StrongRecommendation-GolfNowValue

Laurel Island Links is in tremendous condition & course has responded well from recent rain. It's much firmer & dryer than Jekyll Island courses & worth just an easy 20 minute drive from the Brunswick area for its fine lay out. Overseeding is complete & is already looking nice. Greens were smooth, true rolling at a moderate pace. The Davis Love course design is great, offering several tee choices to present a challenge to all levels of golfers. It's blend of openness & natural scenery lends itself to a wonderful experience. Club house staff was friendly. Our group booked on GolfNow took advantage of a "Hot Deal". When you can merge the GN deals with this course, it's as if they're giving golf away. Don't miss it!

View down 1st fairway is spectacular

Golf was our reason for being there but hard to miss the alligator, wood storks and roseate spoonbills to name a few of the sights as well as the surrounding marsh/estuary yellows in sharp contrast to the lush green fairway. The rest of the course did not disappoint!

Wow... Worth the ride!!

I'm from Jacksonville, my neighbor shared he liked the course, I went alone to check it out! Wow.... Unbelievable price meant low expectation, I was so wrong. Great scenery, matched up with some great guys, and course was challenging and rewarding! Tough pin placement, but fun all 18 hole. Greens and tee box, very nice. Greens, pretty fast and plenty of slopes, can make you feel like a PGA pro or break your putter!! Enjoy...

Very Nice Course

This course is very nice, and in very good condition. There were a few minor flaws in the greens, and it would only affect you, if you had to play through that area. Conditions overall were very good.

We love this course and wish it was in better shape

We both love this layout and like to play this course but it really wasn't in that good of condition. The greens were very slow and since it had rained alot in the past few weeks, the fairways were slow and the rough high. We will be back but only after a week or so of dry weather. It was cart path only so it was a little longer, time wise, to play.

Thumbs up

I definitely would recommend playing this course. Pace builds as you go because the back nine is a bit harder than the front. Wide open fairways, few hidden hazards and well maintained sand traps. Had an enjoyable day.
