Hickory Sticks Golf Club

We were given a 3:08 tee time. The course was not crowded so we were taking our time. Two different times single players came up behind us and we let them play through. When we finished number 9 there was a huge group on the number 10 tee. For the first time we were told there was a league starting on 10 at 5:00. I believe they actually started early and as a result we had to skip around quite a bit to be able to get in all the holes on the back 9. This made for a unenjoyable finish to an otherwise pleasant experience.

Definitely off the beaten path, but worth the drive.
Beautiful views, challenging design, dramatic elevation changes. Play here as often as I can.

Love the design of course open enough to have bad shots and not worry about losing ball or hitting another golfer. Great day of golf

I paid for 18 on a Thursday evening. However, I could only get in 15. This is because they allowed payment for 18 knowing it was not possible. First, 6:44 pm tee time. Maybe I was just being hopeful. But then I had to wait and wait, for groups that were waiting on groups. I then had to go ahead three holes to get past all this. Probably should not have allowed the sale of 18.

Elevation changes make this a fun and but challenging course. Course was in great shape. Only 25 minutes from Florence. I will be back.

First time playing here. The staff and people around were as friendly as could be. The course is short but challenging enough due to the natural contours of the land and greens. Par 5 to start wasn't ideal but it's short enough for a confidence boost out of the gate. It was a 45 minuite drive but I would do it again in a heartbeat. Good people that welcome you will always beat a city course to me. I will be returning soon. Thanks again! Be careful of the narrow roads coming in though. The GPS doesn't realize my Tahoe is as big as the road.

The course was in very good shape, and the greens rolled very true. I would recommend the play of this course to anyone!

You know you are going to tee off after leagues get going. It's a given. Our tee time was set for 6:20. We tee'd off at 7:15.

The league on this night is incredibly SLOW. Slowest I've ever seen.

Starter was nice and let us tee off on 18, then go to 10. We finished 18 in about 20 minutes. Only because the group in front of took 15 minutes to play the hole!

Got to 10 and it was backed up 8 carts deep. So we went to 1 where we tee'd off in about 5 minutes. By the time we got to 2, we were waiting again. 3 was so backed up, we played 2 again. We only played 6 holes, but we played 5 of those twice because the league was so backed up.

I really like Hickory, but I'll never book a tee time after this league.

Took me about 25 minutes from Downtown. Course was in Excellent condition. Very Nice people both inside and on the course. Played in about 1 1/2 hours. Real value - beautiful spot overlooking the river. I'll be back.

Course was in exceptional condition. Staff was friendly. Pro shop and snack bar were underwhelming. Will definitely revisit this course soon.

Fun, challenging layout. Great views of the country.

Hickory Sticks is a very good deal for the money. The greens are especially good for the dollars spent.

Excellent value. Check in was very easy. The Staff was ready for us when we arrived. Course was in very good condition

I would say it's the best course I've played in NKY. Overall no complaints, plenty challenging. The only think I would knock is the grass being a bit high on the tee's. Other then that this is a hidden gem. Will def play again!

Absolutely beautiful! Very happy we made the trip from northern Ohio. We played in late October so rough and tee boxes were a little long and greens were somewhat sandy from aeration but you would have that on any course in this part of the country this time of the year. Definitely coming back next year mid season. A unique gem of a course.

I decided on Friday morning to play but wanted to stay close to home. I found this course on Golfnow and they are only about 15 minutes from my house. I made my reservations and drove out there. When I walked into the proshop I was not greeted even though there was just one other person in the room drinking coffee. . I gave my name at the counter and paid my fees. The cashier never asked me if I had played there before or if I knew where I was going and if I needed help. I walked out and put my clubs in a cart. There was no starter so I assumed this was okay. I found a sign that guided me to the first tee. At no time in the clubhouse or on the course was there any signage that stated that carts were to be driven on the path only. On each hole there was a sign in front of each green that had an arrow that pointed to the cart path with the word "Carts" on it. On the 7th hole I was driving down the fairway to my ball when a course employee yelled at me that carts were to be driven on the path only. I tried to explain that there was no signage and nobody ever told me this but he drove off. At that point I was so frustrated by my experience that I finished out the hole and left. It is safe to say that I will never return and surely will not direct my friends to play there in the future.

Watch for the deer!! Very good for all type of golfer.
Watch out for though hill!! There a killer on your legs.

A lot of elevation changes. Very challenging, yet forgiving fairways. This course is not as intimidating as it may look. Worth the time and money.

this course gives you the feel of being in the mountains away from it all great shape

Played this round with my wife and we both enjoyed the course, especially the views. Carts were in good shape and fast enough to handle the many hills. Overall the greens and fairways were in very good shape. The only warning I have is to be careful as you drive to and from the course. The road is extremely narrow and you need to be careful to watch for vehicles coming around the curves.
