Originally built in 1927, the Great Dunes Golf Course iconic status is intact due to the recently completed restoration. The new design incorporates land from the original 9-hole Walter Travis-designed course with land from the former Dick Wilson-designed Oleander course.  Great Dunes Golf Course is reinvigorated due the iconic course's gilded-age roots combined with modern golf course design.  Golfers are taken on a one-of-a-kind journey through across sandy terrain pocked dunes, maritime forest and wetlands adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean.  Stretching to 7,014 from the championship tees, there are four teeing grounds on each scenic hole.  Following Travis's signature design elements, Grand Dunes features amazing contoured greens, strategic bunkering - designed and natural, chocolate drop mounding along fairways and around greens, plus routing that utilizes natural landforms and dunes. 

Joe Lee, in 1975, mapped out this a new 18 hole challenge with trademark strategically situated fairway bunkers, playing through some of Jekyll Island's most pristine lakes and marshes. Lee named it Indian Mounds after the large oyster shell middens deposited by aboriginal tribes hundreds of years prior. Indian Mound like Jekyll's other courses is unobstrutive by residential or commercial development.

Originally esigned and built by Dick Wilson, this masterpiece meanders through ocean forests and undisturbed hammocks populated by migratory birds. The longest of the four courses, Pine Lakes was completely renovated by course architect Clyde Johnson, designer of Stone Mountain's Golf Course in Atlanta, he took what was a near perfection and added his vision and flavor making it the premier course on Jekyll Island. During course design Clyde Johnson incorporated "Family Friendly" tee boxes, making this the only course in America that allows players of all ages to compete evenly. Pine Lakes and Jekyll Island are the official host for the annual US Kids Golf Jekyll Island Cup.
