Horrible Greens
The course track is great and the views are wonderful. The tee boxes and fairways are very nice, but the greens are horrible. The best way to describe the putting surfaces “greens “ would be to to use an expletive word! Honestly, all 18 round patches are suppose to be green. All kind of little grass patches and clumps. There is so much traffic on the putting surfaces you think you are on I-285 on a Monday morning ( pre coved-19)....it is fruitless to try to putt. I hate I burned my Avid Golfer pass ( $20) on this course but in retrospect my buddies paid $34 (golf now). Hope the other state courses putt surface not this poor.
Decent public course that needs work
Course layout is fun and challenging. Tee boxes and greens are in awful shape. Not worth the full rate until they fix those. Otherwise, a nice public state park course. No homes. Very peaceful.
Good, but greens were awful
Pretty self-explanatory. I really enjoyed the course, but the greens were sandy and hard as a rock. I know it’s the time of year where they’re prepping for the most popular part of the season, but these were baddddd. The rest of the course was nice and a couple of wholes were unique.
Greens
Greens were hard, baked, and incredibly fast. Chips would not hold on the greens and was automatic 3 putt if not within five feet.
Really bad greens!
I have played this course a couple times previous, so I am familiar with it. I am not one to harshly criticize but these were some of the worst greens I have ever played on. I’m not saying this b/c I missed some short puts. I played with my usual foursome and all of us couldn’t believe the condition of the greens. The rest of the course was in good shape but it doesn’t matter if you are putting on a surface that was about as hard as concrete. Would suggest calling ahead and ask about the shape of the greens before booking a tee time. I know I will before I ever play this course again.
Needs a little work after such a wet winter.
Narrow and winding fairways demand accuracy. Thick trees require recovery shoots from rough. Tees and greens need work, several greens have grass deficiency and a couple of them are devoid of grass due to being covered in water causing disease and algae to take over. Many areas still muddy/wet from so much rain. Still a good course to play for the money.
Worth the price and then some!
This state park course is outstanding for the price. Greens are fast and the course is well maintained. Layout is great!
Great course for the money
My son & I regularly play here. Staff is always super friendly. Course in great shape. Greens a little slick in some areas, but very playable.
State park golf
Course was in good shape considering the recent weather. The pace of play was good until the last e holes when the twosome I front of us got even slower.
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.
Set for Winter Golf
Played the Oder day a chilly but sunny day, right now the course is in very good condition for winter play. Greens in very good condition and fun fast . Enjoy
Great course
Course was in excellent condition for this time of year.
