Course in horrible shape

The fairways were a mess and muddy. Green were full of divots;....is there a new rule about not having to fix divots during Covid-19??????? No rakes for traps. Was very displeased with the shape this course is in!

Nice weather

The fairways were absolutely soaking wet. The greens didn’t look great, but were fast & very true. My problem was with the price of the green fee. We payed $58 & that was supposed to be a hot deal, plus the price of range balls & the Jekyll toll fee, makes in a expensive day.

First time on Jekyll Island

Tee boxes were in terrible shape. Cart attempted to shut down and tell me I was not on the cart path when on it the whole time. Guess I expected more from a resort island course. When you pay 56 dollars a person to play golf, 8 dollars to get on the island and are told it is the most challenging course I guess I just expected more.

Fun but far from impressive

The staff could honestly care less if golfers show up or not. Seemed more interested in ESPN replays than assisting customers. Carts are very nice and cart paths are excellent. The course itself was in decent shape, but not what they should be. The greens are okay. The weather was perfect and the Live Oaks are always beautiful.
