Pine Lakes, designed by Clyde Johnson, was first opened for play in 1968 andwas renovated in 2002. It meanders through forests and natural marsh hammocks. Golfers agree that Pine Lakes is peaceful, quiet, as well as, tranquil, yet a challenge for any skill level. Great Dunes was the first course on Jekyll Island and was built by Walter Travis. Asked to design and build the best golf course money could buy, Travis did just that. Work on the Great Dunes Course began in 1926 and it opened for play in 1928. It sits just a drive and wedge from the beach. When the seaside breezes pick up, the degree of difficulty of Great Dunes also increases. At one time the United States Golf Association used Great Dunes as a testing facility for clubs, shafts, and golf balls. After golf, enjoy a post-round drink or snack at McCormick’s Grill. It’s a welcome 19th hole! To book your visit to Jekyll Island, check out JekyllIsland.com or GeorgiaGolfandTravel.com. Don’t forget, ten miles of Atlantic Ocean beaches and 63 holes of golf await your arrival. Indiana Golf Journal
