Beautiful course, sometimes soggy

Our foursome has played Laurel Island Links twice. It is a beautiful course with most of the greens in excellent shape. The sand traps are in terrible shape, as hard as parking lots. One was filled with black sludge near a construction site. Both times have been cart path only, but the desk failed to mention it the second time we played. We stayed on the cart path when the fairways were obviously heavily water-logged, in some cases so wet we had to wade over areas to get to our balls. On one high and dry fairway we ventured out in carts, and the ranger chewed us out a bit too long, considering our apologies. The staff in general is exceptionally friendly, however, and there is a good restaurant. We will definitely go back to see if it’s always soggy and cart path only!

Overcast with a chance for birdie

Well i have been teaching my woman the game of golf for about 8 months. So far she is excited to learn and very eager to play which i got to say surprised me. We line up a tee time on I believe it was a Sunday and it was overcast had some showers at morning so I thought our game would be canceled naturally. Well it wasn't the rain a dissipated by the time it was tee time and believe it or not we were probably the only people on that golf course at day or at least it felt that way the pace of play was perfect for teaching someone it was all in all a great day for golf am I woman play the best golf she's ever played in her life on its course and I was really excited for a minute it's a challenging course but not alone chords but not too long beautiful course we love to Mark views we love that Daya Golf and forever be etched in my memory thank you Laurall Island Golf Course.

Just Right!!

There's a handful of courses out there that will rival Laurel Island for it's intimate playing environment. Even though the course is layed out through some communities, it was still designed keeping the quietness of nature, that the game brings, in mind. As an added bonus, once you've worked up an appetite after a round of 18, be sure to grab a bite to eat at Bogeys! If the course doesn't bring you back, this little gem will. From the "like home" environment to the delectable dishes that are guaranteed to satisfy you with a smile, Bogey's has what you need!

It may not be the best place for the next PGA tour, but it's Just Right for a relaxing day on the course!

Great Value! Great Staff! Excellent layout!

For the money you can’t find a better value. The course is in really good shape. You can tell there has been some upgrades in areas, as there was one bunker under full repair. I live in Jacksonville and the quick drive up I-95 is well worth it considering there are many local (Jax) courses that charge too much and are not in good playing shape (CC of Orange Park is a prime example of maintenance on the cheap). Overall, my first experience was enjoyable and I 100% recommend to get up to Kingsland and play this DL3 design. Cheers!

Great Round

Greens were fast but good pin positions allowed for making putts. Golf carts were clean and ran great. Look forward to playing this course many more times. Great service by Proshop staff.

Superb golf experience

Can’t say enough about this great golf club. Beautiful course with so great holes many with marsh views. Course in excellent condition. Greens in great shape. Despite a great course the people were even better! Super friendly and helpful. I left my jacket on the range. It was returned to the pro shop by a young man who works for the course . Nothing missing. Benny the club pro sought me out in the dining room / bar after my round. He introduced himself and thanked me for playing at his club. Who does that? So friendly and professional. Did I mention the fee was $32 with a cart! Maybe the best golf value anywhere. Honestly, you owe it to yourself to play here.
