Well maintained course with a challenging hilly layout.

First time back at Hickory Sticks in several years and course looked and played great. Fairways are nice and green, Rough was nice and thick and greens perfectly manicured and in great shape. All in all for the 30$ we paid off of golf now you cant find a much better deal. If you haven't played Hickory Sticks you should its worth the drive.

Nice course

A lot of elevation to deal with, nice challenges you have to think of for second shot. Would be fine for novice players looking to have fun and competitive players looking to challenge one another. Enjoy your round I recommend the course, Fun awaits.

better than average

Need to have better or more directions on how exactly to get to the course because of the narrow roads coming from the AA highway.The greens were in great shape & the course itself was in good shape also.The course needs a little bit more of decriptors for different holes would help allot.

Great Course

The starter was very friendly and actually got us started before our scheduled tee time which was excellent. The staff inside were ok. The girl working there was excellent but the older male was rude and seemed to not know what he was doing. The course was well maintained and there were some really challenging holes. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone, just go to the girl inside not the older man.

Great little course!

Hidden in the hills overlooking the Ohio river Hickory Sticks is a great little course. It is really well maintained and as long as there has not been very recent heavy rain it holds up well. Greens are in good shape, carts are electric and in good shape. Really good variety of holes and some excellent views midst the Kentucky farmland.

Hilly

Being a Florida golfer (just visiting), this is a challenging hilly course. A few holes require landing on the fairway to avoid rolling down the hillside on either side. The rough is moderate. You will need to be able to accurately judge club adjustments because many of the greens are either much lower or higher than the tee box. Greens relatively quick even after hard rain. I was impressed with the condition of the entire course. Worth the drive to the country.

This course makes you think twice about every shot.

this is a very tight course that has the tendency to be unforgiving with hooks and slices off the tees, but it is extremely fun to play, I love a good challenge.

gotta hit em straight

Very nice course conditions but lost several balls due to me missing the fairway. Lots of rolling hills so another reason to hit it straight. Very nice course feels like middle of nowhere getting too it. Overall was still better than working

Quiet, Relaxing Course

Nestled in the middle of nowhere is this very nice, green course. Being away from everything it is very quiet, and the course is maintained nicely. I found it to be very hilly, with few flat lies. Very challenging for a novice like myself, but fun at the same time.

Love the scenery!

Beautiful golf coarse... Every hole plays differently. Birdies are hard to come by. The greens are in excellent shape but hard to read. The tee shot is critical.... Pretty much bogied every hole where the tee shot went off the fairway. For the price and value.... I would strongly recommend this golf coarse to any level golfer.

This course is in the sticks!

One of my favorite attributes of this course was it's distance from nearly everything! No road noise... no cars honking in the background... no jets rumbling above. I've not played a great many courses, but it was nice to be able to enjoy the game (and the course) without all the distractions. I'll definitely play there again!

Hickory Sticks Review

Very hilly course with beautiful vistas and lots of water esepecailly if you're playing from the tips. Definitely favors a placement player than a big bopper. Greens are undulating, but are smooth. Traps need some more sand and some work. Great carts with "foot free" brakes. Neat track. Worth the drive. Look for a calm day.
