Poor condition
It's a well-designed golf course but the greens are pathetic and I don't understand how people could give such good reviews!
Feb 2024-avoid this course
I’m a scratch golfer and I golf often. The Jekyl staff was the Rudest staff I have ever encountered. Miserable people!! Quoted a price on the phone then denied that price and added $30 extra. Would not match the price on this app. Completely unfriendly. Explains why the course was so empty on a Friday beautiful day. Pace of play was great 👍
Now the course. I have played here a few times a year for many years. Love the island but would not come here for the golfing alone. Right now 1 of the three courses is closed for much needed renovation. The entire course is Smokey from underbrush cleanup. Conditions are super wet as this course has never drained very well. Never play it after a rainy day. Bugs are really bad, course is not allowed to use any chemicals for pest treatment other than fire (I asked). The greens are the worst I have played on in years. Looks like Poi Ana clumps of grass have taken over. Putts impossible to make. Just a horrible over priced disaster. Was planning another foursome today but decided leave the island to play somewhere else.
Oleander holds up for February golf!
Greens were true and fast. Grass not really growing in just yet. Layout is really challenging as they had at least 4 sets of tees. The carts have gps and pin locations are given out at tee starter tee box. Fairway's and rough were full of mostly dormant grass but it works. Pro shop is stocked with great merch. Also had a discount rack. Staff is very helpful. Gators are on course near water so be careful!
Worst greens ever
Played it today. Greens were literally the worst I’ve ever played on and I’ve played at least 100 courses. Don’t know if it’s poor leadership, lack of money, moronic greens keeper, or some combination thereof, but they’re AWFUL. Pretty course, great amenities, but greens are terrible. Did i mention the greens? Cost me 70$. Was worth about 25.
Muddy
Many holes are very muddy especially on back nine.
OLeander course
Cours was very wet,green's were not in great condition,my first time there,wasn't really impressed, but was a decent price.
Great for High Handicap
Nicely laid out pretty flat not a lot of water but there is some soft marshy areas in or near the fairways. Greens are extremely fast some areas are scalped with some weeds but overall the greens are in pretty good shape. No drinking water, ball cleaners or trash cans on the golf course.
Good play
Of course was a little wet, but all in all, it was in good shape. Nice layout I'll be back
Condition Dependent
Oleander is a good course, but I wouldn’t go again unless it’s been at least a week since the last rain. The course is below sea level so you’ll find water in the fairways, traps and mainly on the cart path. Slows pace of play way down and takes away from the quality of play.
With normal conditions all the courses on Jekyll are a good value for the casual player, would recommend.
Beautiful Golf Experience
Upon arrival the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had one of the first tee times of the day and we saw the group in-front/ behind us once during the round. Pace of play was fantastic. The course was in fantastic shape. Best I have played in 2023. Minimal of any divots in the tee boxes and clean and clear greens. Very well groomed golf course. $59 was a steal for this course! Golf carts with GPS are very nice and clean. Perfect day on the course!
Greens
Overall the course is in ovoid condition. But the greens are infiltrated with a weed or some other grass that needs to be quickly addressed or they may lose some greens altogether.
New Jersey Golfer
Overall course was in good condition. Tee boxes and fairways were I great shape. Greens has a few bare spots and some diseased area. I would recommend play
