Ambassador at Hickory Valley Golf Club

I was very happy .the course is in great shape add a great place to place for the money . I've played the other course what is always very challenging .This one less challenging but many many good holes.

Nice conditions, well maintained. Helpful staff, good value for your greens fees.

This course is nicely maintained and reasonably priced but not much fun to play because it has ridiculous pin placements on severe mounds and about ten thousand too many trees. There are many holes where you need to play a big cut or draw just to get the ball in play because of overhanging trees and numerous poorly placed water hazards.

On March 30th the new grass had yet to start growing, but the course was firm (unlike other area courses that are wet in Spring), clear of debris, and the greens were in good shape considering how early it was. Can't wait to come back in June/July.

I like the course because each hole offers a unique challenge even though the track is fairly level. Holes that look easy can creep up and bite you with a double bogey if you are not careful.

Really enjoyed playing this course with my 16 year old son. Was a good course for two players that just started playing last year.
Was well worth the price we paid and well worth the 2 hour drive it took to get there. We will play here again this summer.
The only down fall for us on this course was the yardage wasn't marked well.

For January play, the course was in great shape. Good value for the money. As a bonus, I got to use my sand wedge to chip out of the snow in the bunkers- my best shot of the day!

Presidential is a good course. It was in really good shape, and fair test. Mostly flat, a bit narrower on the back 9, but fun to play.

The course was in terrific shape for late November, few leaves and the greens were fast. Played in 4 hours. Reaslly felt like we stole a day for thjis time of year in the Northeast. I would definitely recommend the course to friends. Look forward to laying it again.

This course is OK. We play it's much better sister course, Presidential, quite often, and found this course to be OK. Small greens, most of which are steeply sloped making for tough putts from above the hole. Very flat land with a little bit of water coming into play. Conditioning was good. Distances between tee boxes and greens on a few holes are very close. All in all, not as good as Presidential, but OK.

The sand traps are the worst traps I have ever played.

I love playing here on weekday twilight rates - great value, not crowded, and course is always in excellent condition. Although the Presidential course looks nicer, the Ambassador course is equally fun and by no means inferior. There is a good mix of holes and the greens putt true. The dog legs are very reasonable and accuracy is a must.

The course was in very good condition and the greens were rolling well. Though the course, can be a little challenging from the gold tees, it is a fair course and is very enjoyable to play. This time of year, there are a lot of leaves in the rough and so there is a 50% chance of losing your ball if you can't keep the ball in the fairway. The staff is very friendly and the off-season price makes this course a great bargain. The only complaint I would have is that there are not any holes in the practice putting green; the holes were removed recently. The driving range only allows irons but at least you can warm up before playing. I give it a thumbs up.

Greens looked in good shape but were very shaggy/bumpy. They also had the habit of putting pin locations on top of or at the base of major breaks. They did not offer a pin location card or colored flags to indicate pin location. A lot of the doglegs are 90 degrees or more and at an odd yardage (where 3 wood might be too much on a long par 4). They varied the par 3 lengths nicely though.

Played the Presidential course and it was in very good condition - well maintained. It was a beautiful day and we had groups in front of us and in back, but it was not overcrowded. The only thing I would ask them to improve would be adding yardage markers in the fairways (I didn't see any, but luckily I had a GPS). The rates can't be beat and everyone is friendly!

Good value for the money. This was a fun course in pretty good condition.

Hickory Valley has never disappointed me when it comes to a well maintained challenging course. No matter which course you play, either the Presidential or the Ambassador, your going to find yourself on a players course with many decisions on how to play your shot! Impressive par 3's and beautiful layouts of the longer holes. Even better then how the course plays and looks is probably the price. This is one of my favorite courses to play that's always under 50 dollars, and to top it off; they have a driving range to warm up with!

I played both Ambassador and Presidential. The Presidential had more character and was in better condition. It has a fun design. There regular prices are high but Golf Now made it affordable. I would play there again but only through Golf Now.

Played Presidential course, which as a public course, is somewhat more challenging than most and has a few pretty interesting holes. Despite statements from pro shop and a hot day, beverage cart was nowhere to be seen or found even though no drinking water available on course and course snack bar was closed. "19th Hole" food/beverage area nothing to write home about. Course does not accept Victory Golf Pass, which is a negative and makes the course relatively pricey in relation to conditions and amenities. Pace of play was adequate, although my partner and I did have to play through a couple other twosomes. Course maintenance was a little spotty, although adequate overall. Quite a trek from northwest Philadelphia where I live.
