Never Disappoints

I make a few trips every year up from Jax to play this course....it is my favorite in the entire area. Love the seclusion in the state park (no houses, etc.) and the layout is just so fun to play. I will happily to continue to make the trip up from Jax, this place is a true treasure!

What a great course!

I was in town for a meeting and played this course…what a great layout! The course is in great condition…the fairways and greens were great! If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely make a visit and will tell others to play as well!

The Hidden Gem in the swamp

45 minutes west of I-95 near Waycross GA lies Laura Walker State Park. I have played this course so many times and it never disappoints. The course is fun, fair and reasonably priced, well worth the drive. You will see deer, gators and bald eagles. Fairways are in above avg shape, tees are in average shape and the greens are big, receptive, and roll fairly. Play it if given the opportunity….
