Great front nine!

Great front nine with marsh views that leads to a back nine thru a neighborhood. Would loe to just play the front twice.
Course was in good condition but the wind made it tougher than it should have been. It was a three club wind and sometimes that was not enough.
Will return for sure on a less windy day.

A nice course to play

It was very windy so scoring wasn't easy. Holes layed out well. Greens were a little slow but rolled true. Sorry for food rating-- we didn't eat anything but couldn't get the rating off.

Laurel Island Links

We arrived before our tee time and were allowed to go out earlier than expected. I asked about the number of players and was told a 5some went about about 1/2 hour earlier, and I knew we'd catch them pretty quick. A single was out behind them. I asked about the possibility of going off 10, and he said as long as no one was coming down 9, OK do it. We got to 10 found a 4some ahead of us. Decided to take our time, and had an enjoyable 9 holes, under 2 hrs. On 18, the 5some arrived at 10, now 2+ hours for the 1st nine, and lo and behold, the single was sitting on the tee box, just waiting. We played the front nine by ourselves with not a sole on it. played overall about 3 hours. I am very much opposed to 5somes as more times than not they figure they own the course and have no obligation to let people through. The Laurel Oaks pro shop is way above average but the 5some issue needs to be addressed, even though it didn't affect us directly.

awesome

This course has it all. From blue tees, challenging on length and shot making. Great greens, lots of breaks but smooth role. Practice area grass range and great putting green. Those from area jnow of King And Prince at St. Simmons. This course has similar views, very comparable half the cost. Thank you...I should have played this earlier...

Great course!!!!

Had a 1:30 Monday tee time and the course was absolutely empty. A shame considering it was 76 degrees in late December. The course was in great shape for the time of year. Challenging but not intimidating layout. I rode as a single and finished just under three hours. Had an absolute blast and actually going back this Friday to have at it again.

Laurel Island

Very nice course with a great price on golfnow. The course is about average difficulty on the front but the back is quite long. Many of the bunkers were a little wet but otherwise the course was in great shape. There are some great views of the marsh and some wildlife. The staff were very friendly. I would definitely play here again.

Laurel Island Links Kingsland, Ga.

We have golfed from texas to numerous courses on the east coast. We recently found Laurel Island Links and it is a keeper. The course ranger looks after you like no where else...he makes sure you are not held up and stops by consistently to make sure you are enjoying your golf game. He keeps tabs on all players and the game is never slow and held up... You cannot beat the price..it is a win win. We highly recommend you won't be disappointed.

Challenging course

Have played this course before and not too long ago. It was in better condition than I've ever seen. Davis Love group manages the course now. The holes are challenging and play long. There are 2 holes on the marsh and the birds were out in numbers but no alligator this time. They have large greens that putted beautifully. Lots of sand, water and natural areas that all come into play. Best to be on your game when you play here, sneaky hard with fun par 3's.

Fun and Fair

I played this course twice in the last week. Condition is excellent. Fairways, greens, fantastic shape! Greens can be fast when they are shaved. Don't mess with the water or marsh. If you have a shot that you see slopes toward the hazard, steer clear! Do not underestimate the slopes! You'll see what I mean. I assure you this course will be a blast to play. Get out there!

Greens were in excellent condition for this time or any time of year!

8AM tee time on Saturday resulted in our being only ones on course for 2 hours. Course in best condition of my memory in last 5 years. Congrats to maintenance staff! Highly recommending to my friends at private Club when our course closed for maintenance or outside event.
