Ambassador at Hickory Valley Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

2 for the Ambassador
I’m 71 and I had the pleasure of playing golf with my friend David. We graduated from high school together. Got back together at Penn St. Reunited again on the golf course a few years ago.
Neither of us will ever qualify for any open but as I said today, “ this is the only thing we can play outside at our age”. I can usually break 100 some times even 90. Never broke 80. 1 hole in one decades ago. We just enjoy playing.
Hickory Valley was another good time.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're happy you and David had a great reunion here at Hickory Valley! We hope to see you both back again soon.

Good course;; But…..
Overall I enjoyed the course. Course knowledge is everything, as always. Being the second time I have played, and many months in between, it was like playing the first time all over again. Just moved to this area, from Rhode Island.
The only thing that could be better, were the greens. They were real spongy, and slow in the morning, as the day went on they did get better. However they were still not that good.
We work hard to create an enjoyable experience so you can focus on enjoying yourself and let us do the rest. We also want to thank you for your honest and constructive criticism of the course. We are going to escalate your review to our team in charge and do everything we can to improve before your next game.

Hickory Valley Presidential course
Enjoyed the course. Holes were challenging but definitely doable. Just had to relax. The Golf gods did claim a couple balls on #10 . Even the guys on the mowers were very courteous.
Thank you for the 5-star review! We're glad you enjoyed the challenge Hickory Valley has to offer.
