Always a wonderful time

If you are anywhere near this course it’s a must. I try to get up there at least once a month. With the weather getting warmer the fairways are getting in great shape. Greens and tee boxes are wonderful. If you practice on the putting green all 18 are even better. Great staff and service. Highly recommend

A good fun play

The day and the play would have been perfect, except the bugs were eating us alive. The bites were plentiful. Make sure you have plenty of bug spray.

Otherwise enjoy your day !

A good course at a very fair price.

Unfortunately, a number of greens had not been cleared of seed pods that had dropped from nearby trees. This is a seasonal problem.

Majestic views

The course was in fairly good shape. Greens were nice. Fairways may have been cut too short but not terrible. Very forgiving course if you hit an errant ball. May want to recheck yardage from tees with gps. Some were off a half a club or more. Otherwise a great value.

Always a fun course to play.

Play here often the course has improved considerately and the greens and tee boxes are in great shape. Highly recommend Laurel Island to everyone. It's tucked into the trees along the Marsh in Georgia. I always enjoy the peaceful tranquility of this course.

Nice layout

The wife and I had a very enjoyable round. A few of the bunkers were wet from earlier rain but fairways were great along with the greens. Mostly open fairways which the wife especially enjoyed. Some challenging, but fair, water holes. It is a varied, interesting course with a very nice driving range. Staff very friendly

Bang for your buck

This is a great course. The greens are in perfect shape. It was very easy to get to the course. It's 5 min off of 95. This was my first time playing it and I can't wait to go there again. Think their prices are a little low considering how awesome Laurel Island is.

This course has become one of my favorite courses..always in good shape.

We had a "fivesom" ahead of us..they were members and kind of rude..played slow..

Other than that it was an enjoyable round of golf.

Great layout

We enjoyed our round very much. Greens are smooth with good speed. Marsh views are lovely. Holes are interesting and varied.

Excellent driving range, putting green and practice areas . This is a great stopping point if you are traveling to Florida. Definitely worth a stop over for a terrific golf course at a great value.

Great Time with Daughter

My daughter (age 13) and I played here in the afternoon and had a very smooth round. Pace was never a problem and the course was in good shape for the winter season. The staff at the pro shop were very friendly and answered any questions we had. I would recommend this course to anyone looking for a fun round on a moderately challenging course, especially for time spent with your children.

Very nice experience

Beautiful course and tough layout. First time playing the course and impressed. Not easily walked as there are several long distances between green and tee boxes. Nice experience and planning to return soon.
