Ambassador at Hickory Valley Golf Club

Course was in good shape and enjoyable to play. We played the Presidential course which is a bit more challenging then it's partner, the Ambassador course. Have played both courses numerous times and can say that they are both worth playing.

greens were in excellent condition and had a true roll. older course layout with greens sloping back to front. need to kit to spots on some holes to avoid going through fairways on doglegs. good course for players of all levels. low price with Golfnow Hotdeal.

The right length for senior blended with challenging par threes and fives.

havent played here for a couple years. pleasantly surprised at the conditions. greens were in decent condition... The mature trees make each hiole unique.... I look forward to playing therrte again soon.

Course is named appropriately, it is a course that makes paying golf very enjoyable and keeps you coming back.

Course in good condition as always, except the greens were very slow. Friendly and efficient staff

It is hard to play this course by yourself for the first time, as is any course. When I first played the course I came away with the feeling I like the course and would play it again. Some free advice.
#2 Target drive
#5 Stay left !
#6 Stay right water on the left.
#9 Lay up water in front.
#10 same as #9
#11 need a low 2nd shot to the green Tree trouble in front.
GOOD LUCK HAVE FUN!!!!

One if my top courses in the area. It's not only in great shape but also challenging!

I played this course for the first time and I must say a definite upgrade from its sister course. Course layout was good, holes challenging but scoreable, and overall in very good shape. The one issue is that there is water through the whole course and no markers for distance to the water. It was a guessing game for the entire round. I'm not complaining. I paid $15 to play this course and would have paid more of I new what it had in store.

Although the layout is interesting, the course is very tight and narrow. If you are a mid to long hitter, be prepared to hit less than driver on most holes (I only hit 3 drivers). The course is difficult to play without prior knowledge due to severe doglegs and trees blocking second shots. Most of the tee boxes and all of the fairways were in great condition. However, all of the greens had excessive number of ball marks and were extremely slow. Don't let the practice putting green fool you, the actual greens are probably 2-3 feet slower and extremely soft. The bunkers here are also extremely soft (my ball embedded completely and I could barely see it). Holes 1 and 16 were my favorite and their practice greens and driving range was nice (irons only). Staff was also friendly and helpful.

Drove over an hour to get to the course and was glad I did! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The course is beautiful. Well maintained and landscaped. It seems they take care of all the little things that most courses have forgotten about. Great layout to the course beer and food prices were very reasonable . Wish I lived closer.

Great course to play if your up for a challenge. Slot of sand on this course so bring your wedge game.

I have played it several times per year for many years, and it is fairly constant relative to the conditions. The white tees at 6300yd is plenty for most, as the back tees adds another 400yds which combined with the layout is too much except for perhaps a single capper. There are many holes that are tree lined, and the tree trimmer guy has not visited this course in quite some time. In other words, hit it perfectly straight or deal with the trees. There are a few forced carries over water, bunker, etc. that will add to the challenge. The course cummulatively starts to wear on your game by the end, so it does not always leave you walking off the 18th with a happy face. The greens are usually pretty good meaning that good putts have a good chance to go in. This course will test your game, and it is worth the challenge.

Nice course, greens very soft and slow, tough to read. Old growth and protected areas lead to many penalty strokes, making it tough for a first timer not knowing this.

What a great course challenging and fair .
Great staff

Course was in great shape but the greens a little slow considering the amount of rain.

I play on average 3 times a month. This course is over grown, dog legs throughout with terrible site lines, its extremely narrow. By contrast the Presidential is a great course. The ambassor's design clearly indicates it was on a tight budget. If the management of this course really wants it to viable, they need to cut down scores of trees to improve playability. Or they could continue to do what they are doing, just taking your money. I will never play this course again.

I put together a round of golf for 4. I used the app and got a great price of $25 per person, plus tax it worked out to like $30 per. What a deal. This course is worth every cent. The greens were in great shape, the fairways were well cared for and the staff was friendly. The only complaint was that the crew was working on sandtraps and had not yet sprayed one down with water. One of my buddies hit it in the sand and it sunk about 3 inches into the sand.
Had a great day, thanks for the hot deal, I will be back.

Right pricing for the middle class golfer. Great layout, water and long tee shots are awesome for the serious and not so serious golfer.

Course was wet due to heavy rain the prior evening so it was cart path only which made it much less enjoyable.
Since it had not rained in NJ where I live, I was not prepared for the news of having to stay on the paths even though I am not questioning the reasoning.
Is it possible that "cart path only" can be indicated on Golfnow so that golfers know about it before making reservations?
