In addition to rooms at the Resort, guests have two other accommodation options – the Jekyll Ocean Club, which is built along the beach, or one of three on-site historic cottages, Crane, Cherokee, and Sans Souci. Built in 1917, the Crane Cottage features Victorian era architecture with a fabulous garden. The Cherokee Cottage is an Italian Renaissance structure, built in 1904. The Victorian-style Sans Souci was once owned by the late J.P. Morgan. At the Resort, there are six on-site dining destinations: The Wharf, Grand Dining Room, Eighty Ocean Kitchen and Bar, The Pantry, The Pool House and The Bar & Alexander Lounge. The Jekyll Island Golf Club features three 18-hole championship courses. plus a ninehole layout. The three 18-holers, Indian Mound, Oleander, and Pine Lakes, are joined by the original nine-hole course, Great Dunes. Indian Mound, constructed in 1975 by golf course designer Joe Lee, is the shortest of the three 18-hole courses. Designed by golf course architect Dick Wilson, Oleander is known as the most ‘distinct’ of the three championship courses and measures 6,500 yards from the back tees. Pine Lakes, designed by Clyde Johnson, was first opened for play in 1968 and renovated in 2002. The golf course meanders through ocean forests and natural marsh hammocks. Great Dunes was the first golf course on Jekyll Island. The architect of this coastal jewel was Walter “Old Man” Travis and he was tasked with designing the best golf course money could buy in 1928. After golf, enjoy a post-round drink or snack at McCormick’s Grill. Michigan Golf Journal
