Rapidly improving!

They've invested time and money in to the condition of the course over the last year and it's gone from the worst course I've ever played, to one that's now very enjoyable. Pace of play was good (3 hours for a 3some) and the staff are very friendly.

Hack

Course is gorgeous. Greens are very difficult with proper pin placement, I love it. Great thinking course. Nothing easy about this one. It’s perfect. Thank you

Difficult greens

Nice course. Almost all greens built on a hill. Had a couple of 4 putts. Normal putting for 18 is usually 34 or under. Had 42 today. Their not super fast but if you miss could roll down hill 20 yards. Tee boxes and fairways very nice. No sand traps but still challenging. Only issue I had was range was a drive from club house and mates only.

Overbooked

Delayed 30 minutes from our tee time due to no carts available. Also, having tee times every 7 minutes took us 5 hours to complete 18 holes because it was so backed up. Inquired about a rain check and they refused. Never coming back.

This is way over rated it’s a solid 2 stars

Range doesn’t open til 10….greens are comical with slopes at times the fairway is left to grow at least an inch and a half in height….no cart girl….tee times aren’t staggered enough to allow for proper pace of play. Course design is from 1917 and you’ll find yourself in the weirdest scenarios (everything is incredibly tight ..I.e tee boxes to green location and cart paths to greens and fences etc.. This course is worth 30bucks if you can stand it.

Hidden Gem

This course was in great shape all summer, so many people have just learned about the course so it's been a little backed up on the weekends besides that the course is in phenomenal shape. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a challenging hidden gem in Hickory Hills.
