Jekyll Island

This course appeared under my reservations while we were playing Sanctuary. I never booked it and my cc was charged.

Loved the course. Would definitely play on again and again

Indian Mounds is in really good condition at this time. Greens are nicely maintained and putt true with subtle breaks. Fairways have nice grass where the golf balls set nice. Stay out of the traps if possible! Very soft sand with egg lies. Close your sand wedge and hope for the best with roll. Best value for the dollar at this time in the Golden Isles and in super condition. Great twosome!

Facility is under construction with complete renovation of adjoining Oleander/Historic 9 hole Jekyll Island course compilation. The smell of burning brush was evident. This course was newly renovated and the fairways and surrounds have not yet grown in. Any green missed means chipping or pitching off hardpan or dirt or sandy grung with wispy native grass. . . yuck. So, your answer comes back, ‘don’t miss so many greens.’ The problem is the greens are too firm to hold anything more than a 9 iron coming in. They just need some more time and irrigation to soften a bit. Like maybe a year. My advice is to play a bump and run although with the sandy surroundis, that too will be a game of chance.

Slowly inch by inch lot of greens are getting smaller because they are not cutting to the original edge and over time the greens are getting smaller. Don’t know if this is on purpose as a maintenance money saver .

Also not one ball washer on the course. What a shame. They have them in storage but again too lazy to put at least one every three or four holes.

Also another glaring issue is they removed all trash/ litter

containers from the course so now you’ll see more garbage throughout your round. Just another example of laziness and neglect on behalf of the course superintendent. Cutting corners while increasing the green fees. Jekyll Island prides itself in being a pristine and natural environment so return the littler containers

The greens are all new and now perfect and quick. Sand traps have new loose sand. Fairways and tee boxes are in winter considtions (1.!6.25) but should be nice come spring. Does not appear that any changes were made to green size or slopes, fairway dimensions or undulations or trap sizes or depth. My concern is that the historic under funding of the maintenance for the course will continue. That would be unfortunate.
