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.

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.

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

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).
