Laurel Island Links

Where to begin; from the moment you step into the ProShop you are greeted w/staff that should be cloned to other courses. We had the pleasure of joining up w/Pat (not sure of his last name) from the ProShop one day and did he ever lay the red carpet out for us. While playing hole 9 he shared w/us that he lived on the hole & if we needed refreshments he would be glad to provide us with water, soda or beer. Keep in mind this was the first time we had met. Also, the waitress & her daughter who works the bar & grille are two of the most pleasant waitresses you could ever want to have serve you. I certainly don't want to discount the rest of the Staff as I get they are off the same mold as Pat & the waitress & her daughter that I mentioned previously. The course from tee to green seems to always be in good shape & the stunning views of the intra costal waterway from holes 2, 3, 6 & 7 is spectacular. We come from Jacksonville often to play this course & if it were up to me I would be playing it much more often than I do today, mainly because of how the Staff treats you. Pat is absolutely a Southern Gentleman and has professionally shared w/me several times that I should join the club. Not pushy at all; just a gentle soul with a kindred spirit like the waitresses. Believe me I would join the course in a heart beat if I lived closer than Jacksonville.

stopped on our way north. loved it so much we are considering wintering in the area. course was great, fast true greens and all staff were fantastic. a hidden jewel.

We've played LIL at this time of year for the past decade and always enjoy the experience. While there was a men's group of 20+ who teed off just before us -- and we were a twosome -- we found the pace of play to be quite good and finished our round in about 3 1/2 hours. As others have noted, fairways and greens are still 'greening up', although given the mild winter things are more advanced than usual for this early in the year. Excellent value and good fun.

Very nice layout, fairways need lots of water, very firm, nice greens except for 2 of them, looked like

fungus of some kind. For the price, worth a play.

Since it is early in the year, fairway grass is still rejuvenating, Some Greens have mold and rough spots but overall the course plays good.

The staff is very friendly and provides professional service. I enjoy playing this course.

Very welcoming pro shop and starter. Greens in good condition. Course has nice layout with reasonably open fairways and well placed bunkers and water hazards. Not the quickest pace of play. We have played twice, once in 4:15 and the other time in 4 hours. We played behind a 5 some yesterday without a Marshall on the course to move them along. We were delayed as a result of their slow play.

Best value in the area and a very enjoyable day! A very playable golf course without the unexpected surprises for those that don!t play there every day. Staff was great and the pace of play could not have been better. My favorite place in the area!

This course is just beautiful. Some of the greens were a little barren but overall just a beautiful day.

Greens were perfect.Tee boxes like concrete.Fairways,bunkers acceptable.

First time ever setting foot on this track. I'm grateful for being paired with the guys that know the course so thanks to them. Didn't score well lose a couple of balls which I'm to blame. The layout is great however there are obscured hazards (first timers use yardage book). The green are a little slow to my liken and a bit trick hence my score.

We live in Fernandina Beach and although we have lovely courses here, we find the drive to Laurel Island well worth it. The greens are a little sparse but roll well, but that is the only negative. Conditions are good and the course layout is just challenging enough for amateurs of all ages. We are regulars here and recommend the course often.

The 4 in our group enjoyed this course. The quality of the greens, and fairways was excellent. We appreciated the layout of the course. We suggest using a power cart.

Pace of play was great. Greens we're in great shape. Would like to see course yardage markers better positioned. Would definitely play again.

Everything was good. Except for people riding around the course that was not playing or just ball hawking. They had no regard for the patrons on the course. We were trying to hit shots and several times in your backswing someone coming through just out riding. And they were on golf carts and bikes. Do these people understand that if a errant golf ball hits them it hurts? I say this because once we were hitting approach shots and here comes a cyclalist from behind the green. Course should limit or monitor these problems. Otherwise good experience.

Loved the views. Greens were good. Fairways were in bad shape. Worst part was nats. We have bug bites all over us. Will not go back.
