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.

AWESOME Well-maintained

This course was awesome. Well thought out, well maintained; excellent signage to move you through the course (the best ever actually) Fun, mildly challenging and a gorgeous course. Would highly recommend. Get a late morning tee time and it will definitely be less crowded.

Great course

Other than the greens being a little bumpy this is a great course for all levels. A few challenging par fours but there are many chances to make birdies on some short par fours and fives.

What a surprise! The overall course was in good condition. The tee boxes could use a little care but it’s hard to complain about this given the other aspects of the holes all being positive. The price value was spectacular.
