Delightful day

Nothing to not like about this course/facility. Very relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff. Course interesting and in good shape save for one gnarly green and some bare spots. Driving range and putting greens also in good condition especially for a very busy place. Can't wait to play the other two courses at same locale. Be back soon!

Good options

When on Jeykll Island you have three 18 hole courses to pick from. All a very good courses. At this time of year bring lots of bug spray. There was a junior tournament taking up 2 of the courses so the other was packed and slow. Playing during the week is always faster.

A Nice Track

This was the first time playing Indian Mound. The course was in good shape and it was nice to play a course that had no houses to compete with the beauty of the nature. The course is a traditional parkland design, all right there in front of you. The only negatives were that several groups started on number 10 as we made the turn, making the back nine slow. Then, after finishing, the kitchen had closed at four o'clock, leaving us hungry and disappointed. My wife had stopped after nine and enjoyed a nice grilled fish sandwich. So, when they're open, the food is good.

Great practice facility

This course was in excellent shape. I was paired with another single which turned out to be a great round of golf. The fairways and greens were in excellent shape. Some of the bunkers were sketchy due to recent rain, but other than that it was an excellent course to play.

One of the most picturesque courses played.

This was the second time I played Pine Lakes. Joined up with a couple so we were a threesome. The play seemed slow, we had small waits on every hole but still played it in 4:15.

What happened is that we had the time to really look around at each hole and enjoy the scenery. Hole after hole had just enough change to see something new. Just all around beautiful picturesque scenes
that made the day enjoyable just to be outside with the golf the icing on the cake..

Last of the three

Oleander was in the poorest condition of the three courses. But still worth playing. Pine Lakes is in the best condition with even the fairways being over seeded. Indian Mounds had the greens and aprons over seeded. Indian Mounds had the most water. All in all, any of the three are good courses to play. Gators and deer add to the enjoyment. Play can be slow at times because of so many high school and college tournaments. Played in March, bermuda grass hadn't started growing yet. Staff very nice.

It had poured the day before and with cart-path only the course was still playable. I was the first one out but ran into two groups on the back 9.

course needs to be closed

This course is in terrible shape. The fairways are thin and it always is wet. Expect Carts On Path only any time you play. The greens were ok but not good. This course needs to be closed and worked on for about a year. It is too bad because the layout is very good. It just needs an incredible amount of work in drainage and fairway reseeding. They continue to push people on the course which is just making it worse. Again with the right amount of work this could be a very good course.

Cart Path Only

Cart Path only, even though the weather was in 70's for 2 days. Fairways and Greens in poor condition. If I had paid 45.00, plus island toll booth $6.00 to play without golfnow discount I would have been furious. Will not be going back.

Well Managed

We've played the courses at Jekyl Island a number of times and have been satisfied. Weather was perfect, courses were crowded, but we got around in about 4:15. Got paired with another 2some and we had and enjoyable round. The Pine Lakes course is a bit boring, but the course was in good shape, and we were there for the weather.

indien mounds in the sun

Had a great time playing the course, for the mid-winter conditions, the course was in excellent shape, the greens were as close cut as a billiard table and the ball rolled right on the line I picked. will be back again soon, and the value after noon for 28.00 was extremely good.

Very good value

I have played this course three times to date. Each time staff was very friendly and helpful. This is a large well organized golf complex. Range balls are pretty beat up. Condition was pretty good considering this is winter and after a recent cold snap. Greens are in very good shape and pretty quick.
