The second nine roams inland working toward a secluded section of pine forest. The course is softly shaped and tinged in gentle southern atmosphere, opened in 1997. There is a light touch and quiet interaction with nature. You can play a beautiful, meditative golf at Laurel Island Links Laurel Island is approximately 25 minutes north of Jacksonville, FL.

Great value and Davis Love design
I have always enjoyed going to Laurel Links. Overall course conditions are great including green surfaces. Some part of the green areas were under construction but it did not impact your play. Overall a great course. I am pleased with the price point to play and it is certainly a great value. Wish many of the courses in Jacksonville’s followed suit. If you live in the North Florida and South Georgia area, good play Laurel Island Links.
Been awhile
Course was in excellent shape
Fairways and all greens except 15 are very playable.
And only a corner of 15 was chewed up
Only bad part was the traps need to be replaced
They are really poor
Overall, worth the drive from jax

Overall course conditions was great. I would suggest the restaurant to be open for weekend morning tee times. Breakfast, ice, drinks, and other amenities is good to have before tee times. The courtesy and friendliness of the staff is awesome.
Keep up the good works
Course was not in good condition l
Course was in terrible condition and there was no cart girl on a Sunday! Food is excellent there with a nice bar.Very disappointed in the condition of the course.It used to be kept very nice.Hope it turns around!
Bang For Your Buck
Had an excellent round this past weekend. Such an easy drive from Jacksonville to the course. Will be back soon!
Alright, but lack of service and help.
When we arrived at the course, there was no bag drop area or greeter so we double parked by the front door and when into the pro shop to check in and get the lay of the land. Check-in was fine, but I found it strange that the counter person said to return just prior to our tee time to get the key for the cart. Without any cart at this point, we parked the car and ended up having to carry our bags across the parking lot to the practice area. Just prior to our tee time I went back into the pro shop to ask for a cart key at which point the counter person said that someone outside was looking for us to give us a cart. We got the cart and had to load our own bags. Again no assistance or guidance regarding the course. We found our way to the first tee where we were told we were being paired with a single golfer. We found course conditions to be acceptable not great. Bunkers lacked sand and were hard pan. Some had residual puddles of water in them. Pace of play was quite slow. I guess the trade off to this is there was no pressure to maintain a faster pace of play. This club is more a community course with lots of resident members. There were few outside visitors such as us. IMO the greens fee for 9 holes was reasonable so in the end you get what you pay for. I would not return to play this course again nor recommend playing this course unless you're a beginner or on a limited budget.
Great course.
Love this course layout and the staff was awesome. Smiles and welcomes from the time we got there until we left. The greens could use some love for sure, but they weren't a deal breaker. Will be back.
Great Golf Great Price
What a hidden gem this is. Played on a Sunday for under 40 dollars and the course is in excellent shape. The staff is super friendly from the golf shop to the beverage cart. Pace of play is excellent I cannot wait to play it again next Sunday. This course has a set of tees for everyone from the novice to the Professional. I am seriously thinking of joining it even though its 50 minutes from my house. It is worth the drive.
Great value
Course is fun and in good shape. Price is very good value.
