Par 72
Length 6721 yards
Slope 136
Rating 72.6

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.

Great challenging course

What a gem. Great course in the middle of nowhere. Great fairwAys, got think on some holes, can’t just grip & rip. Gotta think ball placement. Greens great shape and roll nicely. Nice pro shop and snack area.

Great day

From the time we arrived, until we pulled out of the parking lot, everything was great. The staff was so nice. The starter took our bags and loaded them on the cart for us. We were offered complimentary coffee, purchased great breakfast sandwiches, and the cart girl was friendly and came around at least four times. It’s over an hour ride but when they treat you good it makes it worth the trip.

Exceeded Expects

We lucked out and got out before a men’s league and played in 3 1/2 hrs. Fairways and greens in very good condition, was surprised after several rain days before. The tee boxes were rough with fungus happening on many of the holes. Played Presidential side which has more character then Ambassador side. Will go again soon.

Holiday Traffic at Hickory Valley

Holiday T times were full and no rangers on course to keep pace of play moving forward. Some groups had two open holes in front of them while other groups behind them had multiple foursomes on the same hole.
Golfers several holes back called Pro Shop and manager came out to tell the group behind the slow foursome to pick up the pace?

Great layout, challenging but fair.

Very good experience. Prepaid my greens fee on Golf Now app. Check in was easy. Very friendly. Played as a twosome with son and got around in 3:30. Course layout was varied and interesting and course was in great shape. Lack of rain here has made it challenging I assume. Would recommend. Coming back to play Ambassador course.

Greens Need a Leaf Blowing

Or bring your own personal battery-operated leaf blower? Seriously, most greens were covered with twigs and other tree-generated debris making it tough to make a putt. Fairways had lots of bare spots for this time of year.There were rows of hay clumps from lawn clippings. .I like the course and I think the staff are wonderful, but conditions were under-whelming yesterday.

Good course

Overall this was a very nice course with some difficult areas. Will definitely play again. The back 9 are very tight together so errant shots end up in other fairways. The tee boxes were good and the greens were very well taken care of. The greens also were fairly easy as far as elevation and tracks being relatively straight.
