Great Shape

Been a few years since I played the Creek at Hard labor. The first hole is not the hardest in the state as they reversed the nines again. The course is in GREAT shape and all the staff I saw were very friendly. The rough is tough and the greens putting fast and very true! I won't wait as long to go back.

Fairways are always cut high, but other than that everything was great. Greens are in good shape and pace of play was good. I really enjoy the layout and we be back again soon.

Off the beaten path....a TRUE GEM!

Course was in impeccable condition, staff was extremely courteous, and the weather was a "Chamber of Commerce" day! This course is a true gem. Denis Griffiths got it right with this layout...a great combination of tough holes mixed in with some that aren't so tough, and some intermediate ones as well. Just a very enjoyable day on the course.

Course condition

I read a negative review written about a month ago. That person should go back and play the Course again. This course is in almost perfect condition. The fairways are almost perfect and the greens are awesome. You can trust your reading because there’s nothing that can deviate your putt. You must play this course and the price is a bargain. You get a lot more than what you pay for. I live in the Orlando area and just came here from a two weeks vacation in Connecticut.

Not what it use to be

Grew up playing this course, what happened over the years? Poor to fair conditions of Greens and fairways. I was really surprised by the attitude and lack of help from the older gray headed gentleman at front desk whom I believe to be the Club Pro. What a jerk.

Love the layout but conditions were not favorable. I pass a lot of courses on my way here, it is not worth the drive to be treated so poorly at a mediocre course.

Greens in bad shape

Great course layout. Staff was friendly enough. Greens are a 4 out of 10. Aerated and sanded within the last month and haven’t grown in. Lots of dead spots. Love this course though.

No yardage’s or targets on the driving range, about 1/4 of the balls were cut and should be thrown out.

Our foursome thought tee boxes & fairways were good, greens were airated & need to fill in. We were only able to play 9 because of rain, they did give us all a 9-hole raincheck. With all the weather (rain) issues we thought course was good. I think a lot of courses are suffering a little because of weather related issues. I would go again.
