Laurel Island Links Designed by Davis Love III in 1996, is located in Kings  land
and owned by the city. This may be one of the best muni courses you will
every find. This course, carved out marshland, but has rolling terrain.
It is in harmony with nature. A definite challenge! It is rare when you
find the combination of affordable rates, easy public access with a
challenging golf layout and in country club condition. The course design
takes advantage of heavy woodland tracts, stretches of salt marshes and
natural wetlands. It is built along the banks of the Crooked River as it
works it way to the Atlantic Ocean. If you are able to negotiate your
way through the first 17 holes, then beware of the 18th. Measuring 466
yards, this par 4 demands a long accurate tee shot and an approach to a
tricky putting surface protected by water on the left and two huge
bunkers left and front. DL3 designed his course much like his game.
Straight up and hard, but fair, just like Davis. Osprey Cove Golf Club Rated 4 stars by 
Golf Digest, is a meticulously groomed links-style Mark McCumber
creation. Located in St. Mary’s a short hop down I-95. Rated the #1
Daily Fee Course in Georgia by Golf News. It is a joy to play! Set among
Georgia Pines, pristine salt marshes and a variety of wildlife, this
track offers a panorama of natural beauty. The greens are relatively
small and surrounded by small bunkers. It is likely that you will stray
into a sand bunker rather that water hazards. Overall the course is very
fair with tree-lined fairways with generous landing areas. The signature
hole is #18, a 500-yard par 5 that requires a carry over a marsh area in
front of the green. This 1990 creation also features inlayed stone cart
paths and wooden bridges, which blend into the rustic scenery. At the
end of each nine, you’ll find yourself atop the unique 9th and 18th
double green. Pretty cool!

to the general public on a limited basis. Trident Lakes, designed by
Arthur Hills in1989, is the best-kept secret among military courses as
well as area courses. It is very challenging and with the winds and the
water coming into play on ten holes, it becomes difficult for even the
scratch golfer. The design is absolutely beautiful and the course is set
in perfect balance with the wildlife around it. This is an exceptional
experience! The 544-yard par 5 finishing hole features a dogleg left
fairway with water running the entire length of the right side. The
course is in the process of being re-evaluated because I guarantee the
current rating of 70.9 and the slope of 125 will rise to much higher
numbers. Don’t be fooled, it’s a test! Don't even think about taking a
submarine ride.
