Laurel Island Links occupies a coastal setting near Kingsland in southeast Georgia, where the landscape transitions between maritime forest and tidal marshland characteristic of the region's barrier island ecosystem. Davis Love III designed the course, drawing on his experience as both a touring professional and architect with roots in Georgia golf. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes and native vegetation, incorporating the kind of strategic design principles Love has favored in his architectural work. The course reflects the Golden Isles area's distinctive topography, with holes moving through stands of live oak and pine while offering views across wetland areas. Love's design approach here emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining strategic interest through green complexes and hazard placement that reward thoughtful course management. The layout works with the property's natural features rather than imposing dramatic artificial shaping. Laurel Island Links serves as part of a residential community, though the course maintains a focus on the golf experience within that context. The facility operates in a region with deep golf tradition, situated between the historic courses of Sea Island to the north and the Jacksonville area to the south. The coastal Georgia climate allows for year-round play, and the course benefits from the natural drainage characteristics common to properties in this sandy, low-country environment.
