Please Work on the Greens

Play the Jekyll courses fairly often and really like the whole idea and the facilities and the beautiful settings and the challenging courses. However, why can't the greens ever be in good shape. I don't mean excellent shape I mean just get them to acceptable condition and it would be an improvement. Just cut them occasionally or roll them. Just do something because it detracts from what could be an outstanding experience insteadd of one that is frustrating.

Walked

Location, location, location (Hint... keep it in the FAIRWAY!)

2nd or 3rd time playing here while on vacation, and have always enjoyed the course. Design diversity allows/encourages you to play every shot.

Greens are generous and hold shots very well.

Biggest challenge is the longish & thick rough that can swallow a golf ball in the blink of an eye. Had more than one the rolled off or through a fairway and took a bit to find.

That said... I recommend this course without reservation to those who want the challenge.

Should be better

Should be better for the money. Greens are coming out of being aerated. Could be a great layout but the state does not allocate the funds to fully support the course. Great potential not being realized

Decent Value

The course itself was in pretty good condition, but the greens had just been aerated. We rented clubs and they were in great shape. We played first thing in the morning, and the course was still wet. We asked the starter if our rental included a towel. He simply stated "No" and went back into his guard shack. Not the most outgoing character I have ever met. So, we played with muddy balls and clubs for the round.

Great experience!

We come here once a year and always play here. The coarse is well designed with sand traps strategically placed amongst the fairways and around the greens. Coarse is a must play for any golfer no matter the experience level. Staff is amazing as well!

Jekyll Island (Pine Lakes), Georgia

The course was in very bad condition. You could not putt the greens due to bare spots and black fungus on most of the greens. I would inquire about the conditions of the greens before I played this golf course. Very disappointing!!!

My lucky day

Had to wait on the driving range for four deer to cross. Ran into deer at close range on several holes. Eagle circled me close overhead on No. 12. Have seen gators, tortoises, snakes and other critters previously. I played Indian Mound course alone on Memorial Day when I thought it would be packed. Foursome graciously let me pass on No. 2 and I had it to myself afterward. Played in less than three hours, in perfect weather and for $18. Doesn't get much better, even though I didn't play my best golf. Course will get your attention, without frustrating you. Play it.

Pinelakes

Nice course and a great day to play. The course is very Picturesque with a lot of abundant wildlife especially deer and alligators.
Mishit drives are a significant problems as the growth outside the rough is impossible.

Great conditions; Enjoyable round

Shop Assistant suggested that Pine Lakes was in the best condition of the three courses. It set a high bar! Fairways and greens were very nice, coming out of the winter months. Tees and bunkers were good. We were out early, so pace was fine. (Could have used a little bug spray for early hour.) Really enjoyed the round, and would definitely return to this one, and to try the other two.

Solid Track

I'm a local so when you play this course in the winter I always expect the snowbirds from the north to be out. Was paired up with a very pleasant Canadian couple who were good golfers and good company.

The course is in excellent shape. The greens will fool you as the footing feels soft but they are surprisingly fast in comparison. The short par 4s challenge you off the tee in what club you use and how much you want to bite off. The 18th par 4 is one of the toughest you'll play due to length and water down the right side of the fairway.

Pine Lakes Course

When I saw the pictures on-line, I thought there would be more water holes. I can only remember 3 holes where water came into play.
I signed up as a single and the starter didn't have anyone to pair me up with, so I played as a single. It took me under 3 hours to do the loop. I paid $15 through Golfnow for a hot deal and another $6 to get onto Jekyll Island. After tips and soda, it might have cost me $30. That was a bargain. Course was in good shape. People are very friendly.

My husband and I played and paired up with a single. We played in 3 ½ hours and enjoyed it very much! A very interesting, well maintained course for a public course. Will play it again!
