The grand tradition of the Jekyll Island Club Hotel began a century ago, when it was founded as an exclusive retreat for members of America's highest society. Today, where Morgan, Pulitzer, Rockefeller and Vanderbilt once came to relax, discerning visitors may enjoy the same unique combination of natural beauty and elegant architecture, private amenities and personal service. The island features 63 holes of challenging golf on 3, par 72 eighteen hole courses and one 9 hole course. There are 9 tennis courts - one indoor and five lighted. The heated outdoor swimming pool is next to the Clubhouse, while Surfside Beach Club, on the Atlantic Ocean, is three quarters of a mile away.
Complimentary transportation is provided for guests throughout the island.
In addition, the hotel offers a regulation size croquet lawn, bicycle rentals year-round and children's programs during our summer months. Jekyll Island is environmentally protected. There are ten miles of beach, twenty miles of bicycling and jogging trails, historic tours, and Summer Waves, a water fun park. Nearby are additional golf courses, horseback riding, carriage tours, boating, deep sea and inshore fishing and miniature golf. Amenities on the Island include one 9 hole and three 18 hole golf courses, putt putt golf and seasonal activities such as jet skis, historic tours, deep sea or inshore fishing and dolphin watch tours.
