Laura S. Walk.er
STATE PARK GOLF COURSE
Laura S. Wa lker features a natural beauty rare in go lf courses today. Steve Burns' go lf design was able to preser ve much of that beauty by using native sand for th e many tr aps and waste areas. He also defined each fairway and landing area with gentl e, li nks-style mounds that accent the course's th ree large lakes. So natura l is the course - and so cl ose to the Okefenokee Swamp - that it's not uncommon to see an alli ga to r roaming the waterways. What better incentive to keep the ball in the fa irway?
