Laurel Valley Golf Club
About the club
Considered by some to be Dick Wilson’s consummate design, Laurel Valley Golf Club was founded by a group that included Arnold Palmer, who lived a few miles from the site. In fact, the group tried to persuade Arnie to quit the PGA Tour and become the club’s head professional and manager. Palmer reportedly mulled over the prospect for a time before rejecting it. Imagine how different the tour would have been had Arnie not become the dashing head of Arnie’s Army in the early 1960s. Instead, Palmer won seven majors, 52 titles overall and founded a golf design company that thrice remodeled the lovely Laurel Valley for major events.

The course is absolutely amazing—beautifully maintained and a joy to play. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. I want to give a special shout-out to Shad, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. His professionalism and great attitude really stood out. Can’t wait to come back!

It really doesn't get any better than this place. Having been lucky enough to experience a couple of stay and plays this year and last, I was very much looking forward to seeing what Laurel had to offer. My friends who have visited often said that it is a golf experience like no other - and they weren't wrong. The course was in amazing shape, even after remnants of a hurricane had gone through the day before. Service was top notch, food was great, drinks were better. I would say that the only drawback to me was that the lodges were a little outdated, but clean and accommodating. To some, that may even be the charm they were looking for, so no complaints here. Overall, one of the best places I have ever golfed.
