With four distinct golf courses ranging in difficulty, Jekyll Island golf is the perfect destination for golfers of any skill level or experience. Pine Lakes, Oleander, Indian Mound and Great Dunes, the four courses comprising Jekyll Island Golf, offer their own unique challenges and design traits, but each are set among a friendly, relaxing and beautiful environment that was made for golf.

Renovated in 2002 to include a network of family tees, Pine Lakes is a gorgeous course that winds its way through island forests and around fresh water lakes. Pine Lakes' year round impeccable conditioning is enhanced by its state-of-the art drainage, which keeps the course in play and in great shape despite the weather. Under the direction of course architect Clyde Johnston, the Pine Lakes renovation delivered modern turf technology with a classic design. Beautifully sculpted fairways reward accurate tee shots and the smooth TifEagle greens make for true putting surfaces. At more than 6,700 yard from the tips, Pine Lakes is the longest of the Jekyll Island courses, placing a distinct premium on the tee shot.

A popular stop for visitors to Coastal Georgia, Oleander is a Dick Wilson masterpiece crafted around an engaging fresh water lake. Built on the edge of the Atlantic, cool ocean breezes often come into play at Oleander. A long-time favorite of golfers on Jekyll Island, Oleander is a popular tournament course, having hosted state high school championships and U.S. Kids Golf World Championships. Isolated in a wonderfully natural setting where only deer, wood storks, alligators and osprey are your gallery, Oleander provides a stern test for accomplished golfers and just the right amount of challenges for average players.

At just over 6,400 yards from the back tees, Indian Mound is the shortest of the Jekyll Island courses. Yet don't mistake lack of distance for ease of play. Nestled among a scenic forest, this classic Joe Lee design demands accuracy and solid shot making. With five lakes to navigate throughout the layout, Indian Mound is a test not only of a golfers' skill, but also their nerves. In addition to the water hazards, the course features strategic bunkering that again will test accuracy on almost every hole.

Built in 1897, Great Dunes offers an historical experience right on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Though only a nine-hole layout, Great Dunes is a superb challenge with its classic links style layout featuring small greens. To score well at Great Dunes, you better bring your short game, because the demands around the greens are significant. With such an impressive lineup of golf to choose from, the question isn't whether to play at Jekyll Island Golf Club, but which courses to play. So make it easy on yourself and play them all.
