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.

Par 3 16th Photo submitted by bfalker on 06/16/2013
Overpriced for maintenance
There are much better deals in the area than this. While I love the layout and how challenging it is, the maintenance is questionable at best. The greens are never the same week to week and the bunkers are awful compared to lower priced courses in the area let alone the courses charging these prices.
Excellent
The staff and Steve the Pro super. Yes I would recommend this course to anyone.
Solid course
First time playing here. Staff was very helpful. Played the Presidential course. Stay in the fairway because the rough is high. Bunkers need sand that was the only downside,it was like concrete. Overall it was a good experience. Would play there again.
Average
course is in decent shape. Greens good. Need to trim trees back.
Beauty and the Beast!
For the time of year, the course was in fantastic shape. HVGC Ambassador is a beautiful course, with rolling hills and pretty water features, but if your not paying attention to yardage on every shot you are in trouble. This course is a beast because you have to be very accurate to succeed -- hitting fairways is key! Beautiful course, well kept, friendly staff, but hit your shots accurately and in the fairway or you'll be posting a big number.
Great course
This course was a lot of fun! The layout was great had a blast for my first time. Still fairly muddy so had quite a few bad hit from mud shots. Overall awesome time will play again
Good Course Layout.
The Presidential was as challenging as advertised. Great opportunity to test out my Qi35 off the White tees. I was essentially the only one on the course. Liked the shapes of the various long pars. I look forward to getting back on the Presidential.
Good day
I played the ambassador course today and I must say, it was a very well put together course. Some challenging holds were very narrow the greens and I mean all of them, we're in great shape the food was good the staff was friendly and I will certainly play the scores again.
Don’t expect good conditions
I played this course last year and had high expectations for this round I left terribly disappointed. The greens were in terrible shape. The fringe was non-existent or diseased as were a lot of the greens. The tee boxes were in terrible shape, uncut and very uneven. The fairways needed help too. I played this last year and was pleasantly surprised by how nice the course was. The overall layout is a great mix of play making shots but as of right now that’s all it is. It’s a course that is in desperate need of some grounds keeping! It is no where near worth the 80 dollars to play on a weekend. I don’t like giving low or bad reviews but this course needs some help right now.
Always a nice course…definitely better than the Ambassador
In much better condition than the other course on site, the Ambassador. Tee boxes were a little beat up but manageable. Always enjoy this layout. Will definitely look to play this one again.
