Nostalgic

Hadn’t played here since before the Pandemic & it brought back memories. It was in great shape and the greens were nearly perfect!

Course is not appropriate for play

Greens are horrible. I failed to look at reviews prior to booking and showing up. What mistake. Greens are not playable. Weeds all through greens.

How could the employees not mention to costumers that booked this course?. Worst greens I have ever played.

Looked at other course on the site while playing. They were playable. Next day I went to a different area to play because my respect for the workers at the facility is disappointing for not pointing out the conditions.

Horrible Greens

This course should not be open for public play at this time. The greens are horrible. I can’t believe nobody mentioned how bad it was in the clubhouse.

Pine lakes

Played pine lakes. Was in good shape. Some fairways a bit thin. Very very hot day and little water on course Overall, the re-do of pine lakes was nice. Pretty good shape, some bunkers were hard though.

Very Neglected

I haven't played this course in quite some time. The greens and bunkers were in very poor condition. It seems like Indian Mound has been neglected with the recent renovations to Pine Lakes and the revamp underway with Oleander. I hope they show some love to this course soon. It was not worth the price I paid to play it in its current state

Play pine lakes instead

This course is in terrible shape. The greens are horrible for the money not even close to worth it. Just play Pine Lakes if you’re in Jekyll Island.

Some of the worst greens I've seen

Greens are REALLY bad.... most had dead spots everywhere. They positioned the holes away from them, but still had to putt over the bad parts some times....

Coming along

First time playing since the refurbishment. It's coming along nicely. Fairways were in great condition and tee boxes looked amazing. Greens were firm and the grass on the collars were dry and thin. Probably just needs time and water. As long as they keep it up and maintain it, this is a great course. I got a hot deal for around $60 and used some coupons to make it cheaper which made it a great deal for the area. The rack rate of $90+ is probably not worth it.

Severely downgraded

Have golfed here at Jekyll island many times over the years and on all the courses available. This year Indian Mounds is in very bad shape. Overall the fairways are ok however the traps are not maintained and the greens are horrendous. Frankly, they should pay us to play there.

Needing lots of work.

Too SLOW

I was a single player with a T-time. I joined the twosome behind me on hole number three. We later teamed up with one player in a group of three in front of me. The other two players in that group were so frustrated with the pace of play and they quit after nine holes. Even after calling the clubhouse and a marshal coming out, it was no help. We had a total of 4 players combined from three different t-time groups and it took 5 hours and 20 minutes to play 17 holes. A storm came and we didn’t get to play number 18. That is insane. Managing the pace of play and putting too many golfers on the course is irresponsible and inconsiderate. I won’t go back.
