Gotta hit it straight!

I played this course for the first time and it was a beautiful but challenging course. Being in the foothills, there was some elevation change, but the most noticeable item was the slope of the fairways. Almost all of them sloped significantly left or right. Being quite dry when we played, it was difficult to hold the fairway, even on a decent drive. Otherwise, the condition was typical for a $50 weekend round. Good greens, tee boxes, and fairways, with some sparse areas off the fairway. The young man working in the pro shop was super friendly and made us feel very welcome. I'd definitely come back and play this course again.

Yes and No

This course has been bought and sold a few times. The condition has come and gone many times also. This course has prime location but the course doesn't warrant the giant price tag they want to play here. If you don't book a hot deal stay away. The course is in decent condition but is worth about 35 weekend and 30 during week. The carts have a VERY ANNOYING gps to keep u from driving in certain areas for what reason i don't know. Still the same old Oliver's Landing, Ole Still but with a Rock Barn price. The way to make this course go is to charge a reasonable rate, have cheap beer specials and fix ur own cheap hotdogs with a Lance Rack for snacks. Maybe pizza ordered ahead for the turn. Cart person on weekends to sell the concessions. It would be packed. You can't polish a terd.

Great value

Not in perfect condition, however, for the money you pay it is a great course. Challenging, but also is gettable

Best value in Hickory, excellent condition.

The course is in very good shape and greens are best I've seen in years. They opened it up more by a major tree reduction last year and sand traps are coming along. Course drains incredibly well after any rain.
