Hickory Stick Golf Club

I've played here many times in the past, but this was my first round there this year. I have to say that we were very disappointed with the class, or lack of class, from the other players that have come to frequent the course. We luckily played through two groups that had never played golf before. But then were stuck behind a group for the remainder of the round that had clearly no business being on the golf course. Each player hitting two balls off of every tee, even as we sat there and watched it happen every time. We were verbally assaulted on multiple occasions for doing nothing except waiting for our turn to hit. Just a disgrace of a round that took over 5 hours to complete. The need for a ranger on the course to monitor play has never been more clear to us.

So sure, we got a good on-line deal...$31.00 for weekend play. The course is really nice, challenging. But here was the problem: the pace of play was so ridiculously slow, it ruined the round. On hole #5, there were 5 groups! One group of slow old men about my age on the green, one group in the middle of the fairway, 3 groups on the tee box. This wasn't a par 3 either! I called the club house..."is there a ranger working today?"...."uh...I don't believe so". No starter, no Ranger, no one working the snack bar. I think these owners need to quit worrying so much about shoving 300 rounds thru each day (7 min. starting intervals w/No starter) and focus on giving the golfer a pleasant experience. We jumped over 4 holes, and it still took 3 of us over 4 hours to complete 14 holes! I won't be back anytime soon, which is a shame...a very nice course (if people would fix their ball marks!)

Came up to visit family and decided to play Hickory Stick. It had been many years since I played this course but liked the layout. The course did not disappoint me, it’s a link style course so you are penalized if you are not in the fairway. The tee boxes were in good shape, and the greens were fast as I remember them.

My advice to anyone playing this course, is to see what the pin placement is, and shoot for below the hole. You do not want to be putting from above the hole if possible. I will definitely play this course again when I come back to visit.

Very nice conditions, an interesting links-style course. One of my new favorites in the area.

We had a great time playing the course. Greens were true and fast Needed to teach members how to repair pitch marks. This course is too nice to not fix your on divot. Fairways were in fantastic shape.

Rough is playable Layout is good

Will play again if ever passing through.

Good course. Pace of play was a struggle but it was a Sunday. Nobody repairs their pitch mark's which is sad. Putts can be bumpy. Wayward shots can be lost. The uneven lies require some focus. All in all, I would go back.

The course seemed to be overbooked.

They didnt have a starter. We started 20min late and had to wait at every tee.

Very nice course with challenging holes and amazing views.

I play here all the time and have never been disappointed. Great course in great condition.

Great condition but slow play

Will return nice layout

The prices are good for the course difficulty and overall condition.

We enjoyed our game. We walked the course and it was very enjoyable. We will go there again.

Course in good shape overall

Pace of play was terrible, no ranger

On third tee box 3 foursomes and foursome in fairway

Never had any separation 5 1/2 round

Nice course with large wide fairways and nice greens..fun to play..Highly recommended

Great Course, greens in fantastic shape. Pace of play always a little slow, that just means golf is thriving.
