Course conditions
Today was the best I have seen the golf course. Hats off to the ground crew for an excellent job. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend this course.
Played here many times Course overall was in good shape. Got behind a 4 some that was slow as Christmas on the back and wouldn’t let us play through. The greens needed to be rolled. But the course management was rolling them when we got done.
Superintendent doing a great job
After months of rain course is progressing nicely. Just starting to green up and they took down about 100 trees on the front to give fairways more sun. Beautiful location and a friendly staff.
Experience golfers delight
Beautiful and challenging course...priced right for winter play...will play again...worth the drive
Nice Place to Play
Nice scenery, several holes on the lake. The course conditions were very acceptable especially for winter time. I always enjoy playing here.
Great day
The course was in great shape and it was a pleasure playing there.
Nice course
Great course. Nice views, affordable, only complaint was it was wet due to rain.
Great course
This was my first time playing at Hickory Knob and it is an excellent course. It was in great shape. It is challenging but not too bad. I will definitely be back.
Great Little Gem
Had been a few years since I played “The Knob” but as usual it will humble you. Tight fairways and great scenery. Greens were a little slow, but we had just had rain a day or so before. Best bang for your buck in the area. It’s worth the ride!
Natural beauty
Nice course. Great scenery . Nice layout big elevation in front nine back nine flatter. Enjoyed my day. Great value
Beautiful course at a great value and the folks are always friendly.
Wonderful course.
I played this course once over 35 years ago and only remembered that is was a fun course. I wasn't disappointed this round. The course is in excellent shape, fairways and greens. Pace of play was great. Not knowing the course got me in trouble a couple of times but I'll know better next time. The only negative is the long drive from Newberry but I will make the trip again, soon I hope.
Only getting better
I have been playing Hickory Knob on and off since 2013. The course right now is the best it has ever been. I believe they have a new Superintendent and he is doing a remarkable job. The fairways are excellent and he is now bringing all the greens back. The greens are still a bit slow but getting better. Bravo to the new Super. Worth the trip, give it a try.
Very challenging layout. Great condition. Staff super friendly.
Scenic Course
Great Staff. Scenic course and being wooded it is easy to play the course without being exposed to the sun all day. State Park run and very well kept. Need cart paths repaved but other than that great time.
