Golfer Reviews
Slow, slow, slow
Played on the day before Thanksgiving, and the course definitely had more golfers than usual. An extremely slow foursome held up at least 5 groups behind them, the round took nearly 5 hours. No marshalls, no course personnel to keep things moving.
Greens were in very good shape, as were most of the fairways. The pace overshadowed how nice the course was.
We love the layout, wildlife and scenery. I proposed to my wife 10 years ago on number 17!
The course is in great shape with very light top dressing on the greens. The course is well maintained and you will love the backdrop of the marsh surroundings. Playing from different sets of tees changes the challenge. Book yourself a round on GolfNow today and Enjoy!
Very nice course.
I love the undulating greens, the wind was blowing 18-25 out of the NNE and damp out. But I love playing conditions like that. Grass is starting to go dormant but you can tell the course is kept in great shape, very little stray grasses in the wrong place and the bunker edges were trimmed/edged. Great staff from the front of the house to the golf maintance Team to keep the course is such great condition. I worked for the golf maintance staff at Snowshoe and for the Homestead Resort in the past so I have a understanding of how a course should be kept in shape. Great job Ladies and Gentleman.
Excellent
This is a beautiful design that blends well with the natural setting. Greens are nice, the course is playable but challenging, with a good mix of length and risk-reward. The only "problem" is that the "signature" holes come on the 2nd and 3rd holes instead of late in the round when they would be more memorable. Aside from that, Laurel Island is a fun, challenging track of great value if you are nearby.
Good course, just a tough day of golf
We played on a day when hurricane Sandy was off the east coast, so it was EXTREMELY windy and made for very tough holes. The course was in good shape and a steal for the price we paid.
Beautiful Layout
This is a very playable yet can be challenging at the same time. Fairways are ample but some shots to greens require accuracy and elevation control on distance. Greens rolled very nicely.
The course was in great shape. There has been a lot of rain lately and the course had a few wet spots.
This course is a challenging course that is worth the short road trip.
Greens
The greens are in awful shape, it's a shame too because I love this course. Everything else was in decent shape, but the greens are really struggling.
the greens are looking good!
I'm happy to say the course is being brought back from, what appeared to be,no return.I played on 09/27 and the greens were in good shape.Heading towards real good shape.
The course is enjoyable for all skill levels.(I am a low 80's golfer)
If they continue to maintain the course with the dedication they appear to have,it will be a great course to play!!
Excellent Links Course
Laurel Island is an excellent links course. Well maintained and good layout. Fun round of golf.
