JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. (AP) — There's no shortage of wildlife on Jekyll Island's Pine Lakes Golf Course. Deer roam close to the tree canopies and wood storks roost in the trees.
Pink-colored roseate spoonbills, herons and palm warblers fly overhead, all while golfers spend their day on the greens.
When it comes to enhancing and protecting its wildlife habitat on the course, Pine Lakes Golf Course is on the right track.
The course, which is the newest and longest course on Jekyll Island, recently received certification in Environmental Planning from the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for golf courses.
The 18-hole golf course was originally designed and built in 1968, and was renovated in 2002.
