Jekyll Island

I was very disappointed in the condition of course. The greens were in bad shape. Course could use some work. Tee boxes also need work. The only good thing The price was right. You get what you pay for. The staff was very nice. Hopefully the grounds keepers will get their act together!

A great job on the restoration of the original front nine of Oleander and the old nine hole great dunes. The greens have such character with lots of undulation and size. I thought we’re in great shape for being so new. Some fairways are a little bare in spots but I have confidence that in time will be fully filled in. It is a completely new golf course, different angles from new tee boxes, and the location of some greens especially the original front for Oleander . I could not be more pleased with how it turned out.

I was among the first golfers to play all 18 holes of the newly expanded Great Dunes. Although it still needs time to grow in, the routing laid out to honor original architect Walter Travis couldn't be more fun or interesting. Architects Jeff Stein and Brian Ross took away forested land from nine holes of the former Oleander Course (which is now closed) to tie everything together. The sandy look of the original Great Dunes holes pairs so well with the new holes designed through the trees and around several marshy water hazards. The approach shot between the two massive dunes guarding the par-5 fourth green will always be the signature shot. The ocean views from that green and the par-3 fifth tee are great for a course that's so affordable. It's a thrilling coastal journey from start to finish.

Pine Lakes is looking great after a multi-million-dollar renovation by Clyde Johnston completed last year. It was in great condition and the course continues to be a wonderful golf bargain in a sublime natural setting. Golfers will see all sorts of gators, birds, deer and other wildlife. The routing is a bit straight forward with few risk-reward moments. It's just solid golf, nothing too fancy about it. The back nine does toss in a few doglegs to make things more interesting. Two different ponds come into play on the left of the par-4 ninth and the right side of the brutal par-4 18th to keep players honest.

Bare/dirt spots in the fairways and greens. Bumpy poa annua and bare spots on greens which are so small the greenside bunkers are no longer greenside. Some fairways/rough were cut but the debris remained as in the picture. Apparently they spend more time on the other courses as the conditions here have declined.

The course was in fantastic condition, enjoyed the round. We play there again !

Pine Lakes Course was in great condition. The greens and fairways were well maintained and looked like artificial turf. We saw wildlife on every hole, There were deer everywhere, birds of all types, raccoons, gators, we saw an Osprey fishing in one of the ponds. It was a very enjoyable experience.

Paid $75 to play Pine Lakes…good layout (not great). Greens rolled about 9, but in very good shape. Played as a twosome in 3 hours (awesome time of year - August 14). Average driving range.

Pine lakes was a very nice golf course. Lies were excellent and there are some challenging holes with water and shape. Greens were in great shape without crazy amounts of break and speed. A great course to play on and score low if you are a seasoned player. Immediately raved to family about the place. Two other tracks were under renovation, but from what I could see I will be returning to play. If playing in august bring plenty of water.

I was desperate to play Friday and checked out tee times in the app. Indian Mound sounded reasonable in terms of price and tee time. Showed up and when I got to the putting green I noticed it was in poor condition. And it was probably the best green I saw. I was in the first group, so we played fast, and the lay out is nice. It would be worth it after the redo the greens. Supposedly gonna do that when the new course opens. Won’t come back until they fix the issue and that won’t be for more than a year. They could lower the green fees from $75 but they haven’t.

The greens on this course are terrible. Perhaps the worst I've ever played. One of their other courses is being renovated and another recently so. I have to assume this one is on the list. Just know coming in what to expect or ask when you make your reservations.

Greens were atrocious. Dead spots and weeds everywhere. Course layout is nice, fairways are in good shape and wild life is plentiful. Hard to play competitive golf with greens that bad. Probably worth $30-$40/round for beach golf, not 75

overall the course was in very good shape, except the greens which is why i give a 4/5 rating.

the greens were bermuda (i think) and they had weeds all over them. there is another course that is part of the jekyll island courses and even uses the same starting shed and you could see their greens and they didnt have the same weeds in their greens, it was like putting after an areation every hole. you would think the greens are on the same spray schedule but maybe since the other course is a little bit more money they can do more for those greens.

also bring bug spray bc the biting flies on jeykll are no joke

The course was in the worst shape of any course I’ve ever played. I believe that due to the new construction of great dunes as well as the renovation in 2022 of Pine Lakes, which is fantastic. I love that course. They have completely neglected Indian amount. Would never play it again.

Had a nice time with a buddy on a hot Sunday afternoon. Pro shop staff was nice but NO ICE for the carts was a little disappointing.

Fairways were in good shape, tee boxes could use a refresher for sure, but the greens were in terrible shape. Many greens had a weed invasion that was simply cut down but not remediated appropriately. Result was choppy greens that made realistic (normal) putting impossible. I won’t play that course again until I know the greens have been replaced.
