Indian Mound: Joe Lee's Must Play.

Joe Lee's, splendidly playable contribution to the Jekyll Island Golf Club is a superb blend of length, strategy, and precision. Playing through southern pines, live oaks and around a few well placed water hazards, Indian Mounds tests all aspects of your game. Filled with a variety of holes, some bomber's delights, some precise and some testing your nerves, Indian Mound gives you a bit of everything. An immensely walkable routing, with yardages that are friendly to all levels of golfer, your round will involve all types of shots while trying to negotiate the small, canting green sites.

Editor's Shot Makers Picks:

Description:  Hole 4 presents a tee shot that needs to be threaded between bunkers left and swamp right. A mid iron approach must avoid a nasty deep fronting bunker to find the back to front sloped green. The fifth hole has a fairway filled with mounds and overhanging live oaks that make shot shaping a must to prevent a big number.  A large pond frames the entire left side of Hole 14, a cute, precision dogleg left. Whether you lay back or hit the big dog, the green has plenty of slope and a nasty steep faced bunker to punish a less than perfect second shot. The final of the short holes presents one of the smallest and most severe greens, with a 2 foot high plateau separating front from back. The large bunkers front and left will make you pay for anything less than perfect off the tee.
