Hickory Stick Golf Club

Course was in excellent condition. Best greens I have been on this year! Challenges on every hole make it a true test of complete game. Wish it was closer to Bloomington.

I've played Hickory Stick about 3 times now and it is in good condition every time with this last round being no different. Greens were great and fairways were good to just a couple minimal rough spots. Course is challenging if you aren't hitting it straight almost always setting up a shot in the sand or with a tough lie on a dune. The course has a fun layout and well worth a play.

course and facilities where in great shape. I try to play this course a couple times of year, been playing it for about 7 years. Never disappointed. Wife plays and she loves the course as well. A great test of golf for all levels. One of my favorite course in Indiana

Course doesn't drain well even after significant time to dry out. Cart path only conditions makes one second guess playing at all due to long distances from path to lies, undulating terrain makes it difficult to judge distances from cart etc. Found myself carrying multiple clubs, towel, GPS, etc nearly every shot on every hold. In hindsight walking (push cart) would have been much better bet. Only other concern was that greens were just pummeled by outing earlier that same day. Otherwise course in phenomenal shape as usual, one of my favorites, especially tee boxes and fairways.

Very nice course. Course can be tough if you dont hit it straight. The fairways are nice. The rough off the fairway is thick (though not unreasonable) and the grass on the mounds is very high. Greens were great. A fair number of pitch marks, but most of them looked as if the player tried to repair them. Overall, the greens were well above averge for a public course.

Back 9 has a cool layout with some longer holes. 16 was my favorite. Dog leg left with a pond running the whole left side with mounds and bunkers on the right.

If I were to find faults, I would say they need to take better care of the bunkers. Some were rocky. My advice to the course would be to purchase some better sand. It seriously would make a huge difference. Also, a cart person with drinks and snacks driving around would be convenient.

Again, nice course, true identity, good shape, must play.

Great course if you are preparing for the US Open! Rough just off the fairway ranged from 3 to 6 inches. Took the driver out of play. Lost two balls that rolled through the fairway just a couple of feet. Great test of golf, but probably unplayable for the average golfer.

The course was in very good shape. The rough a bit too deep. Bunkers need raking

This course has a a great layout and right at 6000 yrds from the white tees. Greens were in good condition. The GPS in the carts is a big help as well.

Course conditions were nice, bunkers were hit and miss as far as playability.

Hickory Stick is a great course for people of all skill levels to test their accuracy by offering many fairway bunkers and multi-level greens.

After the rough winter I was finally able to play my first round, the course is a place I'd surely play again. Most of the fairway and rough were still pretty dormant but greens had good color and were maintained. Course offers a good challenge, not many hazards but shots will be tested based on the slight changes in elevation and various shot angles due to the dunes. Nice layout and with a hot deal well worth the play.

This course is a very forgiving course. The course was very well kept. I didn't like the fact that the greens keepers had mowed and there was a lot of grass clippings through the fairways and up around the greens, but it had minimal effect on my round. There were a few spots near the greens where the drainage had created some very wet spots and the mowers had really tore it up as well. With the slope of some of the fairways it was forgiving that the ball would collect towards the center of the fairway, provided you could hit it there. This was a very fast course, the greens were slick as ice so make sure that you hit some putts on the putting green.

I really liked this course. The fairways undulated and were in great shape. I loved the layout and the look to the holes. My only problem was that they had recently aerated the greens so they were stilled filled with millions of tiny holes. Other than that I would recommend this course to anyone who asks about it.

Course is well maintained. Played there in Feb, May and Sept. was enjoyable each time staff remembered me, welcome me back. Quite surprised. Normally i prefer playing on a course away from residential neighborhood. Could disregard that factor for this course since it is very well maintained and enjoy the link style course. Definitely different feel than some of the typical Indiana courses.

Why need directions and signs when there is 13inch GPS guide on the cart? I didn' have trouble finding the ways around the course. Disagree with the comment below.

I am new to the Indianapolis area, so I went to play this course based on the reviews. This is an average course in average condition. Based on the reviews, I expected much more from this course than was delivered. I used the 'hot deal' and only paid $25, which is all the course is worth and that is questionable. Don't be fooled by the reviews, nothing special here.
BTW, here's a clue for this course, how about some signs. There are no street signs leading to the clubhouse and NO SIGNS directing you to #1 or #10. I was given a cart key and told to tee off on #10. Nothing directing you to #10 or #1. Really idiotic.

The course was in very good condition for this time of the year. The front office was excellent and friendly. Greens were in nice condition, with spin on shorter shots.

The course was in excellent conditions considering the very hot weather and little rain we have had lately. Staff is great and very friendly. I think I have found my new favorite course!

Great course, paid a great fee for it too! If they can afford to have people play at this rate, then why is their normal rate so ridiculously high...golf prices have gotten out of hand everywhere in Indiana lately. There are a few exceptions to that last generalization.

I love the course and when you get a deal on fees its a great value

Tee shots looks more intimadating than they are. Small, but nice rolling greens. Overall, good time.
