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.

Get in to nature
This course is set in the best part of nature you can think of. The layout is difficult but is a fair test of golf. It’s just you and the natural surroundings of north east Georgia. The state park does a fantastic job of upkeep. Definitely recommend trying out the park and golf course.

Consistently in good shape
I continue to enjoy making the creek at hard labor, one of my rotational courses. Staff is always friendly, great range, and always paired up with nice folks. For the money it’s hard to find a better value in the metro Atlanta area.
