Presidential at Hickory Valley Golf Club

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.
