About The Lakes Golf Course At Laura S Walker

The Lakes Golf Course at Laura S. Walker State Park in Waycross sits deep in the heart of the Okefenokee region, offering one of South Georgia's most unique golf settings amid the longleaf pine flatwoods and cypress-edged lakes of Ware County. Named for Georgia naturalist and author Laura S. Walker, both the state park and golf course celebrate the region's extraordinary natural environment. The layout winds past the park's namesake lakes, with Spanish moss-draped pines framing the fairways and abundant wildlife — from egrets to deer — providing a wildlife refuge feel that no other public course in Georgia can replicate. For golfers who love the outdoors as much as the game itself, this is a singular experience.

History

The Lakes Golf Course at Laura S. Walker State Park was developed as part of the Georgia state park system's commitment to outdoor recreation in South Georgia. The park and course honor Laura Singleton Walker, a Waycross native and renowned Georgia naturalist whose writings popularized the Okefenokee region in the early 20th century. The course has served Waycross and Ware County as an accessible golf and recreation hub for generations.

Nature-loving golfers, birders, and outdoor adventurers who want a uniquely South Georgia golf experience in an extraordinary natural setting.
