Hard Labor Creek

Been playing here for about 4 decades. About as good of conditions as I have ever seen. Not great but pretty good condition for sure, still a little early.. Quiet course with no houses, or roads just peaceful woods and wildlife.Nice layout.

Friendly staff with exception of the Pro who was not.

Greens in great shape

Like this course due to it's setting. No houses very little street noise. The greens were rolling fast and true. The bunkers have been rebuilt; with some bunkers removed. Well done. Bunkers are now very playable though they did take some of the slope difficulty out by taking lips out. I've played this course a few times a year for the past 20 years. The course is in the best shape since I started playing it.

Golf on Tuesday

It's a little bit of a hike from Atlanta, but we've made the trip a couple times. Overall the course was in decent shape for mid February. The greens were fast and in good shape. We explored a good bit of the rough and some on the non fairway areas needed some attention. I'm not sure if this is due to the time of year or just how the course is. Staff was great and super friendly. There were several singles and twosomes that caught us throughout the round and that we opted to let play thru. I chalk this up to Tuesday. We will go back.

Greens in great shape. Still fast but rain has really softened them, Fairways pretty thin of grass, mostly because of the drought this past summer, The biggest complaint I always have with this course is that they do not move the tee boxes often enough. They are usually very worn. Always a great place to play though.
