Great shape

Best shape ever. A lot of demanding tee shots. 1-1/2” of rough makes course play long and difficult to stop the ball on the new firm and fast greens. Great test of golf.

Can’t wait to get back.

Great layout. Greens were quick and rolled smooth. Fairways were pristine. Can’t wait to play again and try to better my score knowing the course a little bit.

The Creek at Hard Labor Georgia State Park

The course is demanding. The greens take some time to adjust to because they are very fast. Some interesting holes with water. We would play here again. Good carts with GPS.

Fairways wonderful but Greens slick

Course in great shape. Ball sits up in fairways nicely. Unfortunately the greens were slick and ball would not check up. Several great shots onto greens and ball would roll off greens. Pack your frustration after hitting a great shot(s) as you watch ball roll through the greens. Otherwise it worth the trip and play. Btw, staff was great!

Long days here

Have played here twice, most likely never again. Pace of play was an issue on both occasions. Fairly common to have 4 different groups all playing the same hole. Course is not in good enough shape to demand $65 on a weekend. Tee times for a busy holiday weekend were spaced 10 minutes apart, doing this they don’t seem to care about pace of play.

Fantastic course with extreme difficulty

The whole course is in immaculate condition. However, the greens are so hard and dry that iron shots bounce over the green or to the back of the green. Greens are lightning fast, but fairways are soft, so not much roll out. The first cut of rough is thick and 3", so finding balls in the rough was challenging. If you want an incredible challenge, make the long drive to the course. You will be impressed with the overall condition, but expect to shoot 10 strokes over your usual round.

Only 1 issue

Course in really good shape, water in coolers on a hot day, would definitely play again & recommend. A Marshall to monitor playing time would help pace of play. The only other issue is the “rough”, thick & penal, can slow down play looking for ball bedded down or trying to hack out of it.

Great value

Stopped by to play this course because I haven't done so since I was a junior golfer. Still the great layout I remember and greens are in great condition. Only critique is the fairways and tees could have been mowed a little tighter, but they were full and in good shape also. Definitely worth the price and not very crowded on a Friday afternoon. Played 18 holes as a solo in 2.5 hours and that was even after running into a couple groups. Would definitely go back!

Fun Day!

First time playing course. Course was in terrific shape especially the greens. First nine holes play nicely, no real obstacles ... second nine holes are extremely challenging. Water hazards are dominant on back nine holes. Varied topography keeps play interesting. Will definitely play again.

Worth it

A lot of times I rate a course on how much it cost me to play. Have plaid $50ish fees for a course, but when it was played, felt like it was more of what I would expect to pay $30ish, because the course wasn't in good shape. Not the case here. Very enjoyable course, staff very friendly, course in really good shape, and fun to play. Worth the 2 hr drive over from west GA. for our semi-annual "lets go somewhere and play" trip. It's on our "yes, we'll play here again" list.
