Great Experience

I had 4 brothers come South for a reunion and golf. They did not bring their clubs and we had to find a course that would be able to provide 4 sets of rental clubs. Laurel Island Links was the first and only course that we needed to contact. George in the Pro Shop was extremely accommodating to our group and the hospitality extended to us was outstanding. Our first round was such a fantastic experience that we requested to play again two days later. And again we were accommodated by George and the entire staff. We also took advantage of having lunch in the restaurant which was a great experience. Even the members in the lounge were friendly and one member bought our group a drink. The course was in great shape, challenging and fun. The five of us cannot overstate the gratitude we have for the outstanding treatment we received by Laurel Island Links. If you get the chance to visit and play this outstanding facility and interact with George and the entire staff don't pass it up. Thank you.

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!

Very nice course and good challenge for all golfers.

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!
