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!
Very nice course and good challenge for all golfers.
Conditions for the tees, fairways, and greens were above for this time of year. Would definitely play anytime were visiting the area.
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 value and fun
Was a great round of golf. The course is a fun layout and offers great value compared to other courses in the area. Always a pleasure to play.
Course in good condition
Course is in good condition and greens are firm and quick. Would like to see more golf accessories in the pro shop like club brushes.
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.
Always love this place
The course has always been great. They’ve done a lot of work and it’s getting better.

VERY WELL MAINTAINED COURSE ESPECIALLY FOR WINTER PLAY! WILL DEFINITELY PLAY AGAIN! SOME CHALLENGING HOLES! TEES, GREENS, & FAIRWAYS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE!
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.

Course was in nice shape! Some challenging holes but fair! Staff very friendly, greens true! Would definitely play again!
Very nice course for cost
I really enjoy playing here when I'm down in this area. It's a fine layout and for the price online it's worth it.
Traps could use some tending but overall you won't be disappointed.
Good Time Golfing
This was my first time at the course. I hit a few balls at their driving range before teeing off. A book is provided describing each hole. Read it, as there are a few hidden dangers. Great value for the money.
From Jax
The course is in great shape especially for this time of year. The greens were rolling excellent.
We have been coming up from JAX for several years and
Always enjoy the round.
The lunch was awesome. My compliments to the chef!.
We’ll be back soon.
Excellent condition with a friendly staff
Staff was very friendly upon arrival and addressed all my needs. They even offered if I wanted to go off early. The course was in excellent condition for the middle of January. Restaurant and bar was very clean and appealing, very comfortable.
