Great Layout but Poor Condition

We got a great deal through Golf Now but was
Disappointed in the course condition. Lots of crab Grass and some bare spots.
But the thing that I found utterly amazing was there was NOT a single ball washer or trash can on any hole. One of the grounds crew drove by and I asked him about it and he told me no one had took the time to set them out after Covid!
I will however praise the course layout, as it has the widest fairways I have ever encountered on any golf course in my life!!
I would like to see this course be in better condition as it has so Much Potential!!

Comfortable conditions, but very straight, not very interesting

Indian mound is a fairly straight forward playing course. Greens were extremely slow, and course conditions were typical for the summer weather. We felt that the employees were welcoming and professional. Overall, an average course, not challenging, and very straight

Greens matter

Cup edges are scraggly and clearly haven’t been moved in over a week. They apparently get water if & when it rains and that’s it. Give us better conditions with greenkeeping staff and we’ll fill the tee sheets and pay more for that value. No real effort seems to be made.

Nice recreation area course

This was my first time playing this course. Opted to play 9 holes due to limited time. The pro shop is well equip. The people are pleasant and helpful. Check-in straightforward. Queued up at the first tee and found a 5-some group in front of us. The starter told them to break into 3 and 2. Later on they returned to being a 5-some. However, they did let us play through. Primarily visitors and tourists at this course who are visiting the island. The course condition and layout is good. The greens were in good condition. I enjoyed playing the course that I'd like to return some time to play a full round. We had a good round and overall experience.

Seen better days

I’ve played all three 18 hole courses at Jekyll Island over the last forty years multiple times. This complex of public courses used to be a bargain but my return to play Indian Mounds this year was a disappointment to say the least. The corse layout is interesting enough but the course conditions were unacceptable. Mid June should be the time of year when the course is in top shape but instead we found bare patches on tees & fairways & the putting greens were like
Corduroy. I didn’t ask staff if the greens had recently been aerated or had other work done on them but in any case the greens were close to being unputtable. The worst lack of maintenance however were the conditions of the bunkers. Now to be fair, they had a significant amount of rain over the previous days but the compacted sand conditions that we encountered were not due to that, they were mostly like concrete. After being in a couple traps, I even stopped trying to rake out my footsteps since they left almost no indentions in the compacted sand to begin with & to get the tines of the rake to penetrate into the sand was more work than it was worth. All of the bunkers need a deep rototlling for a start to recover them, totally unacceptable. I won’t be back until management gets their act together.

Nice layout

Nice course layout with challenging holes and greens on the small side. My only complaint was that all the flags were red so you had no idea the depth of the pin and gps in the cart was not all that accurate.
