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.
One of my favorite courses !
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.
Best $30 course
Course was in amazing condition, I’ll be going back soon to play the twilight hours in the near future.
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!
Great course
Have played twice. Really enjoy this course layout. Fun and challenging. Great shape, friendly staff.
paid twice for the same round
madder than heck right now . booked a 230 tee time got to course @ 2 said i did'nt have a tee time ended up paying 58.00 again to play . pro shop just kept telling me i did not have a tee time as stated above i had a 230 tee time i paid you for somehow i lost 58.00 thank you golf now for not making mt tee time for 230
Terrible experience. Unfriendly staff. No rain checks. Wasted a whole round because of rain
Hot and little windy but father and son day
Course overall condition is in great shape
Enjoyed the experience
Some bunkers excellent some need work
But overall not bad
Rough is sparse of grass in some spots
Greens very good and speed very fair
Great course
I think one of the best on the southside. All the trouble is in the rough. Stay on the fairway and it’s fair all day long. Hope the secret doesn’t get out. I want to ply again.
A Bit Like a Roller Coaster - Including the Long Lines
Accuracy is a significant asset on this course due to numerous long bunkers that hug the fairways, water hazards, and unforgiving tall grass awaiting those with a strong draw or fade.
Tee boxes, fairways, and greens are very well kept. I found the bunkers twice in my round of 18 and both were hardened to this consistency of concrete. Very few trees on this course. Greens offered nice challenges, with complex breaks on longer putts.
I'll admit I found the rolling nature of the course frustrating. Countless shots were made blind to my target, and the endless hills would block my view of the ball's final location. Perhaps some will like the challenge, but I didn't particularly care for it.
The bigger frustration however, was the backlog at the tees, occasionally three groups deep, with lengthy wait times. I had read numerous other reviews before playing, seeing complaints about the pace - they weren't wrong. It took us over 5 hours for 18.
All in all, not a terrible experience, but I personally didn't enjoy the roller-coaster aesthetic and the lengthy play time due to waiting around.
