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!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jurgen
I don't have a yardage device so, aside from the 150 yard markers, it was difficult to determine the correct club.
Always a great experience
This corse is always so well maintained. The staff is excellent and very welcoming. We can’t wait to play again
Nice course.
My only complaint was the height of the rough. Course was in great shape.
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.
Nice Course
Beautiful course with a friendly staff. Plenty of wildlife and great scenery to enjoy. Enjoy outstanding burgers in the clubhouse after your round at Bogey's.
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!!
WORTH THE DRIVE
I'm impressed how the new management and staff are doing here at Laurel Island. I have to admit when a group of us played here a little more than a year ago we didn't enjoy the round course and staff have made a change for the better...
We enjoyed our round and it was like we had the course to ourselves but it was a good time and we will be back again.
Thank you.
Hello, ryanlapointe. 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 Laurel Island Links another try in the near future.
What a pleasure!
My wife and I have played a ton of courses and this hidden jewel was the first one that give a s senior woman a real distance break with the gold tees that were forward of the red tees. The track is great an it was just fun to play. It was also full of beauty and nature. We will absolutely play it again. If your looking for stress free golf in a friendly atmosphere, look no further. Thanks for a great day!
Don’t go!
Course is a complete mess! The greens are actually sand traps with holes. The fairways and rough probably haven’t been cut in a month. It looks like they fired all the groundskeepers!

FIRST VISIT
HAVE A FRIEND THAT RECENTLY MOVED INTO THE AREA SO DECIDED TO CHECK IT OUT. THE COURSE WAS NICE AND NOT OVERLY COMPLICATED, THE FACILITY AND STAFF WERE VERY INVITING, ONLY ISSUE AND NOT THE COURSE FAULT, ONLY THE FRONT 9 WAS AVAILABLE TO PLAY AND WE WERE NOT ADVISED BY GOLFNOW DURING THE SCHEDULE PROCESS BUT WE STILL HAD A GREAT TIME AND WILL VISIT AGAIN
Love This Course
We play this course at least a couple of times a month. Beautiful setting and love all of the staff. Great value and always an enjoyable round.
