Good layout course needs to control cart traffic as what little grass there is is very thin so like playing bare lies greens need blown snd rolled to be more consistent it is dormant and damage can still be done

Would love to see the state put some bad needed money into the course because it really is a good and fun layout a lot of the real back tees are not being used and a lot of them are in very good shape

Read how great the greens were and fast . Found this to not be true. No speed and we’re inconsistent. Little bumpy as they needed blown off and rolled. Fun layout

and all should give it a play . Nice tree lined with elevation change . I am sure I just caught the course on a off day

First Hole in One!!

I'm actually a member at Highland Walk in Royston ga , But I love to go out to play at Hard Labor Creek. I had a regular great round then hit my tee shot on the par 3 #5 hole. Pin location was near the front behind the bunker. Hit a sky hi 9iron shot and it landed on the front fringe and rolled on and rolled on in the cup. A group of 4 had let me play through so they were my witnesses. Always had a great time and round at The Creek.
