Golfing at Jekyll Island Golf Club
Jekyll Island Club created the island’s first golf course in 1898; today, the Jekyll Island Golf Club is the largest public golf course in Georgia. Attracting players worldwide, Jekyll Island Golf Club features two 18-hole golf courses (Indian Mound and Pine Lakes) and the historic Great Dunes 9-hole course, whose links were initially laid in 1910. Book a private or group lesson at Jekyll Island Golf Club (available for members and non-members) to elevate your golf game.
Pine Lakes Course
The Pine Lakes course is the longest-running course on the island. Built in 1968 and renovated in 2022, this 18-hole course winds through a mix of forested and open landscapes. Designed by Clyde Johnson, Pine Lakes was made with family in mind. The family-friendly tee boxes allow for an even playing field for both younger players and adults.
Indian Mound Course
If you’re looking for an afternoon of fun play on a beautiful, lush fairway, Indian Mound is the ideal 18-hole course. Constructed by Joe Lee in 1975, the course puts your skills and strategy to the test. Enjoy navigating the bunkers in risky places as you take in the gorgeous views of the island and woodlands.
Great Dunes Course
The Great Dunes Course is a historic 9-hole course designed in 1926 by famed course designer Walter “Old Man” Travis. Offering a classic golfing experience and scenic views of the marshes, forests, and the Atlantic Ocean, players will find a challenging round of golf with undulating fairways and well-manicured greens. *Course is currently closed for renovations.
Golfing at Sanctuary Cove
Sanctuary Cove is one of the top semi-private golf facilities in Georgia. The course is a Love Golf Design/Fred Couples Signature course with a par-72, 7,500-yard layout that differs from the typical residential golf experience and is truly unique to the area. The facility also boasts an indoor golf simulator and a bar and grill.
