Enjoy Georgia Sports
Jekyll Island is perfect for sports enthusiasts because of the proximity to local venues. Jekyll Island Club boasts some of the best golf in coastal Georgia. The club boasts three 18-hole courses and one 9-hole historic course. If golf is not for you, you can try tennis at Jekyll Island Tennis Center, which was recently voted one of the best tennis destinations in the nation. Or enjoy soccer or lacrosse at the Jekyll Island Soccer Complex to play these sports.
