Course condition
Winter conditions I suppose. Turf was sparse with more bare ground than grass. Greens were less than average but rolled true. Stay off the concrete cart path...so broken up if may cause a sore back due to the rough ride. Undecided if I will be back as there are many courses in the area in much better shape.
Hello, THOMASBROADBENT. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
Good value
Course is in good shape and price is very fair. This is a great value.
Great course for a great price
The course was in nice shape and the greens rolled true.
Had a great time
Nice course, good value
The course was really in nice shape and the greens were very good.
Pace of play was slow because we followed a 5 some for 18 holes. There was no one on the course to correct this either.
Other than that, I really liked everything else about it.
Enjoying the weather
The course was in good condition. Greens were a little slow, but looked really nice.
What a fun course!
This is our favorite course in the area. We like to golf around. Every time we play this course, we say the same thing., we should become members. Try it, I think you will like it.
Nice outing for new friends
The course was in great shape, much better than my game. Bad shots are penalized, but shots that are just off are recoverable. It was a lot of fun with some challenging tees, especially on the back nine.
Laurel Rain day
Laurel Links has a nice design with some forgiveness on a few holes. Today's play was after two days of hard rains that affected the course conditions. Cart path only was the rules but with small groups the pace of play was great. I would recommend this course on a not so wet day.
fun to play
course in good shape/pace of play great/fun course good value

Nice shape
The course was in very good condition. The greens are running true and the grass is in most areas of the course.
Love Course, Disappointed with Men’s Group
We play this course often and have NEVER had any issues until today. It appears “The Men’s Group” started behind us. We were almost finished with our round and one grouping in the men’s group were urinating on Hole 10 and dropping F bombs left and right. It was obvious this group had too much to drink. When we let the Marshall know all he had to say was that’s the men’s group. We were very disappointed that the course allows such things to go on with members. We have been seriously considering membership but are rethinking that now.
Best ever
I place this course about every time I come to the area. Saw recent reviews and decided to give it a shot and was not disappointed. Best shape I have seen it in. Well worth the price. Back 9 was slow but part of it the day before Thanksgiving!
