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.

The best winter course around

This is my bad weather go to course. It’s always open. Drains well. Enough covered carts. Tough but fair play. Link style.

A go to favorite

Yes, it can get crowded (because so many people like it). Yes, when they plug the greens they have sand on them and don't put quite as well...DUH. Call ahead and check if you don't like that.

The course is fair with decently wide fairways, and generally flat greens. Yes if you spray it all over you might loose a ball or two.

This course is one of my only enjoyable links courses. I normally like tree lined courses. Much better condition and experience than the Legends in Franklin. Lots of character for a links course.

Hickory Stick

hickory stick is an awesome course. in my opinion i’ve played some good courses and paid $60 or $70 to play there and hickory stick has almost matched their conditions and for half the price. i will be coming back to play in the near future. definitely one of my favorite courses i’ve played all summer!
