I made the 90 mile trip to try another state park course, and it was well worth the drive. Little Ocmulgee was in excellent condition and quit the challenge, especially with no course knowledge. The layout includes elevation changes, tight doglegs, and some well protected greens.I really enjoyed the elevation changes,typically playing in the southern, swampy part of the state I'm ususally playing somewhat flat courses. The pace of play was excellent the day we played, teeing off at 10:30 and encountering only one group in front of us (they let us play through). Don't know if thats typical, but it was nice that day. The course isn't long, but there were many tee shots that i had to hit less than driver. Ball position from the tee was critical on many holes, which are doglegs, you really have to stop and think on this course before just blindly grabbing a driver. I believe i coulda shot a little lower if I had more experience there (84 that day). Anyway, I definitely recommend this course to all. Again, with the Golfnow hot deal, one would be out nothing if they make the trip and tee it up.

You'd be hard pressed to find better golf anywhere with a price under $40.00 (really cheap when booked with Golfnow-$14.00). When the extreme weather we have here in south ga hasnt taken its complete toll, the course will be in excellent condition. It can be quit a challenging course, unlike most courses under $40.00 that simply allow you to slam a driver out to straight away, wide FW's. It isnt very long, but if shots stray to far right or left it is a penalty (gone in the woods and water!). The best feature, IMO, is the solitude the course offers; no homes, highways, trains, etc, just you and the course, with each hole seemingly all by itself as well. I highly recommend this course to every golfer out there. You're doing yourself a disservice if you love golf and dont give The Lakes at least a single play.

My son and i played this course for the first time today. WOW! I couldn't believe the condition of the course, as it relates the price to play. I play a lot of "value golf"- you know the price range: $25-$50. This course had me and my son thinking we were playing on a PGA tour course; very, very well conditioned. It is a challenging course, a bit tougher due to the fact we had no course knowledge, but still throughly enjoyed our round anyway. It was extremely hot & humid, but hey thats south Georgia in July (just wished there could've been at least a speck of wind..it was HOT!). I definitely recommend this course to everyone, at $20.00 (online booking rate) there's no reason not to try it.
