Look at this card Photo submitted by Brookscm72 on 09/08/2018
Pleasant experience
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 don't get it.
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.
In very good condition
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.
GREAT COURSE!
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!
Love this 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.
fast greens
I love the course and when you get a deal on fees its a great value
Fun round
Tee shots looks more intimadating than they are. Small, but nice rolling greens. Overall, good time.
Well maintained links style course.
The course was very wet due to heavy rains this week, but was still in good playing condition.
Great links style course!
Good variation and layout. Challenging holes and beautiful surroundings. Course was in excellent condition
good weather,good course,good shape
As most courses, bunkers could use some attention, tall weeds need sprayed on edges of bunkers ,but greens and fairways in good shape. GPS is great help to speed play.
Keep it on the fairway!
Accuracy is more important than length at Hickory Stick. If the ball is in the fairway, the approach shots are not too difficult, but sand, rough, and other hazards make recoveries difficult. The greens are in good shape. The carts are equipped with GPS monitors, taking the guesswork out of clubbing.
Great course!
It was a little wet, cloudy, cool and it rained briefly. The course and staff were excellent. In my top 5 of courses in this area.
In good shape for beginning of season
Course was in good shape,. Very firm and fast for early in year. Very windy, so course played like a links, which is how it was designed. Greens were hard, but showed ball mark dead spots because grass isn't growing well yet
Early spring day
First time playing this course and you can tell it is a Tim Liddy design. It feels like a blind of Trophy Club and Heartland Crossing combined. Greens a small for this size course. The par 3's and par 5's is where the difficulty is. The par 4's average just under 400 yards from the tips. I enjoyed the round and will be back for more! your middle to short iron game has to be sharp if you plan to score on this track...
Grounds keeped so well, you could putt 20 feet off the green if you wanted to.
A little on the short side but still a fun place to play
This course has great views
Once again a great experience on the course and in the clubhouse. I'll definitely play there again in the spring.
Challenging course that provides an irish type course feel.
This course is a challenging course, but provides opportunities to for birdies and eagles. Has two drivable par 4's with risk and reward. This course will reward good drives, and punish those who struggle finding the fairway! Will recommend this course for anyone looking for a fun and challenging course. The course is beautiful and also has firm greens and undulated greens. Great course!
Fairways and geens are outstanding
Well manicured course, greens run true but slick. Played the forward tees so played much easier than from the whites. Saved $3.50 per person on golfnow vs. the daily senior rate. Bigger savings for non seniors.
Still good experience despite conditions and slow play
This course is typically one of my favorites to get to each summer. Having played several different courses this year, i can say about all of them suffered from the extreme heat and dry conditions. This course however, seemed to be hurt the more so than others. Tee boxes were in bad shape and alot of the fairways had grass areas that were checked out. Greens still had quick pace. Staff was pleasant as usual. We were also behind a group or two that were slower than most (My foursome waited on every tee box for the threesome in front of us).
Great links course! Kept in great shape!
This course has a very friendly staff and is very fun to play. Always in great condition.
