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.

Beautiful course, great price, excellent staff

Golfed on Memorial Day weekend. Appreciate the attention to detail to put American flags at every hole.

Course was beautiful; green and clean. A few sprinkler heads were damaged and leaking but it did not affect play.

Staff was very friendly. They worked hard to keep water kegs full on the course which was a blessing for the weather was sunny and 94 degrees.

There are at least 3 other golf courses closer to me than this one, but I would rather drive here and play.

Thank you for allowing me to write a review.

Great value

The overall experience was great. The only downside was that a piece of equipment had leaked what looked like oil on some greens that had killed some grass. Pace of play was great.

Great course

This was my first time playing here and I really enjoyed it. The course was in pretty good shape overall. The greens have a few that are still growing in right now but for this time of the year looked pretty good. Fairways were in decent shape and the whole course is very well maintained. The state park does a great job on this course all around and for the price you can't beat it. I drove about an hour and twenty mins to get to this course and it was beyond worth it. Highly recommend this course to everyone.
