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.

Greens too fast
It has long been my opinion that they do not keep enough turf on the greens for winter and early spring golf. Had two uphill puts today on two different greens that missed the hole and rolled almost back down to my feet. There is too much slope on some of the greens to have them cut so close, especially in the winter. Other than that, the course is in good shape.

Great Time
My wife and I have been doing a date day every week at a golf course since Covid. Although she doesn’t play, she enjoys getting “away”, and the safeness that a golf outing affords. The beauty of this course puts it as one of our most popular. The staff was very accommodating and made sure that we enjoyed ourselves. It made the 1 hour and half drive worth it. We’re looking forward to a return visit soon.

Cold Day
Played on a cold day which ball flight was limited that left this course playing a longer. Course conditions was okay but greens were a little fast. The 15th green had no grass just seeding look like. Played here numerous times but not at this time of year so this course does looks better in the spring/summer.
