The Creek At Hard Labor State Park

Greens were not in good shape. However they posted that they are changing them over. Installed by October. Can’t wait because this is a friendly layout.

Most of the course was cart path only. It gets wet quite often, otherwise, a good experience.

After many many inches of rain the night before, I was out there most all day by myself. It was cart path only, water standing everywhere and the course was still in very good shape! I had a wonderful day playing at my own pace and took all the time I wanted

Losing place on the greens I have never seen it this bad

I generally do not get all that wound up about pace, but this round was the most frustrating I've played in quite some time. They had people so stacked up on the first tee, and the effect just continued throughout the entire round. What's even harder to understand is they had someone who was supposed to be the starter, but he really didn't serve much purpose. It seemed as though likely multiple groups arrived late but were just allowed in whenever they strolled up to the tee despite their actual time being earlier. I get it - you want everyone to play their round, but when people are that late, they need to wait for an opening - don't punish all the other groups who were ready to tee off at the appropriate time. The condition of the course has also seemed to slip noticeably in the last year or two. It used to be in great shape, but not so much anymore. Needs attention. I'm not likely to play it very often going forward, which I hate because it used to be one of my very favorite courses around.

Course very wet due to a lot of rain. Nice layout. Good price. Great staff. Doing a lot of improvements . Tree removal. A couple of greens need work.

The course itself is nice. Our only gripe was paying $50 then seeing the condition of their greens. The greens had crab grass in them and sand all over them from catching some sort of disease. Other than that, the course was not crowded and the rest of the course was well maintained.

Groups of 4 would not let single or doubles play through

I think the course staff must emphasize repairing divots
to everyone who comes to play here.

Great Day and weather brought out a crowd which slowed down play but the course is looking great and the staff is working on getting it back in shape from the winter storms we just had.

Conditions will improve dramatically in several weeks, but right now tees need grass growth but fairways are OK. Greens were so fast that downhill putts would not stop near the hole. Long downhill putts were lucky to stay on the green. Expect to have multiple 3-putts on these greens now, but the greens should be back to normal as soon as the grass grows. The course will be worth 4-5 stars then.

You’re in nature. No cars, houses, or noise. Just you and golf and a challenging course.
