Jekyll Island Golf Club - Pine Lakes Course

The revamped course needs some more time to develop but overall in nice shape.

This Course could and should,be,in much better shape. Cart path only is not going to fix it. And certainly not worth the money in its condition and cart path only. A waste of money redoing all the grass last year. Only positive is that the greens roll nice.

It is still cart path only on all holes. The grass has not grown in. Tees were bad and fairways only slightly better. Greens about the only part that was ok -rolled pretty good. After the renovation last year it should be in much better condition. All this does not justify the $95 dollars to play it. Should be discounted until these issues are fixed.

The course is set up for different abilities. Keep it in play and score well.
Greens are hard and fast. Hit high approach shots and you should hold the green, if not you should think about landing short and running up.
Looking forward to playing again.

Pace of play was an obstacle. Single player in cart should be waived thru a foursome walking and looking for balls in the woods.

Newly renovated! Great condition !
Beautiful day ! I think they are trying to preserve fairways! It was cart path only !

Had I known they still are not letting carts out. I would not have booked and paid for a cart and chosen to walk instead.

One of my favorite seaside courses just got better with an extensive re-do over the past two years. I like it even more now!

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.

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.

First time playing since the renovation - everything has improved. Greens are fast and firm, the revised bunkers are in great shape. Although it was cart path only, we maintained pace. Can’t wait to play it again!

Fairways and greens were excellent. Only negative is cart path only for several more months to allow the new sod to take hold. Will wait till carts are allowed before playing again.

Rate a 4.5 if available. Course has just reopened & in really good shape, tees to greens, even sand traps. Rough is penalizing. Greens in great shape. After fairways fill in & matures it will become really nice. Played on cloudy day, pace of play excellent. Prefer a lower green fee but being a resort course, probably not happening. Highly recommend especially if you can a good deal
