great course
great course! Greens are excellent for the time of year I played it. Had a friend in from another state and he really liked it also.
Laurel island links
The course was beautiful and wide open. The layout was great . The only issue and it didn’t bother me was the cart paths are in dire need of repair.
Smooth & faster greens
Need to trim the tee boxes but the grass on course is coming in well. Played shortly after sunrise so the sand-knats were RUTHLESS - bring spray! Course is overall really good though - challenging holes and fast greens. I'll be back!
Great day
We had an outstanding day of golf. Easy, steady pace of play, perfect weather and the course moving towards greener springlike conditions. Greens were very good, fairways started to green up, rough is still winter brown, so no issues other than the sand traps are in need of some significant work.
Golf
The course is in good shape. The pace of play was good. The staff is very nice especially Sarah. The price is a little high, and the food is way too high
Great Round
With the exception of the sand traps which are in terrible condition, the course is a good bang for the buck.
Very good course.
Have played here several times over past three years during this time of year. Good conditions despite recent rain. Challenges abound.
Very nice golf course and was in great shape. I will definitely return
Layout good, conditions average.
I have enjoyed the layout for years. A very good combination of length and difficulty. This time of year the grass not growing, wind and rain depleting the ground, and sand traps pretty unplayable, the course is only OK.
Had an enjoyable 3 hour round. Greens rolled amazing. Staff was nice.
Great layout and views
The staff were extremely friendly. Loved the layout of the course and can't beat the views. Course was in exceptional condition considering it's early February. Money well spent
Pleasant golf
Played mid-morning and with 2 foursomes and we had the course to ourselves. Layout is nice, conditions are good for late January, and the weather was benign. The greens were is very good shape, the fairways were starting to green up, but there are areas that need improvement, but at the price it’s difficult to complain.
