    The Creek Golf Course at Hard Labor

    The official name of this course is The Creek Golf Course at Hard Labor Creek State Park. Thanks to…read moremy Yelp friend and golf buddy Robin S for introducing me to this course and opening my eyes to the world of Georgia State Park Golf Courses (http://gastateparks.org/Golfing). There are eight of these state-owned courses and The Creek at Hard Labor is the closest one to Atlanta. It's a solid one-hour drive from my home in Midtown to Hard Labor (more with traffic). The drive is worth it if you have time to spare. This is a good course with an interesting layout and a friendly staff. When we played, the course was in good condition with the greens, in particular, in spectacular shape. And the tee times are a bargain. When I booked for our foursome, I found the best deal by booking online on The Creek's website at www.hardlaborcreekgc.com. We paid $41.73 (after tax) per golfer for our Sunday morning round. I saw tee times on GolfNow, but after convenience fees, booking through GolfNow was more expensive than booking through the course directly. I did not see any tee times on TeeOff.com. The Creek is located on the western portion of Hard Labor Creek State Park. During certain times of the year, the park will be closed to everyone but deer hunters for a deer quota hunt. I remember seeing a bunch of deer grazing at the driving range during our visit. Speaking of wildlife, we also ran into a raccoon that wasn't afraid of humans near one of the greens on the back nine. So, you're way out in nature out here. Fortunately, cell service is still strong on the course in case you need to use any GPS or golf apps. The Creek has an old, but relatively spacious clubhouse with a surprisingly well-stocked golf shop with reasonable prices and good deals on apparel, shoes, clubs, balls, accessories, etc. There's a small kitchen/grill area, a TV/lounge area, a covered back patio with a water cooler and cooler full of ice, and even lockers in the men's room (though I'm not sure who can use them except for perhaps members). The driving range, located across the street from the clubhouse, is nice and big. The practice putting green, located on the back side of the clubhouse next to the 9th green and 10th tee, had five pins and was in great condition. There course has five sets of tees with the blue tees being the tips at only 6,612 yards (71.4/129 rating/slope). We played from the next set of tees in, the whites, where the course measures 6,166 yards with a 69.4/125 rating/slope. I would say this course is about average in difficulty (maybe a tad above average) and is fine for most skill levels. Each hole marker has a helpful color layout and the top of each scorecard has a pin sheet so be sure to take note of the pin position for the day. The scorecard even shows green contours which is useful. The golf carts are Yamaha fuel-injected (if I recall correctly) golf carts. They were in OK shape when we played. I've played at a lot of golf courses over my lifetime and this is the first one I've played at that does not allow golf carts to be driven beyond the tree line. Why that is, I'm not sure, but every cart windshield has a sign to remind you. The course itself is fun. Generally, there is a nice mixture of holes. The signature hole is No. 5. It's a long par-3 (175 yards from the blues, 170 from the whites). This is where you'll find the actual water wheel that is featured on The Creek's logo. No. 6 is pretty cool too as you have to walk across a bridge over a waterfall (Rocky Creek) to get to the tee boxes. You tee off parallel to a large creek. On this par-4 hole, you'll play your approach shot next to an idyllic-looking fountain, so holes 5 and 6 are fairly scenic. The 9th hole is a beauty, a dogleg-left par-5 that plays downhill off the tee, but uphill towards the clubhouse. It's a grind and one of the more memorable holes here to me. The back nine starts with a dramatic downhill tee shot towards a pond and only a couple holes later (No. 12) you're contending with another pond off the tee; this time on a medium-length par-3 (152/139 yards, blue/white) with a fairly significant drop. On club selection, you should consider dropping two clubs. While the first two-thirds of the back nine wind and weave their way through the forest of the park, the home stretch (Nos. 16-18) consists of somewhat straightforward holes that zig-zag along tree-lined fairways back to the clubhouse. Watch out for the tricky dome-shaped green on 17. All greens are Champion Dwarf Bermudagrass.

    The Creek at Hard Labor is a fine, 18-hole, par 72 course on the grounds of Hard Labor Creek State…read morePark. It's one of several (I believe six) state park golf courses in Georgia and is the closest to Atlanta, being about an hour away on I-20 to the east, just past the town of Social Circle. As with all Georgia SP courses, tee times are available online and prices are quite reasonable, especially since this is a pretty decent course. I paid about $32 for a weekday round with cart and a small bucket of range balls. Range: Located across the street; balls are dispensed at the range with a token purchased at the clubhouse. The range itself is merely adequate. There are no signs indicating yards to the various flags, the chipping 'green' is basically a flat spot with long grass and I saw no practice bunker. It's good for warming up, not so much for practice. Practice green: located right next to the clubhouse. Decent, and the green seems to mimic what's on the course to an adequate degree. Carts: electric, no frills. My cart had really grabby brakes. Note that you're not allowed to drive the cart into the parking lot for some reason. So use the bag drop-off. Clubhouse: more substantial and better equipped than a lot of non-state courses. Lots of good stuff to buy and there's a small snack area. Restroom is clean and spacious and includes a locker area. The guy running the shop is very pleasant, and he has a squirrel that he feeds outside in the back. Rocky the squirrel mascot. One thing you'll find in the clubhouse is an excellent brochure with detailed hole descriptions of the course. In fact, that brochure (which slipped out of my cart somewhere on the course unfortunately) provides the best course layout and playing information of any course I've played. $3, but I got mine for free with the green fee. Note that they recently swapped the front and back nines, so #1 in the brochure is actually #10 on the course now. Course: I really like this course. There are lots of challenges while still being playable for average golfers, the holes are interesting and even visually spectacular (the waterwheel course, in particular), the fairways are decent, the greens are mostly in good shape if a bit bumpy (only one I noticed with a large blighted area). I can't really speak to the bunkers - I avoided them because of the recent rain (like a half hour before my round) so I knew the sand would be unyielding. But they look nice. I saw the marshal/ranger a couple of times while playing so it looks like they monitor pace of play. No beverage cart, so stock up on what you need. Recommended.

    I visited Bear Creek Golf Club in Monroe, Georgia with some out-of-state visitors, driving about…read more1.5 hours each way to get there. We were excited for a day on the course but a few issues made the experience frustrating. though I'll try to keep this fair. First, the driving range ball machine was broken when we arrived, and it took staff quite a while to get it fixed, delaying our warm-up. The course itself was in okay condition playable but a bit rough around the edges. However a couple of holes have apparently been set up as temporaries which feels like it should have been addressed improve the overall flow. Pace of play was the biggest letdown. Our round took about 5 hours and 10 minutes which I can live with on a weekend. but the group of 6-7 ahead of us was moving extremely slowly. When I politely asked the staff if they could have a quick chat with them to speed things up or let us play through they said no not much they can do and citing it being a busy day. I get that it's a small operation with limited staff and everyone deserves to enjoy their time but a simple courtesy intervention or allowing a pass-through could have made a big difference without ruining anyone's day. In fact this is standard procedure for many courses I've played at. On a safety note the golf cart we had was problematic--the brakes didn't respond well, even when pressed fully, and it would take a couple of seconds to stop. This felt like a real health hazard especially on the downhill sections toward the end of the course. That said the staff were friendly enough otherwise and I can understand they're doing their best with what they have. If they fix the maintenance issues and improve pace management this could be a solid spot. Unfortunately these problems overshadowed the positives for us. I'd suggest checking recent conditions before making a long drive.

    I drove an hour to be SCAMMED by this TERRIBLE course. The owner had the audacity to charge me $70…read morein the afternoon while everyone else in my group paid $45. As soon as I noticed and asked for a receipt, he refused, said "no refunds," and KICKED ME OFF THE PROPERTY. THE OWNER SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR FRAUD. THIS IS COMPLETELY ILLEGAL, AND I'M REPORTING THIS IMMEDIATELY. I'm filing complaints with: Georgia Attorney General's Office for fraudulent business practices & Georgia Department of Revenue for failing to provide receipts and possible tax fraud. This place is a scam, and I'll make sure as many people as possible know about it.

Cocktail hour a bit less successful. They had one bar outside at top of stairs to the hall. Everything out there, including wines, had gotten very warm to almost hot sitting in the sun. Bar area needs to be shielded from the sun, or better yet have both bars inside with the heat. There was an event cocktail in dispensers. It would have made sense to have one bar focus on that, wine and beer to keep the lines moving as tremendous wait, again at outside bar, standing in the sun and heat. If they had had the event cocktail a s all distance inside then it might have deterred allot of folks from sitting on bar lines. Not well planned. The hall itself is relatively sterile, similar to that of a hotel offering with a tad more character. The room was at a very reasonable temperature throughout the event. The appetizers - mini beef wellingtons, fried shrimp very good. The bruschetta ok. The main course - ok, but certainly disappointing. Old school menu of pot roast, mashed potatoes, squash, if and chicken with caper sauce. First, pork was so hard and overcooked that it was largely inedible. The sauce so thin that it didn't cling the the meat and veggies. The mashed potatoes cold. The squash so limp it was not appealing. The chicken decent but some of the sections still had blood inside and the breasts pretty dry, Also, no spoon for service to get some of the sauce on the meat to help with dryness. The best thing on the buffet was the rolls in y opinion. The place just seemed dated in terms of offering.

Do not walk barefoot in the sand unless you enjoy getting your feet sliced up and a bank breaking hospital bill. I had rubber flip flops on the whole time and told my family to wear theirs. Then, the whole beach area isn't open?? They cordoned off most of the water area, except for one sandbar and maybe 75 feet of water across from the entry sand area to the back area on the other side which narrowed to like 40 feet. The exposed sandbar which you were allowed to walk on had what looked like goose droppings all over it. There is very little space to play or wade without bumping into someone with it being cordoned off, and the section of water that is open just looks like a big bowl of muddy water because the cordoned off area is far away from the waterfall and streams that it doesn't get as much movement aside from people. Between the droppings all over the sandbar, broken glass, close proximity of multiple people in that tiny area, it's just asking for a visit to the hospital due to some infection. You do have to pay a fee per person and idk where that money goes, needs more maintenance. It's a shame, the beach area has potential. We will not be going back.
