Golf, Jekyll Island, Georgia
|
| Most folks think that GA stands for Georgia, but those in the know know it is short for Golf Addict! And if you can spend hours and hours, day after day, in pursuit of that #@*& little white ball - and not get teed off... admit it, you're hooked. But remember, confession is good for the backswing! So just accept your weakness and enjoy the game. You're in good company here on the GA coast.
 | Great Dunes Golf Course
P.O. Box 13186 Jekyll Island GA 31527
877.4.JEKYLL
In 1926 the "Old Man" Walter Travis, the leading golf course architect of the time, was summoned by Mr. Rockefeller and the wealthy members of the Jekyll Island Club to create the "Best course money could purchase". His vision did not disappoint and had the club members golfing along Coastal Georgia's beach, swept with oats, natural sand barrier of the coastal dune system and the unique coastal terrain. Still in its original condition, this 9-hole course highlights the alternating simplicity and difficulty that only the "Old Man" could accomplish and a direct ancestor of all modern American Ocean Links courses.

 | Indian Mound Golf Course
P.O. Box 13186 Jekyll Island GA 31527
877.4.JEKYLL
Joe Lee, in 1975, mapped out this a new 18-hole challenge with trademark strategically situated fairway bunkers, playing through some of Jekyll Island's most pristine lakes and marshes. Lee named it Indian Mound after the large oyster shell middens deposited by aboriginal tribes hundreds of years prior. Indian Mound, like Jekyll Island's other courses is unobtrusive by residential or commercial development.

Considered the local favorite among Jekyll Island golf courses, the Oleander Course follows the Island's inland lakes and Pine forest on the grounds that once was the 34th oldest registered golf course in the United States. The 1964, Dick Wilson-designed course challenges golfers with numerous dog legs, par 4's, 5's and situated only 300 yards from the ocean, trade winds will often affect your play.

 | Pine Lakes Golf Course
P.O. Box 13186 Jekyll Island GA 31527
877.4.JEKYLL
The newest (originally designed and built in 1968 and completely renovated in 2002) and longest (at 6760 yards) course, Pine Lakes meanders through ocean forests and undisturbed hammocks populated by migratory birds. The original Dick Wilson/Joe Lee design was completely renovated in 2002 by course architect Clyde Johnston. Johnston took what was a near perfection and added his vision and flavor including new lakes, bunkers, redesigned greens and drainage improvements. During course design Clyde Johnston incorporated "Family Friendly" tee boxes, making this the only course in America that allows players of all ages to compete evenly. Pine Lakes and Jekyll Island are the official hosts for the annual US Kids Golf Jekyll Island Cup.
