The Creek At Hard Labor State Park

Great layout with lots of trees, hills and mother nature abound. Played 36 holes in 6 hours. Would've played more if daylight would've allowed. Back tees are less than 6700 yards but sufficient to afford some very long and challenging par fours. Way out in the boonies but worth the drive. This is a must play at least a few times a year. Decent practice range and putting green.

Played with brother for his birthday on 6/7/13 for first time with Golfnow discount. Best value ever for course layout and condition I ever experienced in 40 years of golfing. The course is truly a hidden gem. Scenery on several holes was remarkable. I would love to see the course in the fall when the foliage is peak. Several holes were very challenging and long. Will remember the outing for years to come. The Creek at Hard Labor is a must play. You will not be disappointed.

Tee boxes good, fairways were in very good condition but the greens were a little slow.
Overall a very good course.

Greens had been aerated, but that had no effect, as the greens were extremely bumpy and thin. The Bermuda grass greens had not come in yet.

Greens and Fairways were in great shape. The tee boxes need some work.

I was really disappointed with the conditions of the course. Traps washed out and not raked even thought it had been 3 days since any significant rain. Greens were in horrible condition, 8 or 9 greens sanded but no airation. Fairways also never punched this spring, hard as a rock with very little grass. Had not played this course in 4 or 5 years now I know why. I know it is a state course but they need to spend a little money on the course. Arrowhead Point at Lake Russell is in 10 times better shape and that is a State Course. What gives

As #1 is the hardest hole on the course, the start can be a little deflating if you don't warm up 1st. From there it is a fun and challenging set up to play. Even the "easier" holes have their pitfalls but all can be managed with a lot of fun to boot. I recommend this course mostly because the course itself is never the reason for a poor shot opportunity. It is in very good shape , especially the greens.

Beautiful course. The rumors about it having the hardest opening hole in the state are true. Challenging but very enjoyable. I'll definitely be back.

The course is in good shape. The greens are acceptable.

First of all its a beautiful course set among thick hardwoods and hilly terrain. Greens are dormant but in excellent shape. Quick and I very large. Bring your A game. Its a long course even from the white tees. Lots of water and well bunkered fairways and greens. Number 9 has a huge tree stuck right in the middle of the fairway. I was greatful to shoot 89. Its a beast but if you can control your teeshots opportunities for scoring avail themselves. Friendly staff and well worth the 25 dollars I gave for this beautiful and beastly course.

Great staff,fast greens,You have to know how to place the ball on this course

This is a Georgia State Park Course worth the drive. You will not be disappointed. Watch for deer.

Pace of play was a little slow as there were several groups who teed off just ahead of us. Course was in decent shape for this time of year. Greens were very firm and reasonably fast; there were some issues with poa annua and a few bare spots. Overall experience was good. Pro shop staff person was extremely nice and made sure we were well informed.

Great Winter conditions. Well maintained and clean

Cart path only. Not extremely wet. Greens are a little slow and gritty, but ok for this time of year. Tough but fair tract.

I like this course due to the fact that you have to use all the clubs in your bag. A few bunkers need to be renovated, the silt is showing under the sand in a few areas. Will play the course again.

One of my favorite courses on the east side of Atlanta. Course was in better than avg shape, especially for winter play. Staff always friendly. Clubhouse is going through renovations.

not sure what makes the state park golf courses so enjoyable maybe the fact there are no house on or around the course but in my eye that is a big plus or maybe that they are in a state park has something to do with them being so peaceful but i can say for sure that i enjoy playing all three here in North Georgia and you will too

Too Long and difficult ofr Seniors. They need to put in new tees. Also very Hilly.

The course was in really good shape considering it's January. The greens were super fast. The pace of play was great considering there were lots of golfers out on a Sunday. Everyone there - the staff and fellow golfers are always very friendly.
