Hickory Stick Golf Club

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.

The course was very wet due to heavy rains this week, but was still in good playing condition.

Good variation and layout. Challenging holes and beautiful surroundings. Course was in excellent condition

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.

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.

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.

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

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...

A little on the short side but still a fun place to play

Once again a great experience on the course and in the clubhouse. I'll definitely play there again in the spring.

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!
