The Creek At Hard Labor State Park

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.

Especially considering "winter conditions", Hard Labor Creek was in terrific shape, fareways & greens. It is always a very challenging course, with narrow sloping fareways, but the greens made it even more challenging. They were fast. My foursome was very pleased with the course conditions, and the very fast speed of play......................it was wide open.

Another group was finishing the front nine as we started, otherwise the course was ours. Dormant grass, as expected at this time of year, but conditions otherwise like mid season. A fun and challenging course, pleasant staff and very nice, well stocked clubhouse.

love to play this course, every hole is a challenge for the average golfer I will continue to play this course.

I enjoyed playing this public course as it had a lot of the featrures I find on some of the really challenging private courses. The greens were fast with very few straight puts, the fairways really made you think -- distance versus accuracy, hold up or go for it and the layout was awesome.

Greens are in excellent shape. Greens are very quick.

If you have not been out to Hard Labor - you are missing out. I have yet to find a more peaceful and beautiful course in Georgia, although I hear that Highland Walk at Victoria Bryant (sister course) is also stunning. Do yourself a favor and make the drive out. The course boasts the #1 hardest starting hole in the state of Georgia I believe - and the rest of the course is a challenge as well.

The first hole on this course is ranked as one of the most challenging holes in the state of Georgia. Because the course is narrow or at the very least, non forgiving, for golfers trying to improve their game, it is a great "teaching" course. This course is scenic and the staff are always friendly and offer tips when asked. My friends and I play it as often as possible. Have a great golf outing!!!

Beautiful course with a lot of changes in elevation. The greens are among the fastest that I have played.

This course is on the more challenging side of the average golf outing. The course plays long, especially the 452 yard 16th hole (I play the whites). The first hole is a 426 yard downhill dogleg left over water to a raised green...brutal! They claim it is the hardest starting hole in Georgia...I believe them! The fairways are in good shape, no bare spots. The greens are pristine and fast! The course was designed by Dennis Griffiths who has designed many of the more challenging courses in Atlanta. ..You need to play all his designs! The scorecard is excellent with layouts of all holes pictured, and green designs. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The only negative is its farout location...but maybe that's a positive for those not wanting crowds.

Staff and course were just great, will play there again, fairways and greens were in good shape

Maybe a 12 on the stemp .....really didnt spin on the green but did hold well....couple tee boxes being repaired in spots ...very good shape~! 10/24/12

The Creek is a track that, even from the white tee's, can "beat you over the head with a yardstick!" It's not so much the yardage on the card....its the up and down lies and a number of greens that are above the fairways on your approaches. It's the type of golf course that requires you to know where to hit it.... so if you are playing it for the first time, it would be in your best interest to play with someone who is familiar with it....if not, you'll be back to try it again! Greens are in good condition as are the fairways. One problem.....watch out for numerous "fireant" mounds. The Creek at Hard Labor is located in a Georgia State Park and can be played at reasonable rates because of that.
