Ambassador at Hickory Valley Golf Club
About
Hickory Valley Golf Club boasts two 18-hole, regulation-length courses, named the Ambassador and the Presidential. The Ambassador Course is the shorter of the two at 6,450 yards but it still offers a fair test. The classic layout is routed through towering hardwoods forests that stretch to over 70 feet high. The tall hickory trees loom over the fairways. The small greens are sloped back to front, presenting a challenge for even the most seasoned players. Water hazards come into play on several holes and there are a few tricky doglegs to contend with. The bunkering is minimal but the abundant trees will be enough to keep you on your toes. The golf course has some challenging holes but it's not overly punishing for the high handicapper.

First time playing here
The course looked very nice, it was quiet nestled in the countryside. I arrived on time but was greeted rudely, apparently I was playing with a group. I hate being put in groups with people I’ve never met. I thought I was playing as a single. Tuesdays and Thursdays they have a senior league so the mornings are packed, the starter says early afternoon is the best time for slower pace of play. They also have 2 courses but the other was under maintenance

Tight in spots but usually in good condition
Only issue I had was because there are two courses and only one starter the starter was not really managing the first tee on this course. Play was slow because we had multiple 2 player groups between 3 and 4 player groups and it seemed that no one had actually respected the 10 minute tee times so multiple times 3 groups were playing the same hole.

Golf
Always a fun place to golf. Ambassador side. Greens were extremely fast, and hole 3/par 3 pin-position was fun and disastrous at the same time - A lot of tough pin positions, but good!
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Ambassador at Hickory Valley Golf Club.
Tight course
Many trees and tight holes but also several open longer holes. Nice course and in decent shape for early season golfing.
