The Jekyll Island Golf Club is one of the most unique stops along The Georgia Golf Trail . Four courses, The Great Dunes, a nine-hole layout and three 18-hole courses, Indian Mound, Oleander and water impacts play on 11 of the 18 holes. The par fives are more difficult than their yardage indicates. The short par-four holes represent the best birdie opportunities. Oleander measures just more than 6,500 yards from the tips and has been the host course for the Georgia Open on four occasions. Designed by golf course architect Dick Wilson, Oleander is known as the most ‘distinct’ of the three 18-hole golf courses on Jekyll Island. Pine Lakes, designed by Clyde Johnson, first opened for play in 1968 and was renovated in 2002. The golf course meanders through forests and natural marsh hammocks.
