Hard Labor Creek State Park

I booked the tee time then started to regret it after reading the reviews. I thought I’d be putting on dirt all day. But there were only 3 greens on the back nine that were in really rough shape. The green on the front were pretty nice other than an occasional spot on the edge of the green. Fairways seemed pretty good all around. You’re not going to beat the lay out either. I’ve been playing here for 10+ years and it’s in similar shape as it’s always been. Definitely worth playing.

course in really bad shape.

pace of play terrible also.

never seen it this bad, i won’t be back anytime soon.

weeds all over the course, tons of bare spots in the fairway.

My first time playing. Course in general was nice. Played on a Thursday morning. Not crowded. Took my 8 yo son so we started on the back 9 so we could play slow. Tees are in ok shape. Fairways are also decent. The greens are in rough shape. It’s still pretty nice for a state owned public course. I’ve played worse. If you are expecting destination golf resort quality, you will be dissatisfied. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I recommend to locals looking for a nice place to play.

I've played this course on and off for over 15 years, and this was the worst I've seen it. Most of the greens were somewhat below average, but several were terrible. The fairway grass was thin, and some of the tee boxes were nothing but dirt. I really like the layout and pace of play, but I'll think twice before soon going back.

Played here on a Sunday afternoon. Pace was unusually slow. No ranger keeping track of groups holding up the course. Had a group try and jump in front of us on 15th tee box. Greens are mostly dead spots. Fairways are thin and very tight. Whole course could use some watering. Tee boxes were hit and miss as to whether there was grass. Staff as always was friendly in the clubhouse, but were absent on the course. In all don’t waste the drive to this remote course.

Love the course. The pace of play was a nightmare!! No Ranger to push the two foursomes in front us that kept hitting multiple tee shots. These 8 guys kept mingling with each other on the tees as well. We quit after 14 holes and 3-1/2 hours. Will

Re think the times I make t times in the future!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the Monroe area, probably the best maintained course around. Especially considering the price.

Hard Labor is my favorite layout of any course. Challenging but fair if you know how to play it. The scenery can't be beat. You are in a state nature park! My only complaint is the greens. They are so bad... I was hoping by Spring they would grow in but they are almost unplayable. About 4 greens are patchy and more sand then grass. I don't understand why the staff won't seed the greens and work on getting them better. Could easily be a 5 star course with attention to the greens. Love the course overall.

The course was decent. I bought a hot deal for a mid day tee time. The greens were challenging but they were bumpy, poorly maintained and were infested.

Most all fairways were in poor condition but 16 of 18 greens very bad condition also tee boxes in poor condition.......don't waste your money!
