Hidden gem

This is my 6th year spending the months of Feb and March in SE Georgia. I play this here several times each trip and the course gets better every year. Its a bit off the beaten track but it is worth the effort to get there.

My review of the Lakes at Laura Walker State Park

The Lakes at Laura Walker State Park is an outstanding value and course is in great shape. Greens are fast fairways have lots of grass and the staff wants you there to play. Very user friendly staff and 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”.
