Hickory Knob State Park

This is a long challenging course. You have to be accurate and long with your driver on the par 4's and 5's. Greens and fairways are in great shape. Several tee boxes are rough.

Course was in overall good condition bunkers were a little rough but fairways and greens were great, staff was friendly and very helpful only thing I would recommend would be to make the practice green play more like the actual greens because it was not even close. We will definitely be coming back as we truly had a great time playing here.

The greens still need a little work. Overall the course was in good shape.

Course is a challenging course with tight tee shots and lots of dogleg holes. Great course.

great time with friends. Staff always friendly and helpful; course provides different game aspects for challenge and allows you to think of multiple ways to play each hole.

This course is a great layout taking you through the forest and around the lake. You can definitely tell they’re having some issues. Tee boxes were very rough and mostly sand. Bunkers had grass growing in them. Greens were bumpy and very slow with bare patches. Biggest problem was the pace of play. The starter let a large group off and they ended up playing as a group of eight holding up the entire course. When we complained about it to the new course pro, he said that they had booked the course for 3 days and were spending a bunch of money. I guess our money didn’t matter. Too bad because this course could be something special.

I got lucky and went on a not as hot day with a good breeze. They were working on the greens but right now they are very puttable. Fairways are great.Tee boxes need work.

Course is in OK shape. Greens have filled in nicely compared to June when played last, but SLOW & not consistent green to green. If they cut them & rolled them they would be nice!! Fairways, tees & rough all fine, but sand traps are a nightmare. Most have very compacted sand & a few are just mud & rocks. They really just need to be deeply turned over & top dressed & then would be fine. Its a shame, cause they have decent quality sand in them, they just need to be turned over. Almost impossible to get up & down out of any green side bunkers. Still one of the nicest layouts around, a true challenge for most golfers, and hard to beat for the price. Staff are always super friendly & the place is almost always empty during the week. Even with the greens & bunkers the way they are, I will still return at least once before leaving for the winter. Just love the layout!!

Wanted to let folks know that the greens are fine, and the course overall is in great condition. I was hesitant to play it, but my buddy and I wanted an early tee time to beat the heat, and they had an 8am. I was convinced we would have some issues with the greens, but there were no issues. The greens were great. #18 looked a little drier than the rest, but other than that, it was fine. We were pleased with our decision to play the course.

Made it through 9 holes before rain came. Front nine was better as far as greens go. The sand traps had been raked but wet.

Course was wet sand traps were full of water. But greens are getting better.

Greens were on the very slow side. Seems like the pin locations had been in the same place for awhile.
