Jekyll Island

played this course five times this year and this was the best condition i've played it.

me and a friend drove up from Jacksonville ( little over an hour )
and it was well worth it. One of the best courses I've ever played. No such thing as a bad lie. The whole course was in excellent condition. In fact the greens rolled so much more true than what I'm used to that it was tough to make a putt. Overall a very nice experience and I will be playing there again !!

Course played long today due to swirling winds. Often played two club wind into greens. Greens over seeded and in good condition. All bunkers needed attention.

This course provides playability for all golfers, from ladies, seniors, and all level of golfers abilities.

The course will test your patience on one hole and then have you pulling out your camera on the next. Lots of fun. A definite challenge. When I played it was a little soggy but no matter. The one and only thing I was disappointed with was the lack of a beverage / snack cart on a weekend.

WILL PLAY AGAIN. EVERYONE WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND ONE OF THE MOST SCENIC COURSES I HAVE PLAY.

Slow play with no marshalls speeding up the other group. The greens were very slow. I do not understand since it was the only course on the island that was opened. Cut the greens and roll them, before you work on the other courses. Very disappointed the greens. Maybe a marshall to get the slower groups to move faster. We play here about twice a month, but if the greens do not get any better than I will stay with the other courses on st simons and Brunswick.

Fairways and greens were in great shape it was cart path only due to rain

A wonderful afternoon on a open player friendly course. There were 2 to 5 deer enjoying the fairway on almost every hole. Course is a great value in a beautiful quiet setting.

Indian Mound features a pleasant layout and good course conditions. Length from the blues was not generally a problem, and the course played well in comparatively dry conditions--the comparison being between Indian Mound in the afternoon and Oleander in the morning a couple of days later [it would not be a surprise to learn that Indian Mound was two to three feet higher in general than Oleander, but I couldn't swear to it]. Pay attention to your hydration levels--if there's not much traffic on the course, you may not see a beverage cart, and the front 9 did not appear to offer much by way of watering stations.

Oleander has more challenge than I was expecting, having played Indian Mound a couple of days before. Course conditions were as good as one could want, with smooth greens and lush fairways. Remember, you're about 10 feet above sea level, so here are some things to look out for if you're not used to it: 1) Not a whole lot of bounce and roll on your shots; 2) Needing to club up and MOVE UP. The course is not punishingly long, but don't feel like you have to play from the blues. Really. Don't. And don't be surprised to find that you might have to go up TWO clubs rather than one; and 3) The unavoidability of some marshy lies. They do a pretty good job overall, but something should be done about the tee box on #9.

Also, on the day I was there, our group got backed up on the back 9 because they were working a shotgun start or some kind of tournament into us. This added about a half hour or more to our pace of play and was frustrating. You might want to check with the course staff before you set your tee time, or at least before you tee off, and see if you should expect a similar experience. One gets the sense that group bookings and course regulars get preferential treatment. You'll either get lucky and avoid them, or you'll deal with it as a one-time annoyance.

Disappointing condition of course in general and greens in particular. Other reviewers had mentioned the slowness of the greens and having to hammer the ball. We thought it might be the heavy rains this summer and that they would be better now. But no, they are left long, and are simply dreadfully slow. The fairways too have long grass so the ball will not run and often nestles down. So disappointing. If not staying on Jekyll Island, remember to factor in the $6 cost of the entry toll.

Have been coming to Jekyll Island for many years and never tire of playing the golf courses. Pine Lakes is one of my favorites. Very accessible for all players with it's many tee boxes. Course was in wonderul condition. Has a great mix of difficult holes and fun par 3's. Easy course to walk.

Course is well maintained but bunkers need improvement. Many bunkers have little sand in them.

Played both Pine Lakes and Oleander courses. Airways great greens slow. Given about of rain here recently both courses in very good condition.

Lovely course in excellent condition! We finished in less than 3 hours since virtually no one was playing mid-day. Only trouble was with cart which failed to engage and move several times during our 18 holes. Deer were everywhere and many fawns were gazing at our play.

Flat layout with well placed bunkers and trees. Water comes into play often. Greens are flat mostly and grainy.

Found the course to be friendly even if you can't hit it straight off the tee. Wide fairways and groomed greens made the experience rewarding. Appreciated the lightning warning system especially this time of year. They tend to pop up rather fast so it was good to know someone was watching so I could concentrate on my game.

Had a great day of golf. We saw wildlife on almost every hole. The course was in great shape even though the area had received a lot of rain lately. The greens were very well maintained, and the bunkers had steep sharp sides. :) very nice course...I plan to return soon.

Course was in great shape after absorbing 8 inches of rain in 3 days. Although it was cart path only, pace of play was pretty good and the greens were good even with all the rain. Its the fourth time I've played at Jekyll Island and its never been more than 3 and 1/2 hours. Excellent value for a well maintained golf course.
