Great Day on the Course

Everyone knows it has rained “cats & dogs” for several days now. So when our groups tee’ed off today we were expecting ponds on every hole. But because vs The Creek at Hard Labor is so well maintained there was only moderate water on the course - love playing this challenging course. Staff always professional and friendly, simply can’t say enough good things about this course and the people who run it.

Great State run course.

Great State run golf course. Holes have lots of undulation and are pretty narrow. With the numerous tees, you can match your skill level. First time around is an adventure. unfortunately we lost several balls on the Bermuda fringes on the first few holes which was frustrating. One tall course was in great condition considering we are in a drought. There was some hog damage on two holes but It didn’t affect our game. Staff is very efficient and friendly including the rangers. The price is very good and worth every penny. I drive 45 minutes to play here.
