Hard Labor Creek State Park

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.

A bit of a drive from Duluth, GA, but was warmly greeted by the staff on arrival. For January, the course was in great shape including the greens. Very scenic and definitely challenging. The tee boxes could use a little love and care, but otherwise fairways and greens were a joy to play on. Probably a bit of a drive for most, but worth the effort once you arrive. Pro shop was very well stocked, and food is limited to mostly hot dogs and sandwiches. A very enjoyable round!

Great course layout. The staff was great. Bathroom was clean. Pro shop is nice. Cant wait to play here again.

Winter golf at it's best. Only complaint was the brutality on the greens, so fast!!! Can't wait to play this in season!

The Creek at Hard Labor has a very rural setting in a woodland state park. There are no houses and very little traffic noise. The layout is challenging without being overbearing. Course conditioning was generally good for November with excellent greens. The bunkers seemed over filled with a very fine sand. It is not clear what is the intent of the bunker setup. I find this to be a very relaxing course to play, but I typically do not play at Hard Labor during the peak season. The staff did not manage play during this round, but the course was nearly empty. Great value and highly recommended.

hadn't played here in two years. Greens were smooth and very quick. Course was in great shape considering its Nov.

Course in overall good shape even with dry conditions & little rain recently. Greens good. Improvements in traps a positive. Good course, good people, good weather, good day

I have been wanting to play this course for a while, and finally had the opportunity. You need to be on your game on this course. Fairways are a bit tight, but on some, you can miss a little, and still be fine. The greens are smooth, and putts hold their line very well. Speeds are tricky on the greens, a deft touch at times, is what is needed.

I played here Saturday 09/10/16. The time before was two years ago. I noticed lots of changes and improvements. I will be back soon. The course is fun with some challenging holes.

Money is being spent on the course. It looks great! They are in the process of replacing the bunkers.Trees have been removed and dirt areas filled in with grass. The greens were in great shape, but a little slow. Some of the tee boxes were so hard we couldn't put the tee in the ground. No rain for several weeks. The tee boxes didn't have sprinkler heads around them.

We had a 3:00 tee time on Labor Day. It was crowded but still enjoyable - enough shade so you don't roast on the course or waiting for the group ahead. I heard one of the guys say the 1st hole is the hardest 1st hole of any public course in GA. Try it - you'll like it!!!

I've been wanting to play this course for over 15 years and finally decided to take the drive out to Rutledge. I am so glad I did. This is a truly fun, challenging course . There are holes here that are unlike any I've played before. The first 4 holes challenged my patience and golf intelligence as I was not able to pull the driver out of the bag for any of them. The course plays very fair. The fairways don't give you severe lays. If you stay on the fairways, you'll do well. But that's not as easy as I would like.

Fairways are in good condition and the greens need work. The new sand traps are great.

State park courses are not what they use to be, there better, much better than most public play courses. Fairways, greens and tee boxes in excellent condition. All bunkers are currently being rebuilt with new drainage and sodded sides, front 9 done, back 9 being worked on. Not a house on course, very quite and lots of wild life. A great value and worth the 40 mile drive

Always enjoy playing here. Course was in good shape although the greens were a little slower than normal.

The fairways were supreme. The greens were a bit slow. An overall great experience. I will continue to make the drive to play this hidden gem.

Hot deal on Sunday for less money than a bucket of balls is hard to beat. Greens were recently punched so putting was an effort in futility. Lost a few balls into the woods/water.

Overall a great afternoon though

Kudos to the staff- the course in great shape.

Course located on a state park/ natural resource reservation and a long drive from where i reside.

Course has some challenging holes, but over all it a good course.

Not a long course but very hilly in spots. Make sure your putter works

Starts you off with the hardest hole on the course, a downhill slight dogleg right shot with a pond at the bottom of the hill and trees to the left to swallow anything that doesn't turn right. Second shot is uphill (at least 1 extra club) to a smallish green. Good Luck! Rest of the course is treelined, so the challenge is to keep your ball in play. Great course to work on shots for the Advanced player as Driver is only needed on the Par 5's and about 2 par 4's. Greens are in excellent shape for a Government run course, just great having fun with your friends and playing golf! A must play if you ever get the chance!
