Lakes Golf Course at Laura Walker State Park
Rating Snapshot
About
Situated at the northern edge of the Okefenokee Swamp, the Lakes Golf Course at Laura S. Walker State Park is home to an abundance of native plants and wildlife including alligators, gopher tortoises, and blue herons. True to its name, the course has three large lakes and the layout is routed through numerous varieties of oak trees and palmettos. The course is as challenging as it is scenic with heavily undulating greens, water hazards, and strategically placed bunkers. There is also subtle but tricky, links-style mounding defining each of the fairways and landing areas. The course strikes a nice balance of player-friendly and difficult holes but be prepared for the final holes on both the front and back nine, they are considered the toughest on the golf course.

Extra rider
An extra rider like if you bring your wife just to ride with you cost 26$ witch is ridiculous
Great Greens
Greens were in Excellent Condition. A much better deal than Jekyll Island Golf Courses, which have become pricey, even though the Island is supposed to be for “The People of Georgia”.
Hot
I enjoyed playing here. We started at 3:30 pm and as expected it was hot. Had a breeze blowing on the front nine that died down on the back. Pace of play was great
Great facility
They probably play this place once a month, however, I live two hours and 20 minutes away. That being said, I like the golf course that much.
Good course
This is a good course with easily and challenging holes.
Play was slow as there were several two-somes and one some too.
Great course, fun to play,big greens!
This is one of my favorite courses to play in the area. They had recently aerated and sanded the greens so they did not roll quite true like they normally do. And they had gotten about 3 inches of rain yesterday so there was ALOT of standing water, so it was cart path only the whole day.
The greens had just been aerated and sanded. We were warned in advance of play. Course conditions were good with the expected conditions of the greens.
Outstanding all around.
Yesterday was my second visit this year. The course has been in top notch condition each time. I really can’t say enough as to how great the experience is, everything is just how you’d want it from the clubhouse, to the range and the course itself. Easily the best value in 100 mile radius. I’ll be back!!
