Needs Some Work
The sand traps were unplayable. Fairways were good, greens: some good, some very poor.This course needs some work to bring it back to a high quality.
Not in good shape
Not playable at all. Certainly not worth more than $25 a round.
Well cared for Course
All around wonderful round of golf. Thanks to everyone at Laurel Links!
Great Course Overall
Love playing here but as all other courses ownership changes and prices increased almost $20. Only downfall is course does not drain especially on the greens which causes them to lose parts of their greens every year. There isn’t enough wrong with the place to where you would have a bad time with your buds though.
Greens are really lacking
Not worth the money to play here. Greens are in terrible shape, allow walkers early in the day which slows up pace of play.
Staff is friendly.
Great Value
Great Value. There are some beautiful holes. Greens are okay.
Great course overall
Aside from a few greens that were pretty bad the only other thing was the sand traps were like concrete. Other then that the course is great.
Nice course - still early
Enjoyed the course a lot. The fairways were in excellent condition. The greens especially in the back nine were a bit rough but I would expect them to fill in as summer approaches. Decent layout. I would not be surprised if the course conditions improved in the near future. Would play this course again.
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
