Presidential at Hickory Valley Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
There are two 18-hole courses available at the Hickory Valley Golf Club, the Presidential and the Ambassador. The Presidential is the flagship course and it is also the longer and tougher of the two. The layout incorporates nine of the club's original 27 holes. The Presidential is nearly 300 yards longer than its sister course at 6,721 yards from the championship tees. The golf course has a nice balance of player-friendly features and challenging hazards. The wide fairways are quite forgiving, while the large, undulating greens are framed with bunkers. The signature hole is the par-4 second, which gently doglegs right, requiring a long and accurate tee shot. You're not out of trouble yet though, you'll still have to face the heavily bunkered green that also has a pond to the right.

Soaking wet
Course was nice but there were puddles everywhere. Cart path only which is fine with me but my feet were soaked like three holes into the round. Would like to play again when it’s not a swimming pool.

Great layout
Really liked the layout. Many doglegs alternating right and left. Course will be really nice once it greens up. Greens were small and rolled well off-season. Once the trees get leaves the challenge will increase. Looking forward to playing again in season.

Presidential Course
Had a very enjoyable round even if I did not score as well as I normally do on this course. Temps were in the mid 60's even though it was the middle of February. The course was crowded but the pace of play was excellent. They really do a great job of maintaining the course and the staff is consistently friendly It was well worth the one-hour drive to play.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. thank you!

Don’t play in their Turkey Shoot
Don’t expect to win by posting a legitimate score. You can only win by being a loser and not playing by the rules. Would not recommend to anyone.

Please contact us directly at the pro shop. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Poor management
This course is poorly managed. We waited on 1st tee while foursome in front walked off distances, played out of order etc until finally I went back to starter to ask if they had ranger. They sent someone to talk to them. Improved for a few holes then went track to snails pace. Quit playing after 3hrs to get through 10 holes. Talked to guy at front desk who acknowledged they are poorly run but basically said nothing the could do. Left my name and number for a response from his management and never got a response. Oh and he said basically if you purchased on Golfnow they don’t care cause they are making nothing off hot deals. I didn’t purchase the rounds off Golfnow but you should know how they feel about Golfnow customers.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Ambassador at Hickory Valley Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Typical Autumn Conditions
Wet and soggy. Lots of leaves and lost balls. Otherwise it was a nice round.

Twosomes
I golfed as a part of a fairly slow foursome. That’s on us. But it was frustrating to have twosome after twosome come up behind and want to play through. Had they been paired into foursomes, there would’ve been no issue.
Otherwise, we loved the course. We will definitely come again. Please consider this honest feedback from a friend.
