Hot Deal
I am by no means a golfer, but I enjoy the outdoors. Found this course on a hot deal and couldn't pass it up. The fairways were pretty hard so the ball carried well, not much forgiveness if you're prone to lifting divots. The tee boxes were normal for the price, a bit chewed up. The greens were, let's say, way under par. Sprigs of grass all over making the ball bounce with ever putt, and so much sand....... For the price though, I'd play it every day. The scenery was fantastic! Creeks, waterfalls, water wheel, animals.... just a beautiful place. I'm sure as the growing season goes on, the course will get better.
Round of 89
Great Day for Golf.
Great shape
Course is in terrific shape for the season, would recommend to anyone
Best kept secret
Best kept secret east of Atlanta! Great layout. Perfect golf challenge. Beautiful land!
The Creek at Hard Labor
I like playing this course. Has some nice challenges and character. They have addressed the bunkers and now they play great, that is if you like playing out of bunkers!! Soft fluffy sand if you have the misfortune to land it in there.
Near Perfect
Each hole was different. You really have to think about each shot. You end up using almost every club in your arsenal. I cannot wait to play there again.
Course was wet from day before rain & was Cary path only. Still, the course played well. Best course for the money that I’ve played.
Good course
In general, it’s a good course with challenging layout. Some tee boxes need to be repaired.
Great course for the money
Great course, well maintained. open layout that helps you avoid losing a lot of golf balls. Fun course, would recommend.
Excellent conditions great value well worth it!
Hard Labor has been improved greatly over the last couple of years. Great course in very good condition. Yes still needs small improvements, but’s is a diamond that is it final stag of polishing.
Great course for the money
We played after a big rain and it was WET soaked but thats golf. Tee boxes are good, greens are fast keep the ball below the hole. Yardage is off.
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.
The Creek
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.
Awesome
Course was as good as I have ever seen it , severe thunderstorm came through during our round and we cut the outing short . Will go back 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.
This course was in excellent shape.
The course was in excellent shape. From the fairways to the greens. Super clean and everyone extremely nice. Can't wait to book another round there.
