Donkey
A lot of bald spots on greens, slow & in rough shape!
A decent amount of the greens are in terrible shape. The course seems to be pretty well taken care of other than that.
Laurel Links nice course
Laura links is a nice course. My wife and I had a great time and the staff was extremely nice. Could do with a few less gators. Seems like every hole had water had a gator on it. We will definitely play it again.
Newly re-worked
Bunkers were newly re-worked with white sand and some redesign. Only negative was greens need some work, but understand that is coming.
Nice course nestled in a lovely neighborhood
Our weekly group decided to play somewhere other than our usual course and settled on Laurel Island Links. The course was challenging and a lot of fun. Being a neighborhood course, some fairways felt narrow, but luckily for me, my golf balls didn’t stray too far off course. The greens were fast but fair. We will definitely put this course on our list to play again.
Play was a little slow. The greens could use some work!!
Good course
Overall, the course is good. The greens are not in very good shape though.
Worth the money
Course is challenging, that particular day they had thrown sand on greens for maintenance but I'm sure that's why round was discounted. Staff is very friendly
Will definitely return
Very nice course, in good condition for February. Very friendly staff. Pace of play was slow only due to following a senior league. In a beautiful neighborhood. Wil definitely go back.
Needs support
The layout was good. Course has a lot of potential but needs infrastructure improvements and additional daily maintenance. The carts are older models without gps. The cartways are heaving and broken. There were several days of leaves and pine cones in fairways. The greens were bumpy. The bathroom on the course was dirty with toilets plugged. Pace of play was good, 3:45. Lots of house construction and burning of brush when we played. Not going back.
Good first time visit
First time at this course although had been told by others that it was good. About 40 minutes from Amelia Island. Course was in very good shape for mid February. Played behind a senior men's league which were very slow. Enjoyed the round, would definitely go back.
