A-Golfing We Will Go!

When you plan a visit to Coastal Georgia, don’t forget your clubs!  Today I’m featuring the courses on Jekyll Island, but courses abound throughout the area.

Three beautiful eighteen hole courses are well manicured and maintained for your playing enjoyment.  Indian Mound, Oleander and Pine Lakes.  You may not know that Jekyll Island is Georgia’s largest public golf resort.  These courses meander through the center part of the island.

Their natural setting allows players to experience the beauty of the area, with an occasional deer or two grazing on the edge of the fairway.

alligator golf

Or wildlife of a more reptilian variety, alligators.  I am assured that they are shy and don’t want to bother us any more than we want communion with them!

Oleander is the older of the courses and many consider it the most difficult.  Pine Lake is the longest with Indian Mound providing the shortest yet still challenging game.

GREAT DUNES PG

Don’t forget the fourth course, Great Dunes, a nine hole course.  In the words of the “Jekyll Island Golf Club” website:  “The course features several holes with some of the smallest greens you will ever encounter, one of the most unique par 5s in existence, and one of the most difficult par 3’s without water you’ll ever play.  Great Dunes represents what is left of Jekyll’s original layout of 100-plus years ago and is a real treasure because of the glimpse it provides of golf from a bygone era.”  For more from this great site: http://golf.jekyllisland.com/course.html

After you’ve finished a day of golf, wander on over to Latitude 31, located at the end of the pier on the Jekyll Island Club Hotel property http://latitude31jekyllisland.com/?page_id=12.  This exceptional fresh seafood restaurant’s is one of Mr. T’s and my favorites.  It’s actually the scene of our first date several years ago.  Waterfront dining in a casual island atmosphere is the perfect way to finish the day.  Many nights you’ll find live music at the “Rah Bar”, just outside the door, where you can dance under the moonlight and toast the stars!

Jekyll Island, it offers a setting that still feels remote, a bit removed from the madding crowd.  You’ll find all of the modern amenities you could possibly ask for!
