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.

First Time Playing

Laura Lake Course

I paid through this app for 18 holes of golf including a cart. My wife which doesn’t play golf decided to go with me and ride along so I would not be by myself. Staff made me pay for a cart fee for her to ride with me. Total rip off, I really don’t think I will be returning to the course

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”.
