Indian Mound, one of four championship courses at Jekyll Island Golf Club, is steeped in Lowcountry charm, where alligators sunbathe near the water hazards and Spanish moss adorns the ancient oaks framing each hole. This classic design, laid out near the island's historic district, presents a relaxed golfing experience. Originally designed by Joe Lee, the course's 1970s aesthetic favors a strategic, rather than brute-force, style of play. Generous fairways invite the tee shot, but subtle undulations and well-placed bunkers demand a thoughtful approach to the greens. Indian Mound is a course where clever shot-making is rewarded. While not hosting major championships, Indian Mound is considered a good day on the links with friends. Afterward, a gathering on the clubhouse patio is ideal for a meal and conversation, celebrating a round well-played amid the unique ambiance of Jekyll Island.
