Hickory Stick Golf Club

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.

Golf course was dry due to weather so despite no trees, course played difficult.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

Nice course design. Great challenging green complexes. Course in good condition for first day of spring. Challenging par 3's. Enjoyed a family day out on the course.

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

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.

Fast and fair greens.

Very good layout.

Long holes and short holes.

All the trouble you need to avoid.

Love it !

fairways rolling and greens decent speed. highlands look featured and little water appeared to be applied to course. overall in fairly good shape.
