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.
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.
Laurel links
Laurel links is course that offers some beautiful marsh views and some decently forgiving fairways. I played the white tees and at times they where basically blue tees because they where literally right next to them. I found the course to be enjoyable. My drive is nothing to be impressed with but often times would leave me around 150 in. The par 5s are challenging. Some of the par threes can be as well if the wind picks up. All in all good value for sure. Only one green was really ruff, the rest where full of undulations and where not fast by any means. Probably because it was raining all week. The best deal is on golf now app. I pad almost twice the amount at the course.

Great course to play for men and women
My husband and I both love this course..great value and well cared for
One of my favorite courses!
I enjoy playing this course. It is in great shape and the staff is friendly. Great restaurant in the club house.
Good value
Good course layout and design. For the most part course was in good shape. Greens were recently top dressed so putting was difficult but this is to be expected. Tee to green pretty well maintained. I would play again.

World Cup Review
My friend was visiting from VA and we decided to book a tee time. Course was mostly empty. Staff was friendly and clubhouse is a nice place to relax and grab a drink and bite. We went off early. Course was in good shape with the exception of the greens. There was a lot of inconsistency between greens. Some holes the greens were so spotty it was impossible to get a true roll. Others were in excellent shape. The putting green was in similar shape. Some of the issues could have been mitigated by pin placement. Overall, we had a great round and experience.
Great Layout.
Terrific course. Great value. They are struggling with some spots on a few greens but overall a great experience.
Great course for the money.
Fairways are in great shape. Greens were spotty, but they rolled true. Pace of play was great. I will definitely play here again.
2yrs later
Last played this track 2yrs ago and it's still a gem. There's a little TLC needed on a few greens due to water damage done remember the exact ones
