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!

Fun Course

Nice course and fund to play. It offers good challenge, the greens are nice, fast, and undulated. The course was a bit wet in some areas due to the amount of rain we got and the weekend. Would recommend.

Nice time at Laurel Island

First time playing and was very, very impressed. Fair test with some nice views. Condition was excellent tee to green. Some long walks between holes so carts may be a good idea. Pro shop staff particularly knowledgeable and helpful. Worth the trip!

Wonderful Golf Outing at Bargain rates

Today’s (Nov. 6) visit to Laurel Island links was wonderful. The overcast skies & moderate breeze felt great. Staff was very welcoming & course was well maintained. Greens rolled smooth, true & moderately slow. Recent rain was absorbed & cart use was not restricted. Greens were firm despite recent rain. Club house facilities, pro shop & locker rooms, including their “19th hole” for refreshments were very nice. Our tee time was just past noon & pace of play was not impeded by anyone. Course coolers were filled with cold water on the course to stay hydrated. I’m very thankful course has chosen to participate with Golf Now for several daily tee times. Its a great incentive to play often. Location is very easy to get to from JAX area or SE Georgia - just 10 minutes east of I-95, in Kingsland.

Great shape

Played here for over 12 years and course is in the best shape it has ever been. People are friendly and the pace of play is good. Great value for the price. Second and third holes are very visual looking over the marsh.

Rainy interlude

The staff is wonderful. The starter brought us a cart as we were driving up and gave us a bucket for the driving range. There’s a nice club house restaurant, where you can order lunch for when you finish the front 9. It’s a beautiful island golf course with marsh and water hazards and (for me) magnetic bunkers. The fairways and rough were well cared for and most of the greens were in excellent shape, only two or three balding around the edges. We got caught in a 20-minute downpour, but we waited it out and the remaining seven holes were still quite playable. Warmly recommended place.
