Course was fine, but the rest was horrible

So apparently wearing a collared shirt is a thing for them, even though the shirt I was wearing DID have a collar. More like a TW shirt. Have worn it at multiple courses that require collared shirt. No big deal. Not enough though. So fine…$71 becomes $150 to buy a shirt that also did not have a collar but had their logo, so it was fine. At the turn they have no food except premade ham sandwich and they don’t even have mayo….so $150 plus food and can’t get mayo on a dry ham sandwich.

Course was fine, not great but if you want something to eat, bring your own.

Great Round of Golf.

Course was in great condition for so early in the season. Facilites and course conditions have improved significantly under new ownership.

Great overall condition for the $

I make the drive to Hickory Stick at least a couple times a year because I enjoy the layout and the overall conditions are great for the price. My only complaint is that the greens usually have a lot of damage from unrepaired ball marks and the sheer amount of play they get. However, they are receptive and faster than average IMO.

Great Track but one small issue

This course is unreal, it’s in great condition my only minor complaint is the greens are beat up with ball marks. Other than that it’s great!!

Incredible course

This Irish links design is in perfect condition. Even after 2.5 days of heavy rain. This course drains very well. It was still cart path only but still pace of play was very steady. The greens were very fast which is what I personally like so if you like slow greens this is NOT the place for you. The fairways and greens both were in great shape. Hole layouts were very fun and challenging. It is a shorter course. We played the middle tees and it was 6500 yards.

Round took to long

I have played this course 3 times now and never had a good experience. This course has gas carts but the USB’s actually charge the phone. The round was long and there was no ranger to keep pace going and no after round food.

Good value, but could be better

Overall I would play here again but we did have a few issues. Biggest problem was the pace of play. We were stacked up 3-4 groups deep at times. They simply booked too many people or there was some sort of massive hold up. Either way it was not managed well. Next issue was I booked through golf now at 35 per person. At the course they charged me 40 per person. I didn't make a big deal about it but money is money. Lastly the options for food and snacks were not great, not a huge problem but pointing it out if you care. The course was fun, challenging at times and overall very well maintained. It does get a bit repetitive I thought but I guess that's part of the whole links style maybe? Would play here again but it wouldn't be my first choice.
