just work on your game

If you want to work on your golf game play it for the price on golfnow. Can't work on your sand traps game there never take care of them (drop area). fairways are ok . The ruff needs Herbicide Crabgrass Broadleaf Grassy Weed Killer. Course is down hill and could use a green keeper to just work on sand traps. At one it was nice and great to play. But for $14.21 price with cart live with it. PS Please get a GPS to help you play quick and stop looking for yard markers very few on Course

Against the Odds

Amazing after getting 6+" of rain for the third time in a month that this course was open. There were signs of where water had laid and some small patches still with water laying. Greens were in good condition.

Friendly staff. Lots of rain more than likely led to long grass fairways.

Nice Layout

Course was fairly nice, fairways were maintained well and greens were true. Tee boxes were pretty thick which made par 3's tough to hit clean. Overall was well worth the value.

Hickory Sticks Mounds

Hickory Sticks Championship course and the Mounds are not distinguished on the golf discount sites. We were assigned to the Mounds and the grass was long, there was an excessive amount of clover and if you got off of the fairway, it was extremely difficult to find your ball.

3rd nine not worth playing, otherwise decent.

We were unable to play the back 9 because of a league, so we were sent to a 3rd nine which was in poor shape. One green had about a hundred little insect hills cropping up and the greens would not hold a shot despite being slow. In general, this relatively new nine was poorly designed and is not very interesting to play.

The old front nine was fine. The new owners are working hard to bring this course back, and it is improved over several years ago.

Staff is super friendly and accommodating.

friendly staff and great value

Although the course received alot of rain prior to playing it,the overall conditions of the 27 hole golf course were in extremely great shape. This is definitely a place you need to come and play. The staff is very friendly and very good at what they do.
