Make sure to take your range finder.
Great golf
Loved the course! Not only was it good golf, but the course is laid out for golf, not selling real estate. No houses or condos lining the fairways, no back on forth fairways. Just one beautiful hole followed by another.
Being able to walk, not being forced to ride a cart was an added bonus.
Worth the short drive!
The course was fabulous and in great condition. Although busy, we were not delayed once. Great staff. Fabulous wildlife including a massive alligator! What a treat to see!
enjoyable
very playable and fair course.bunker placement made the approach shot a challenge.
Pine Lakes - Jeckyll Island
Great value for the money. Course is in excellent shape. A quiet, serene setting among the Georgian pines. Lots of wildlife with deer on frequent holes
This course is very nice to play
Enjoyed playing the course. I have played all three eighteen hole courses. my favorite is The Pines next Indian Mound and Oleander.
Great location and cannot wait to go back
Best of Jekyll
The most challenging of the 3 courses. Scenery is special. Because of the recent cold course is a bit thin but still very playable. It is the wettest of the 3 so many time cart usage is restricted. If there has been rain plan on playing another course.Enjoy
