Poor management
This course is located in one of the most beautiful areas along the southeastern coast. The tees and greens were in much better condition than the back nine. Sand traps were totally neglected. Sitting water in most. Our t-time was at 1004, and the bar wasn’t open when we left for the t- off.
Couple of the back nine greens were sanded due to lack of grass. Not a lot and ball rolled well. Traps are terrible. Stay out!!!!
Course Play 14 April 2024
The course and greens are in really good condition. The green on #12 (I believe) has crab grass and needs repaired in places. The bunkers need cleaned and new sand added but other than that, the course played very well.
nice place
nice track. convenient on our way up to Augusta. bunkers poor condition, course a bit scruffy. greens ok. friendly staff. would play again next year on our way back to the Masters...
rough ride
The cart paths are extremely rough, some of the greens are in very poor shape, the signage is inadequate, and the landscaping other than the fairways non existent.
WE were very disappointed and will no return
Great course good price challenging and alot of fun
Good Value!
Had a good round here. Greens were smooth and true, fairways decent. Hardly saw any other golfers on course, even at 11am on a Saturday! Area for improvement would be traps, they need to be replenished with sand.
Would return, good value for the money!
Neglected maintenance
Almost all bunkers unplayable and filled with weeds and some water…. Need better drainage and a lot of sand
Cart paths very bumpy and concrete pads should be leveled
Most greens are good with a couple needing some attention
Sad sand bunkers
Layout was good
Greens good except a couple with notable
dead spots
Basically all bunkers were unplayable due to lack power of any apparent maintenance … little sand and lot of weeds. Should either maintain bunkers or convert them all to grass bunkers
great course
great course! Greens are excellent for the time of year I played it. Had a friend in from another state and he really liked it also.
Laurel island links
The course was beautiful and wide open. The layout was great . The only issue and it didn’t bother me was the cart paths are in dire need of repair.
Smooth & faster greens
Need to trim the tee boxes but the grass on course is coming in well. Played shortly after sunrise so the sand-knats were RUTHLESS - bring spray! Course is overall really good though - challenging holes and fast greens. I'll be back!
