Book with caution

I paid $14 for a hot deal. It was worth it but I would never pay more than $20 to play this course. Needs some TLC. Course was very wet but some of the fairways had been mowed. This course could be great but sadly, I think those days are long gone.

Don’t Play Here!!!!

This goat ranch should not be open to the public until the underground irrigation is completely repaired. You will have to deal with flooded greens, fairways and mounds of dirt everywhere. Golf now should take this off their site.

Worst course I have ever played at!!

Calling this course a goat path would be a compliment. Spent more time looking for our balls in the middle of fairways than we did taking shots. The fairway grass is so long and unkempt, Ive seen shorter rough on other courses. Greens were badly burnt and so untrue. There is no maintenance done to this course whatsoever, you can tell they don’t care!! Can not explain how this course stays in business. Don’t waste your time or any of your money here!!

Worse Course ever

Course was not maintained on any level. I expected so much more especially since I got this as a hot deal. Sand traps had weeds growing out of them which is one of many examples of how bad the worse was. I will never play there again.

Will never return

Construction consisting of entire fairways being dug up and piles of dirt in the middle of play (on almost every hole) Greens had huge dead patched and ball didn’t roll straight. Clearly no one at Hickory Hills cares about the quality of the course. Unplayable bunkers during great weather.

The course is dookie. Conditions are bad. Weeds for rough. Rough for a fairway. Long fringe for the greens. There are holes on the greens. Big holes in the middle of the fairway I used a previously expired group golfer voucher that I could still use the value of it and just pay the difference. I still ended up paying $25 with cart. So it would’ve been about $40-50 without it for an awful course. No. Don’t waste your time here unless you really don’t care where you golf.

Horrible

The course conditions are horrendous. Tee box grass 3" tall fairways were deep. Roughs were ridiculously high. Greens like like they were burned and ground down.... We will not be back. Sad, it's close to home and going down hill FAST.

Needs A Lot Work

This course was in the worst condition that I have ever experienced. The underground irrigation was leaking basically through out the whole course. Trenches were dug on many holes many greens were flooded and grass was brown. This course should NOT be open to the public!!! Disgraceful !

Do not waste your money

I played this course a few years back and it was in extremely rough shape. I heard they were getting a new superintendent for the course so gave it another try. This is the worse kept course I’ve ever played. The tee boxes are so overrun by weeds and grass when you tee up your ball it is still touching the grass. There is no fairway, there are golf cart paths paved in the middle of the fairway on most holes, the greens are overgrown and have actual divits all over them where you can tell water isn’t being appropriately drained. Absolute garbage pile course.

Awful

Grass was not cut, the fairways were dug up to heck, and the greens were awful. I'm taking my $ elsewhere.
