Wish I Could Play it More
Delightful layout--WYSIWYG. Greens were in excellent shape for a public course. Delayed nearly 30 minutes, but after 6 holes pace picked up.
If I lived in the area, I'd play here often. Was also a great value!!
A diamond in the rough
What a nice surprise this was a great corse I was traveling home going back north stop in Kingsland and played it I will do this again I hope many times
Nice Saturday Afternoon
Two of us teed off at 1:37 Saturday trying to beat the rain and we did for 15 holes. After a 30 min rain delay, we finished up. Played behind a 5-some, but they moved along pretty well. Course is in fantastic shape for early April. Fairways are generous, bunkers have nice sand, greens were plush and a little slow. Even with the rain, it was a great afternoon. The guy at the pro shop was very courteous.
Course in great condition
This course is a "must" for golfers who enjoy wide fairways that are well groomed. Hit it straight and bunkers not an issue.
The greens are large and the the breaks can surprise you
Overall good experience
The course was very playable and still was challenging in its length. Great scenery. Greens wouldn't hold real well but maybe because of the time of year. I really enjoyed it, good value
Another Pleasant Round
We have played Laurel Island numerous times over the past decade and have always enjoyed it. The layout is eye-pleasing and challenging and each of the holes quite unique. The greens were in excellent condition this year as were the fairways and tee-boxes. Laurel Island has a very good range and practice green, making it a first-class facility in every way. Well worth the visit.
Grreat Layout
Always like playing at Laurel. Nice layout and good shape this time out. Pace of play was quite slow this round but still a good time.
Great layout
The course is great. It has been a few years since i've played there because they took it off of Golfnow.com. Now that it is back and the public is allowed we took advantage and made the drive up from Jacksonville. It is a beautiful course that is always in good shape. Tree lined fairways and a few glimpses of the intracoastal make it all the better. The greens are in great shape but aren't real fast. They were running around a 9 according to the pro shop.
Very nice layout
Our first, and hopefully not last, time playing Laurel Island Links. Nice wide fairways, well maintained bunkers and lovely greens are what you'll find. A very welcoming proshop and excellent pratice putting green was a great way to get us going.
We think all levels of golfers would really enjoy this course.
Good Day
Did not know what to expect, was pleasantly pleased. Average golfer ( whch I am ) can enjoy this course and the good golfer hitting from the blues or the tips can be challenged. Golf Now please keep this one on your list.
Fairways were tight lies everywhere
We enjoyed this course and found it a good value for this area. Due to winter conditions, fairways were sparse, making for tight lies everywhere in bounds. Greens were in excellent condition and play moved along in the afternoon when we played.
Great Features
This course has great features. It escorts you thru a neighborhood and around marsh land. The front nine offers a reachable par 4 and par 5. The par 3's are surrounded by water. The back nine is more difficult, all par 4's are long. You are forced to draw and fade the ball for a good score. Good course!!
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.
excellent
This course was excellent!! The condition was great, some of the best looking greens I have seen in awhile.
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.
Great Course
Love playing this course it is one of the course that I always play well at. The greens were in fantastic shape. The overall course is excellent.The staff very friendly.
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...
