II Hard Labor Creek 2 miles north oj RUlledge, off 1-20, exit 49. Barely an hour east of Atlanta, this gem is worlds away from the normal City golf experience. The course is surrounded by acres of \\ oodlands, with the meandering Hard Labor Creek challenging) ou on five of the holes. This same creek creates the gorgeous waterfall on the courses signature hole, the par 3 number 5. As Golf Digesl stated, Hard Labor Creek Golf Course is definitely a "gem worth finding."'"

1-7510 exil18,jollow US 82 easl lhmugh Waycmss. 0,; 1-95 10 exil 7.]01l0w US 82 west 47 miles. Laura S. \~alker features a natural beauty rare in golf courses today. Steve Burns Golf Design was able to preserve much of that beauty by using native sand for the many traps and waste
areas. He also defmed each fairway and landing area with gentle, links-style mounds that accent the courses three large lakes. So natural is the course - and so close to the Okefenokee Swamp - that it's not uncommon to see an alligator roaming the waterways. What better incentive to keep the ball in the fairway?
