Par 72
Length 6721 yards
Slope 136
Rating 72.6

There are two 18-hole courses available at the Hickory Valley Golf Club, the Presidential and the Ambassador. The Presidential is the flagship course and it is also the longer and tougher of the two. The layout incorporates nine of the club's original 27 holes. The Presidential is nearly 300 yards longer than its sister course at 6,721 yards from the championship tees. The golf course has a nice balance of player-friendly features and challenging hazards. The wide fairways are quite forgiving, while the large, undulating greens are framed with bunkers. The signature hole is the par-4 second, which gently doglegs right, requiring a long and accurate tee shot. You're not out of trouble yet though, you'll still have to face the heavily bunkered green that also has a pond to the right.

Surprised

I have played this course in the past and always remember it in really good shape. But the round I just played almost every tee box the grass was dead. And on on of the holes could not even use it due to the number of ground wasps that were swarming around. Needless to say it will be quite sometime before I play here again

Presidential is That

Really like his course and the people that run it a very friendly. We got here early and could go right out, clearly a light day. Fairways were in very good condition. Bunkers, well some were raked and nice while others need some attention (sorry, but if they don’t maintain them I don’t play them when they are hard pan). Tee boxes?well it looks like some fungus is attacking because many of them were poor condition. Got to about12 and the course play just slowed way down. The foursome in front of us were slow, but they couldn’t go anywhere because the group in front of them were ridiculously slow. By 15, we had enough and called it a day. Driving through the groups it was evident the cause as there was nearly a two hole gap between groups. Could have used a Marshall reminding them to play a bit quicker. But it was a gorgeous day and barley pops and dogs had are name on them. One hour later as we drove away, the group that was in front of us was still putting on 17!

Presidential Course

Overall, The course was in decent shape, however many of the tee boxes are just god-awful. Several of the bunkers could use more sand.. The staff is ALWAYS friendly there.

Early tee time made for a quick round

I had 7:30 tee time but arrived early and got sent out early. The course was setup for a junior tournament that day, so it was in great shape. Greens really rolled true. I was finished in less than 2.5 hours, which is a rarity these days even playing solo.

Golf

Love Hickory Valley. Played here countless times for 20 years…

Nice overall cost for golf on a Sunday; Fathers Day.

Fairways and Greens nice! Greens - fast and tricky - awesome work!

Slow pace - hire a ranger, legit pace is 4hrs or less. I don’t appreciate it wherever I golf and I don’t appreciate the slob golfing in jeans, screaming unchecked. Apparently jeans on Sunday is fine. Undo this.

Staff resolved a transactional issue with payment that was not their problem, with ease. Thank you!!

A lot of food and bev - cheap - awesome!!

Don’t appreciate music on the course. This needs to be enforced and undone with. It’s the gentlemen’s game, its not Covid Golf anymore - taking peoples money, and this isn’t LIV Golf

Love your course but please do better.

Awesome course

Keep it on the fairway anything beyond that point is unforgiving. Beautifully scenic course though just the right amount of hazards and obstacles to test a player.

I bring your bug spray!

Played a Friday twilight round on a mostly empty course. Flat and walkable for those so inclined. Several creeks which wind through the course made things interesting but probably also support the healthy population of biting insects. Conditions were good. Rough was thick, but not unfair. Balls in rough were sometimes hard to find. Nearly all the greens were postage stamps. Staff was more friendly than some reviews would lead you to believe.

Needs work

Course was okay but the sand traps were horrible

No rakes

The group in front of us was so slow that it took an hour to play the first three holes. They let us play through after hole four. It was a five hour round

What A Tough Course!

The rough will eat you alive, 2.5" to 3" of thick dense rough. The layout is very challanging with slow undulated greens that will make your head spin. The tee boxes suck so bad, they need to be mowed down to 0.25" to 0.50" big time.
