Great value in Greenwood

Course is in a subdivision but houses distanced so not much of a factor when playing. Fun course with challenges. Exceptional value for the course. Will definitely play again when in the area.

Great course for the $

I've played Hickory countless times and it is always a great play for the price. I've shot everything from a 76 to an 88 here due to the course lulling you into a false sense of security based on a few "easy" holes. Depending on where the flags are and the wind strength the day you play, it can can feel MUCH longer than what it is. Course was in great condition and even with the COVID-19 precautions in place the staff were still friendly and helpful. I'll be back soon.

Just a good spring day in Indiana

Golf course is greening up, greens were a little slow for my liking but not too slow. Bunkers haven't been worked but its April and everything going on its fine. Fairways were good, tee boxes good. No complaints.

Great condition for March

For March it was fantastic. Staff couldn’t have been nicer. Will definitely be back soon! Pace of play could’ve been a little better but we will chalk it up to the fair weather golfers getting there first swings in.

Forgot how much I liked this course

It’s been 5+ years since I last played Hickory Stick, and it’s still the same challenging links type Course I remember. Conditions were fantastic and pace of play was great. The staff were terrific, even accommodating with a replay round at no charge. Great mix of holes that makes you think your way around the course, not just grip it and rip it.

Nice Layout, Horrific Tee Sheet Management

Hickory Stick has an interesting layout, that has a lot of bumps and undulations throughout the course. It's in solid shape for September, and the greens looked/rolled really smooth. Very firm today with the recent lack of rain, and the South wind made it feel like 3/4 of the holes were into the wind.

But... They really messed up today. They had an outing that shotgunned, and arrived with more people than planned. So they were backed up and sent us (and others before us) out to 14 to start, and said it'd be smooth sailing from there until we hit the back of the outing. Ok, no problem. Actually... HUGE problem. Someone did not relay the info that we started where we did to the starter and we wound up turning from 18 to 1 into a few groups. After the starter asked us why we did what we did and was puzzled, he decided to wave us in front of others that hadn't started, and paired us with 2 that were waiting. By the 3rd hole we were 4 groups deep on the tee box, and it took roughly 90 minutes to play holes 1-5 after taking less than 40 to play 14-18. It opened up some once the outing started to finish and we passed a slow group. But still, no excuse for this poor tee sheet/outing management. Makes me somewhat hesitant to return.

Better than expected greens

The course was well kept and has a good layout with thick rough to make it interesting if you miss the fairways. The greens have good layouts and make you think about every putt. The bunkers are very average.
