Links Golf

First time playing course. This course is fun with lots of grass mounds surrounding the fairways. Conditions were great despite lots of rain the preceding days. Pricing is a fantastic value. Will play here again on next visit to the area.

Great Course

Have played Hickory Stick numerous times. Enjoy the layout as it provides a test for any golfer. It can be tough but is fair. The course was in good condition. On this day some of the staff could use a lesson in customer service and a smile. About half of the staff seemed grumpy and the other half were very friendly and helpful. No matter how your feeling on your work day you need to treat all customers with a smile and friendliness. Without customers you have no job. Be grumpy all you want till the customer shows up. Then it's all smiles and helpfulness. Just my 2 cents. Still like playing here and will return to play again.

Great Experience

Course was everything I like in a golf course. Challenging and yet playable. A lot of rolling fairways and greens. Great links style course and the Greens were very fast but yet every one was consistent so it was easy to adjust. Will play this course again.

Course Conditions

Fairway grass was not fertilized and crabgrass was everywhere. I am use to this course being in better shape. Greens were cut very short, so putting was lime grass. The greens were hard which made it difficult to hold on an approach shot.

Lots of better choices!

All they want to do is cram as many paying customers on this course as they can....and to bad for you if it takes 5 hours for your round. Never a ranger to keep play moving and lots of lousy, inconsiderate golfers. NEVER AGAIN!

Really slow

The course was in good condition considering the recent weather. The tees were good condition, the greens were in good condition, and the fairways were a 6 on a scale or 1-10. There were two issues. 1) We had to wait about 20 minutes for a cart 2) the pace was extremely slow. We started about 2:00 PM (20 minutes late due to lack or cart, and we had long waits on every hole. It appears as though the course had set up tee times about every 8 minutes. We were not able to complete the course, and had to leave after 15 holes due to the slow pace.

Great Course, Terrible management

I suppose if the goal is to cram as many people as you possibly can regardless of the number in each group, and not even come close to monitoring pace of play, allowing 5somes, allowing 4 year olds to hit multiple balls off the tee box, then the folks at Hickory Stick succeeded magnificently. 5 1/2 hours to play a round of golf? Ridiculous.

It is truly like a Irish style links course, many angulations, and tricky greens.
