This was my 2nd Jekyll

Will be back to play the Pines next and combo it with the Dunes. Everything was as I anticipated a beautiful somewhat challenging course amongst the trees. You would not know there was civilization around you. If you are looking for serenity and a great day out this is the place to go

Great course

Overall great course. Greens were a little hard this early in the year but were still good for putting. Presents a fun challenge and great views.

bad greens

Course layout is nice but green conditions are bad. Pace of play is slow. Starter sent me off back 9 as i was a single and moved right around only to find 20 players lined up on one. I was offered to play out on Oleander but after 13 holes came to a stop ( got some extra golf but was not my goal). So i headed back over to finish my round on Indian. After 6 holes guess who? the large group i found on one.

Great outdoor escape

Wonderful scenery and excellent weather on this day. Beware of the wildlife - gators, snakes, turtle, and deer observed on this golf outing. Course is in good shape.

Pace of Play Was Unbearable

Although this was a nice enough course, I wouldn't return unless I was assured that they got a ranger on this part of the course. Oleander is adjacent to Pine Lakes and The Mounds, and I believe they might have rangers. We had such a slow foursome about 3 groups ahead of us that there were 3 empty holes by the time we reached hole #10. We gave up after 13 or 14 holes and went to the clubhouse in disgust.

Nice

Staff could care less about you, no personality at all. HOWEVER, the course was in good shape, nice lay out and we "owned" it on a Thursday, no-one in front or behind us. We took our time, took plenty of pics of all the gators and scenery. for $16-25 I'd say its a great deal.

good course but greens in poor shape

staff cut greens way too short for college tournament earlier in March and most are left dry/burnt with little to no grass and lot of sand on them. Will take a while to get this course back to decent shape. Most greenskeepers are moving towards bragging about fast greens and this new guy is a perfect example of what can happen when he trips over his own enthusiasm..Let the grass grow !!

The condition of this course is a shame

This is a Donald Ross design updated by Dick Wilson. I didn't realize until I started that I had played there before. The previous round, several years ago, was much more enjoyable. The starter didn't know or seem to care what pin position they were using that day. The fairways were extremely thin, with what appeared to be some sort of top-dressing that made good lies rare. The greens weren't too bad, where there was grass. It seemed to me like they just didn't care.

Jekyll Island Pine Lakes

Great price point for this course. Even though the weather was cooler and wetter than normal, the course was in good shape and well maintained. Aesthetically, the Jekyll courses are all beautiful.
