The Creek At Hard Labor State Park

First visit but not my last, what a great layout, and the surroundings as well as the course are awesome.

This course will make you think about what club you should pull out of the bag. I had friends come in from Louisiana and they were very impressed with the course and facilities. The course present many challenges and keeps you on your game.

Tee boxes were in horrible shape. Fairways were in pretty good condition. The greens were not in very good condition which making a true putt difficult

Played on 3/31/2014 after spending 30 minutes driving around looking for the address. The address on the site will lead you to a home with no golf course in sight I know the owner of that house is very irritated. Once we made it to the course (about 5 miles from the address on the website ) it was a nice quiet course with lots of wildlife (beware of the snakes we saw several crossing the cartpath or near our ball in the wood line). Course conditions were good the fairways were cut a little low for my preference but it was minor. The greens were pretty fast and looked as if they were recently aerated but were good. If you live on the eastside it's worth playing at least once.

Greens short and very hard. Greens slightly elevated and could not run ball up onto greens. If you hit the greens with anything other than a wedge, it went off the back.

Weather forecast did not cooperate with our playing plans. Only finished 9 holes due to rain. Greens were just sanded making it impossible to stop the ball whether pitching or putting. Pin placements were impossible given the sanded condition of the greens. A challenging course even under perfect circumstances.

Hard Labor has become an annual trek for us at least 2 or 3 times a year...the price is right, the golf course rarely disappoints making this well worth the hour drive out there.

If you've never played it...it's typical tree lined north GA course with lots of elevation change. Not long by today's standard, fairly tight, unless you're a 10 index or better you might have more fun from the white tees. The biggest challenge of the course for bogey and better golfers will be the greens. Stay below the pin at all costs.

Conditions were not bad, carts were on the course, but several holes were still damp in the drain off areas...greens were not at their peak speed but rolled smooth and and playable.

This was the first time I've ever been to The Creek at Hard Labor. It was a very fast paced course because we were the first people on the tee box. It was a nice course, but the only negative about it was that it was VERY MUDDY. Other then that it was a nice experience.

Middle of winter, and many in the country covered in snow. But here in Ga 70 degrees and day on golf course, is a beautiful day. All the tee boxes were in great shape, due to the previous rain and freak ice the fairways were a bit soggy, but playable and overall good for winter play. The greens were in good shape as well. The best part was the genuine friendliness of the staff and the welcome feeling they gave to all guest. Keep up the good work.

One of the best public courses to play. I will go back and play again when the fairways are not dormant. The fairways were pretty muddy. Overall it is a great course. You need to be at a certain skill level or you will lose many balls.

Although the course was empty (which made pace of play great!), this place will definitely get a return visit from me. Excellent for all level of golfers, this place is offers great golf, scenic views, and an escape from the normal packed country club. Visit and enjoy!

They double booked our 12:20 tee time. The other group got in line before us. While waiting on the 2 groups lined up on the first tee, the starter put a twosome in front of us. One of them told us to go ahead and tee off before them because they were beginners and played slow. When we got to the 1st tee, the starter made the twosome come up and go first. 40 minutes late teeing off and a 5+ hour round of golf, we barely finished before dark and the pro shop was already closed. We won't be going back.

Very enjoyable round. My first time at a state park course. Obviously some effort put into maintenance but on a limited budget. Gas powered carts were old.

Loved this course! It was in great shape and wasn't as hard as some reviews suggest. Super friendly staff and the waterfall and bridge on back nine were very neat. I will be looking forward to getting back out on this course.

Very friendly helpful staff. Course was in excellent condition and the Greens are in A-1 fast top notch condition. The course is challenging for me -a higher handicapper but would be the same for a lower handicapper. Many holes have elevated greens to
hit into. Water comes into play on some holes. My only negative is that the different colored tee box markers (blue,white,gold and red) are very hard to see on most holes--this is a minor objection
when compared to too the excellence for the rest of the course.

The greens were in good condition and although sanded in some areas, the pins were located in areas of smooth grass and the sand was not an issue when putting. The fairways and tee boxes were in need of water due to a lack of rain however,
very playable.

Get ready for a roller coaster round with huge elevation changes and a challenging design. The course was in top shape and if my ball was in the grass, good contact was assured. The layout of the holes gets tough because most of the greens have some sort of bunker protection and because of the green contours, these bunkers often have a pot face that makes it difficult to get out. Greens were fast but consistent. Holes were in the first position so there were plenty of downhill putts since most of the greens have sloped run-ups. The real key to success here is knowing your club distances and trusting them.

Great course, will play again soon. Greens were true.

The course is in real good shape for this time of year. Fairways and greens are well cared for.

Very friendly staff and a well kept course. I would suggest a friend play it.
