Fun Course to play!

Great course. Conditions were great. If you do not good here regularly. Not having home signs. Makes things hard finding your next hole.
That is the only mark on the course. I went to the wrong hole during the round. And never figured which hole I missed.

But great price. Great staff. Great time.

Unexpected Find

In my search to find a new place to play, I came across this Jack Kidwell / Michael Hurdzan course. Name is deceiving as along the west perimeter of the course there is some elevation change that the architects used to creat several unique and exciting golf holes.

Course conditions were on point with the cost to play the course.

Value for the money

The course was in decent shape even with the long dry spell. The staff was friendly and the pace was average for a busy Saturday. The par 3’s were challenging but the par 5’s gettable in 2. I would rate this as a value course. Good price for 18 but not an immaculate course.

Cart paths need some works, not the course!

Great course overall. Cart paths are bumpy sometimes, but there is space to go around them. Course is decent for the price, lots of hole variety with some long holes and some short holes. Overall a good value for the money.

Great Course

As an average golfer this course was player friendly. Wide open fairways and green were nice. The staff was as very helpful once we got there. Will definitely be back.

Solid course

This is a good course that I've played every year for probably 20 years. The greens are in good shape and are pretty flat, hence the name. Unless the break on the green is obvious don't give up the hole.

Mecca

Always a treat to make the annual pilgrimage down to good ole Hickory Flats. Even though the course was wetter than a stray cat after a thunderstorm, it’s always playable. Solid layout and the best hotdog you’ve ever had make this place a treat.

Great condition for the time of the year

Everything was excellent. The only area that could improve new golfers to the course is to have the same format as the front nine with labeling each hole. There were 3 holes we did not know where to go and nothing was labeled. People who regularly golfed helped us find the tee box when we were golfing.
