great Friday round

It was a little wet, but to be expected after all the rain the last few weeks. Tee boxes and greens in perfect shape. Greens were hard and FAST! fast as i have ever seen them. Saw that they are raising rates by 5 bucks....I guess that is fair considering the shape the course is in right now. Keep up the good work folks! I will be back.

State course always a pleasure

Laura Walker State Course is always a pleasurable experience.
First the staff always welcomes you. Nice!
The tee boxes, fairways and greens are in great shape. The fairways are generous and plush. The greens are large and pin placements are challenging. Two puts are welcome, there are 3 putts out there, be careful
Enjoy,

State park public course

For a public course the state is doing a great job. Fairways were lush and greens rolled true. Played 3 times this weekend and pace was great, under 4 hours each time.

great condition

Course is in really good shape. Only concerns is that the green would not hold a ball at all. I understand the greens are fairly new so I am sure that is why,. Will definitely play again!

Hidden gem!

This is an outstanding course in an area that doesn’t have a lot of courses around. The grounds are kept in great shape and you can tell the staff has put in the work to keep it as so. I will definitely be playing this again!

Great Public Course

The course is in really nice condition, the grass is cut, the rough is not too severe and right now the greens are a little on the slow side. There is a sign saying the greens will be aerated next week (21st) so the putting will be bumpy for a couple of weeks, but overall this is a great course to enjoy nature and the game.

I visit and play The Lakes a couple of times each year, staying at the nearby park campground. It’s a nice , fun curse. Not as lush this year due to very dry conditions. I understand the greens were regrassed recently and they were very firm and the grass is a bit thin. Hopefully, they will grow in nicely as we get into the summer rainy season.

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.
