Jekyll Island Club Hotel

The legacy of the original Jekyll Island Club is one of history and hospitality. Founded in 1886, the Club was once the private winter retreat of America's wealthiest families with such members as Morgan, Rockefeller, Pulitzer and Vanderbilt. It all began at the turn of the century, and now the Jekyll Island Club Hotel is one of the top resorts in Georgia, and open to you. The Victorian clubhouse with its famed turret, along with a collection of adjacent structures, have been splendidly restored and are the centerpiece of Jekyll Island's renowned National Historic Landmark District. Our admired trilogy of premier guest amenities, rich history and gracious service has made the Jekyll Island Club Hotel a celebrated and award-winning vacation and meetings resort for over 25 years. Located on one of Georgia's most beautiful coastal barrier islands–acclaimed for its beaches, recreation and spectacular natural beauty–a truly landmark experience awaits you.

Jekyll Island has been one of America's premiere golf destinations since 1898, when Jekyll Island Club members designed and built the first golf course on the island. Today, Jekyll Island has bragging rights as Georgia's largest public golf resort. With three 18 hole golf courses, Pine Lakes, Indian Mound and Oleander, Jekyll Island has something for golfers of all ages and ability levels to enjoy. In addition to the 18 hole courses, Jekyll Island also boasts Great Dunes, the historic nine hole course. With ocean views and signage portraying the history of Jekyll Island golf, Great Dunes is a must play for any island guest.

The King and Prince Golf Course:

Originally designed by Joe Lee, the King and Prince Golf Course's signature is the group of four salt marsh island holes, accessed by 800 feet of bridges. Lee's genius extends through the entire 18-hole, Par 72 course as it bends around towering oaks and across lakes and lagoons.

The course underwent an extensive restoration and renewal project in 2009. The resort turned to Billy Fuller as the course architect and Medalist Golf as the builder to create a truly great golf experience. Mr. Fuller, who has served as course superintendent for Augusta National, sought to enhance Joe Lee's original design.

All 18 greens have mini-verde, ultra dwarf Bermuda grass, and 60" green collars planted with Tifsport Bermuda. All 18 fairways have Celebration Bermuda grass. View the course online with our 3-D graphic hole-by-hole flyover tour.

An extraordinary Practice Facility includes a 6500 sq ft mini-verde putting green, a 3000 sq ft mini-verde chipping green, and five target greens.
