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.
