Awessome golf course
This was the third time I have played this course. Each time it is better. Generous fairways and really fast greens. Amenities are top shelf as well. The staff really goes out of their way to ensure you have a great time. This is the best hot deal on the golfnow.com website. The hotel has some excellent dining too. My advantage is the course is less than an hour away. Look forward to the next chance I get to play here.
Short but tough
Nice course with interesting layout. Constant elevation changes make the course play much longer, and yard ages difficult to figure. Very pretty course. Tough but enjoyable.
Great hilly layout
Very seenic Great lay out lots of elevation changes. Smooth rolling greens.
Friendly staff.
Condition could have been a little better but I've seen much worse else were.
Drove there from Dayton Ohio and it was worth the drive I will do it again.
GOOD TIME
I LIKE THIS COURSE THE PEOPLE ARE FRIENDLY WONDERFUL VISTAS
Great layout
Wow, why can't this layout be duplicated in a premium course closer to the city. Maybe one of my favorite layouts, lots of risk reward and driveable par fours. I would play again even though grass quality is just not there. Sometimes hard to tell fairway apart from rough. Beautiful views and lots of elevated tee boxes.
A true hidden gem in my opinion.
It was tricky getting to the course but once there it was one of the best courses I have played in years. Course conditions were wet in the morning but seemed to dry out very quickly by mid morning. Never had to wait more than 1 or 2 minutes to tee off. The course had many challenging holes, but not to hard to keep me from coming back. Great day for golf and great course to play!
The course is in excellent condition, for all the rainy weather we have been having. Repairs to cart paths are being done at this time. Bunker repairs are looking real good.
Tough if beginner
Loved the course. The change in elevation was a great experience/challenge. Not an ideal course for your 3rd round of the season but definitely want to come back at the end of the season and give it another go. Very windy throughout the course/day but still an enjoyable afternoon.
Fun course. Great view
What I like about this course is that it has some hills but not many blind spots so you can usually find your ball fairly easily. Most of the greens were in bad shape with some a lot worse than others. Same could be said about tee box but not as bad and more expected than the shape of the greens. Looks like they are working on adding fresh sand to the traps. I had the pleasure of hitting into one with fresh sand and was pleased with the sand. A few holes have trouble with still water if you go off the fairway so be warned if you go a day or two after a rain storm. Over all, even though I just complained a lot about the course, it was beautiful and a fun course.
Some fairways are in rough condition but ground crews were out doing maintenance. I expect the course to be much improved as Spring weather improves.
Not a very long course but a very challenging layout.
Excellent value
Decent layout, late year conditions
Course is pretty torn up. Tee boxes were in rough shape and not cut. It was difficult to distinguish fairway from rough on most holes,. They ran together. Most greens were in decent shape for this time of year. Staff was friendly. Would come back earlier in the year but never again this late.
Hickory sticks
What a big disappointment unfortunately these rinky-dink golf courses around here do not keep their courses up Teebox is chewed up nothing but crabgrass crabgrass fairways just a joke I don't know why they can't keep their golf Courses in better shape very disappointed. I wouldn't let my cattle graze out there
Crabgrass Golf
I played Hickory Sticks 3 years ago & the course was in good condition. Last year, conditions deteriorated and there was a huge amount of crabgrass. I thought I'd give it one more shot this year and it was again, awful. There was more crabgrass than regular grass. There were many times you would hit a good shot and the ball would hit a clump of crabgrass and shoot out to the right or left instead of continuing straight. Will never play this course again. GolfNow, very disappointed that you would continue to offer this course based on it's extremely bad conditions. I definitely wasted my money. BUYER BEWARE!!
Good course for the money
Played 18 holes. Course was in Good condition considering the heat & rain issues we've had. Got electric carts ++++, friendly staff and beer.
Hi lastz,
Thank you for your review. We look forward to you playing out here again sometime soon!
A very enjoyable round
It is a very scenic course with a nice layout. It was definitely one if my more enjoyable rounds this year!
Hi Ityree,
Thank you for leaving a review of our course. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your round. We look forward to having you back soon!
Nice
Due to the weather this year fairways was not the best, greens were very nice. I use to golf here 20 years ago, I think they expanded the yardage because it seems like my ball just doesn't go as far (LOL) but I liked it then and I like it know . Very nice setup you got to try it ‼️
Thank you for returning after 20 years! We are happy to hear that you still enjoy the course and we hope to see you again soon!
