First Time Playing

Great Course! Challenging layout.

Had a great time at Hard Labor Creek. Would have given it 5 stars but the greens were covered in sand due to recent aeration. Would love to come back again!

Slow Greens

Enjoyed the course and round except greens were really slow and bumpy at times. Lost probably 5-6 strokes trying to adjust to greens. Otherwise great layout and good value for price.

Poor Greens

Always have loved playing Belk Park but the greens are in very poor condition.
Golfers should repair their marks for one, but there were also a few greens that are losing their grass.

Eagle Springs

Course was in fair condition... It has been better in the past. Tee boxes were in rough shape and grass in the fairways was not in best shape. Greens were fine. Enjoyed playing though.

Great Round

Recently played Belk Park and it was in great condition. With the drier conditions over the past two weeks the course was playing super fast as the fairways and greens were cut low. The greens were super fast. Probably as slick and true as I have ever experienced at Belk Park. It was a great ground and I look forward to returning soon.

Fun Round

Belk Park is always a nice course to play. The conditions were good, only complaint is some of the greens. If golfers would do a better job of repairing ball marks and not dragging clubs, etc. that do damage to the greens I would give this course a 5 star. Not necessarily is this on the staff, it's more on us as golfers to exercise etiquette around the greens.

Beautiful Day

Eagle Springs was in very good condition.
Greens were fast and firm.
Course is a little dried out due to lack of rain this month but very playable and good conditions all things considered.

Awful Conditions

Course is in disrepair. Many of the fairways have been lost due to flooding issues in the spring. Had to hit off of mud in the middle of the fairway on 2/3 of the holes.
Disappointing to say the least.

Hopefully, the staff will work to improve the course before it is completely lost. I will not be back until course conditions improve.

Needs New Managemen

Upone arriving to Spencer T. Olin, it was raining, heavily from a "pop-up" thunderstorm. The storm passed within 20 minutes, but we were greeted at the door with "course is closed, and you'll have to contact golf now to get your money back."
Clearly, Mary, who runs the office did not want us to play. I responded by saying "we'll wait until the storm passes." She was very rude and unpolite. Her response was, 'you'll have to wait 30 minutes because of the lightnight." I don't mind course rules, etc., but the tact with which this person treats patrons at Spencer t. Olin is very unkind to say the least. I was a member there last year and chose not to renew my membership because of the customer service of the staff. Really enjoy playing this course, but dealing with the front office is a pain in the neck at this place, and I will most likely not come back.

Needs some TLC

Really nice layout. Needs TLC. Many tee boxes were overgrown with weeds or just bare. Rough had not been mowed recently, along with the fairwarys. Grass was kind of high. Greens were also rolling very slow.

This could be a great course but it needs some work.

Fast Greens!

Really enjoyed playing Belk Park and will definitely be back to play again. The course is in very good condition, and will only get better into the spring and summer months.
Be aware.... The greens are BP are extremely fast. Be careful on your approach shots and where you land the ball. It will definitely roll hard and fast.

Great course and can't wait to play it again!

Great Course.. Be Careful if it Rains

Very challenging and enjoyable course to play. If riding in a cart and the weather is a little wet, be very careful on the hills. No. 10 is a very steep down hill slope, making it very difficult to control the cart under wet conditions. Be aware and check the weather before playing.

Staff very friendly, and the course is in very good condition.
