The 18-hole Laurel Island Links in Kingsland, Georgia is a public golf course that opened in 1996. Designed by Davis Love III, Laurel Island Links measures 7011 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 138 and a 74.8 USGA rating. The course features 4 sets of tees for different skill levels.

This design by PGA Tour player Davis Love III is quite remarkable. Laurel island resides on the banks of the vast Crooked River marsh that provides a stunning backdrop for holes two, three, and six.

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. From Jacksonville take I-95 north to Georgia exit 6 and head east for two miles. Laurel Island Parkway will be on the left.

Surprisingly in good shape for the time of year and weather conditions. Fairways and greens in good condition with exception of one green. Staff is always friendly which makes you feel right at home. Excellent value.

Great layout

Some really good holes on this course. Layout is great. Always play here when in the Brunswick area. Worth the 30 minute drive and great value for money. Would recommend this course to anyone. Real test from the back tees. Course was a little wet in spots and would like to see the greens a little quicker,

Conditions are off but value is there

I’ve played this course 4 times now since the beginning of the summer and it’s not what it was the first time. I thought that Laurel Island was one of the best values in the area but was a little disappointed this time. I love the layout of the course and it’s usually in fairly decent shape so for $30-$40, depending when you play, it’s usually a great deal. Today that wasn’t the case.

I noticed as soon as I got to the practice green that conditions were off because it was covered in crab grass. Tee boxes were in ok shape and so were the fairways but most of the bunkers were unraked and unplayable. Greens a little iffy as well.

The fairways were being mowed and the workers didn’t even acknowledge that I was playing thru. Atleast a third of the holes I ran into landscapers that did not power down at all and mowed right by me as I was hitting.

Pace of play was fine until I caught a couple by the end of the front nine who did not even offer me a chance to join them or play thru the rest of the way.

The courses layout is still great (especially the front nine) but conditions need to improve for me to continue to take the 45 minute ride down to Laurel Island Links.

Rude Starter

Starter is so full of himself. He was also dressed like a slob and rude not to mention inconsiderate. No doubt the course is better off without this guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. He also talked very loud on the phone when players were teeing off. I was also told by my playing partner he was chased down because he was playing by himself although the course was practically empty.; was told no 1-somes. FYI i played by myself last week!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have a yardage device so, aside from the 150 yard markers, it was difficult to determine the correct club.

Very Good Course

Course was in very good condition. Bermuda roughs at about 4" were very unforgiving, ball sank to bottom. Greens were very slow. Fairways were excellent. They were in the process of re-sanding the traps. A couple of the holes had blind shot, good thing I was paired with a local. 19th hole was a very friendly place with great food and drinks. Definitely worth playing again.

Wet

This is a good golf course, however, the greens are decent for the amount of rain they had. Its really wet right now, once it drys out and they cut the greens, will be perfect.

Highly Recommend...

Not sure what u000004205924 was talking about. Apparently, neither is he. Course was aerated on 8/5-8/8, thus the sand on the greens. Maybe this guy was a first timer but this course is typically in great shape and the staff are always very nice and professional. Food in the grille is top notch and the beer is always cold.

5 star all the way

This is my home course and I love it. Ronnie and Joyce Tyre have tirelessly work to bring this course back to tip top shape. Our golf course and our community are blessed to have them. The course is ladies and seniors friendly, and the scenery and wildlife are an added benefit.

Wet, but Still Playable!

My group of 3 were the first ones off on Saturday morning immediately after heavy rain. Cart path only made for slow going, especially with no roll and we always seemed to be opposite the path! A couple of greens were spotty but course in pretty good shape overall. Course drains fairly well and even as wet as it was, we had an enjoyable round! Love the mini corn- dog bites with a hard cider afterwards!!
