Wow!
Always A+! Grew up on one of the best courses in GA and this one is AMAZING
Good track
A fun little course that can be challenging, all the state park courses are great for the value. Just don't miss above the hole!
Great value for course in great shape.
Best value you can find. The Georgia State Park courses are in great shape, very cheap to play, and there is never anybody else on the course.
Best Value
For the money using Hot Deals could be one of the best deals in America. I live close, and I love the couse.
Like the course
In good condition and bunker were excellent... Will be back
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.
never better
Played the week after Masters and enjoyed the restored waterwheel and the 1946 bridge on the back nine.
Great value
Beautiful Course
First time playing this golf course. It is in a great setting and is enjoyable for any level of player.
Lovely course
Played here prior to going to Augusta National to see the Masters. Course was fun. Staff were all very friendly. Greens were in excellent condition and the value was great
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.
Thank you for playing The Creek! Glad you enjoyed the course. Hope to see you again soon.

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.

Course in great shape. Greens were smooth and rolling true. Great shape
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.
Thank you for playing The Creek! Glad you had a good time.
