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.

Good for the price
I’ve played here a few times. It’s a decent course. It’s fun with minimal trouble. The place just needs a TON of work. It’s beat up. Like I said for the price it’s worth it. I’d NEVER spend over $50 a round here though.
Thank you for visiting us at Ambassador at Hickory Valley Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
President Course at Hickory
Today was the 3rd time playing at Hickory Valley. Played the Preidential course today for the 2nd time. Course was in FANTASTIC shape! But even more than that, their entire staff make you feel WELCOMED. I have played over 50 different courses in the Philly area and they are hands down the friendliest and most personable of any track in the area. Heck, even the playing customers are incredibly nice and friendly, too.
I wish I lived closer, but I gladly will drive the hour to get up there and play either of their 2 courses.There are a LOT of nice courses to play in the immediate area near Gilbertsville, but none are more friendly and welcoming.
Thanks for the great review. We're glad you came back for more! We're glad you enjoyed the quality of our course conditions as well as the quality of our course staff.

Pin Position (Ambassador)
The course was in overall good shape considering how wet it was. My review is about the pin positions. i’d say at least 70% of the pins were >5° around the hole, some were almost un playable. Other than bad pin position nothing to complain about!
Thanks for the 4 stars!
