is another great dining option, while lounging poolside at the resort. When it comes to the ‘play’ part of your Jekyll Island adventure, the Jekyll Island Golf Club includes three 18-hole courses, Indian Mound, Oleander and Pine Lakes, plus the original ninehole layout, the Great Dunes. Indian Mound, constructed in 1975 by golf course designer Joe Lee, is the shortest of the three 18-hole courses with water impacting play on 11 of the 18 holes. The par fives provide more difficulty than their yardage indicates, and the short par four holes provide the best birdie opportunities. Oleander, which measures just more than 6,500 yards from the tips, 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. Ohio Golf Journal
