Fine course...handles rain fine
Always a treat. Staff are super nice. Course is in super condition
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.
Always Fun
The course played tough on the front during some breezy weather, but was still a fair test. Fairways and greens were in good/great shape, but a few tee boxes could use some new grass. The greens were running true, but not very fast.
It's always worth coming out to play here.
Fine course and staff
Very nice course in every way. Staff are very friendly and happy to see come out and play the course
Not Bad
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.
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
