Hard Labor Creek State Park

They are no better than old ones.

Recommendation: Place sand boxes on Par-3 tee boxes

to repair devots.

New Greens are very appealing.

Green fees have increased. I don’t like.

The tee boxes still need improvement.

Suggestion: why not place “sand boxes with a scoop” on each of par-3 tee boxes. (They are in a terrible condition.) Players do not run back to his/ her cart to bring sand to fill the divot he/she has just created. Makes sense?

Think about it!

First month of redone greens. Still not smooth or consistent. But much better than the temps!

It takes longer than I used to be you know my age I guess

The course, itself, is a nice layout with reasonably generous fairways. Although the bermuda rough was cut fairly low it was nevertheless easy to lose a ball if it sank to the bottom and, by its own nature, hard to play out of. Together with the hilliness of the terrain, it makes for a challenging round of golf even for the lower handicappers. If you walk, you'd better be in great physical shape.

In the main the fairways and roughs were in very good shape - no real reason to play "winter rules." Like most public courses, the traps were okay, at best.

They have apparently changed the grass on the greens within the last 6 - 12 months. Give it another growing season and they will be spectacular. They are fairly good as it is now.

After months of temporary greens, the course now has new greens. Some of the greens had thin spots with a dusting of sand and were a little bumpy in spots. Overall, the new greens were playable but extremely slow. The rest of the course is in good condition, but like most courses this time of year, it has very punishing rough. Good value and worth the long drive to get there.

Course has gone through green replacement. We were excited to play the new greens. They still have a little maturing to go - but it was great to be there on the first day of use.

The “new” greens were not in great condition. They were super hard and over sanded. The course in general has not been maintained very well. The tee boxes were chewed up. Pace of play was pretty slow due to a push cart group that would not allow cart riders to play through.

I’ve never played here and when I first got a look the greens looked nice and so did the course but once we started the first hole we realized there were no greens and the greens were just dyed onto the fairway. There was no heads up either.

The good news is that the greens should be open in a couple of weeks. The bad news is until that’s done, it’s not a great experience.

The greens were closed in April and are still closed. The course is in terrible shape. The fact that they are still charging as much as they are is disappointing.

All the greens are temporary. I skip putting because putting on these temporary green would mess up my putting skills. Will wait until Oct. 1st when the regular greens are open with a 100% increase on green fees! Bad!

This is the first course I’ve played that I told myself I wouldn’t come back to. The majority of the fairways were so wet it was ridiculous. My waterproof golf shoes were soaked. Terrible landscaping. Water sprinklers randomly going off 6 inches from where we tee off on one hole.

Also I get the greens are being worked on, but even everything around them was not great, ankle deep grass in the majority of the fairways. I’ve played courses almost half the cost in better conditions. I hope whoever goes has a better dryer experience.

Course is in poor shape right now. All of the greens are being redone. If this condition was communicated before playing and cost adjustments made this would be understandable but this was not done. Just tell me before hand and allow me the option to continue or not.

Was not informed, but the greens are being redone, all holes are on temporary greens. Thus would not recommend for the next 2 or 3 months. Very disappointed that I did not know! Wasted my fees
