Presidential at Hickory Valley Golf Club
About
There are two 18-hole courses available at the Hickory Valley Golf Club, the Presidential and the Ambassador. The Presidential is the flagship course and it is also the longer and tougher of the two. The layout incorporates nine of the club's original 27 holes. The Presidential is nearly 300 yards longer than its sister course at 6,721 yards from the championship tees. The golf course has a nice balance of player-friendly features and challenging hazards. The wide fairways are quite forgiving, while the large, undulating greens are framed with bunkers. The signature hole is the par-4 second, which gently doglegs right, requiring a long and accurate tee shot. You're not out of trouble yet though, you'll still have to face the heavily bunkered green that also has a pond to the right.

An enjoyable play
Played as a single in the early afternoon with a deal from GN. Finished the round less than 3.5 hrs. Friendly staff. Course was freshly mowed. Layout is wonderful. Lost a couple of balls in the tree line on the last 2 holes due to faulty drivings. Overall an enjoyable round.

Hurry up and wait
We were a 3some following a 3some and they and we had to wait on every tee. One problem was that it was a Sunday, so it was crowded. The pins on most greens were placed in the most difficult positions, slowing down the pace.

Love the variety and value
Pace of play is really the only negative at the Presidential course which I much prefer to the Ambassador. The tee boxes and greens are in excellent shape. Fairways and rough are just right. Layout is very challenging with distances for everyone. You need to be accurate on many holes. With 8, 9 and 10 being the toughest 3 holes on the course, you need to be on your game or else!

Ninety Percent Excellent
For 15 holes on the Presidential course, it was a nice experience. Solid play was rewarded with chances at par for an average player. If they just took down a bunch of trees on 16 & 17 to make them even remotely playable, they'd have an special course. But those trees have reduced the fairway to practically nothing which you just can't have on a long par 4 or par 5.
But apart from that, you have some challenging holes and some scoreable holes, with lots of hazards. Greens ran well at a fair speed, partly owing to rain the night before.
For the money it's a nice course to play for average and better players, but novices are not recommended.
