Golfer Reviews
18 holes at Laurel Island
The course has some challenging holes, but it is very enjoyable to play. We have played here several times when we visit the area and have always found it to be a great course.
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.
excellent buy
root a great price from golf now.com for a Sunday afternoon round. the greens were in good shape and I enjoyed putting on them. the fairways were OK but I wish the public would repair the divots. we used up both bottles of sand by the third hole.
Best public course on the Georgia coast.
The course is in excellent condition. Great value, very friendly staff. Always enjoy playing this course.
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.
This course offers a challanging expperince to all golfers.
Many of the approach shots can prove to be challenging. But, overall the golfing experience is well worth it.
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.
Nice find
Course was good, interesting holes, good conditions..... Pace of play was nice and the value was great.....friendly staff
Never Disappoints
As usual the course is in excellent condition. Staff is amazing! There are always improvements happening. If you live in the area then make this a regular. If you don't live in the area then take a ride and enjoy.
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.
Nice course for a very fair cost
The greens, tee boxes and the fairways were in great condition. Enjoyed the round. The only issue was they did not have a liquor license so no beer on the course or in the clubhouse.
It is a fun course
Interesting golf course, nice variety. January is a little cold, however playing at 12:30 (fire sale) was a deal
Classic Coastal Golf
Always enjoy playing this Davis Love course. It's a classic coastal golf experience complete with unique wild life and beautiful views. 2, 3, 4, and 6 give you great marsh views. Where the front 9 has that coastal feel the back 9 is the familiar Georgia lay out that winds through pines, oaks, and the occasional palm. Rolling and winding fairways, long approach shots, changes in elevation all make the back good challenge. 6 is the toughest hole on the course in my opinion. Double dog leg that leaves you with an interesting decision on your second and/or third shots. You will see what I mean. Staff is friendly. Club house is reasonably priced. Worth the $30 or so you'll pay to play even better if you can get a deal. I try and play this course once a month to once every six weeks.
wide open course
nice course in good condition, short on the front 9 a little long on the back 9. good shot making available. soft greens no flat puts.
enjoyed and went back to play 9 more for $15.00 nice play nice price
well worth a trip to play!
Course is in good shape.It's going dormant now but is very playable.Greens are in good shape and roll true.The layout is challenging to most levels of golfers but not discouraging to a lesser golfer.(i.E. 15-20 handicap)I recommend you try it!
Great track in excellent condition
We played on Friday at 11:00. No waiting at any of the holes. The vistas were a treat especially on the front 9. Staff went out of their way to welcome us and explain the layout. Tee boxes were flat and well conditioned. Fairways well conditioned, a brown color unlike what we are used to but good lies everywhere. Greens were close to perfect and 10.5 on the stimp meter. The restaurant looked great as well. Unfortunately we didn't have time to stay for a meal. Prices were good.
