Laurel June 8
The course was in decent condition. Fairways was in great shape. Some greens were bumpy and needed some love. Overall, the conditions after the consistent rains and heat are fair.
Thank you
Laurel Links
Great course layout and very pretty from an optical perspective. The tees and fairways were in great shape. Unfortunately the greens are less than optimal. Fix the greens and this course would be an 8 or 9.
Courteous Pro Shop Staff
Pro shop staff was very courteous and welcoming. We enjoyed our 2nd time out on this course while visiting our kids from Bunker Hill, WV.
Love the layout
Pace of play and layout of the course were fine. Staff wasn’t overly friendly and the greens were generally not good. I’d play it again but it’s not the best course around.
GEORGIA PEACH
VERY NICE COURSE GREAT LAYOUT AND FUN TO PLAY WHERE EVER YOU LIVE GIVE IT A TRY GREAT PACE OF PLAY
GEORGIA GEM
PART OF ANNUAL FOURSOME GOLF TRIP WE ALL REALLY LOVED THIS GREAT CONDITIONS GREENS WERE VERY GOOD ACCEPT ONE GREEN IN THE BACK VERY FAIR GOLF LAYOUT FOR SENIORS PAR 3 WERE VERY FAIR JUST A GREAT TIME THANK YOU GOLF NOW
Excellent course layout & value for money
Compared to another local course (Fernandina Beach 30 mins away) Laurel Island Links was a great improvement. Very friendly & helpful pro, good standard (although not high end) rental clubs (Top Flite mens & ladies), very good course condition and interesting layout. They were both the same cost - but for me, dont waste your time at Fernandina Beach (see other review).
One area of improvement would be the clubhouse and pro shop both of which need some investment -but the course is A and the staff are super nice.
Average Course, Pro Shop guy was unprofessional
I have played this course numerous times in the past and surprisingly it’s in decent shape. But the biggest negative is as soon as we walked in the Pro Shop the guy behind the counter was super unprofessional, he was yelling at an older woman in front of me because she didn’t know what her Tee Time was. And then he completely lost it when I told him my wife was riding along with me (not playing) I literally had to tell him to calm down. This is the second time I’ve had a run in with this guy. He’s always in a bad mood and thinks he’s better than everybody else. If this app didn’t try to correct my profane language I would tell you how I really feel.
Great course at a great price
The course was in excellent conditions, the staff very friendly, for a full review copy and paste to your browser

Bad Greens
This course used to have very nice greens and a good layout. I don’t know what’s going on but the greens were horrible yesterday. It appears that they may be losing some of them. The course needs water badly. I understand that we haven’t had much rain this month, but they still need to irrigate. They still charged full amount for sub par conditions.
