Fun In Spite of Management

Hickory Creek has a nice variety of holes, and for that reason alone I recommend the course. The regular prices are steep, but if you find a time you can make it using GolfNow it is reasonable enough.

Management here could use a change in my opinion...nearly every time I golf here I find that the majority of the staff is rude in one way or another. I always try to avoid interacting with anyone here aside from checking in at the clubhouse. You almost always get this vibe as if you're an outsider playing on a private course (it's not THAT nice).

A trip to Hickory Creek starts off with the guy behind the counter, who is typically grumpy and, when feelin social, will give you some overstated, eye-roll inducing diatribe about the course rules (cart path only on certain days, stay away from the greens in your cart...you know the typical run-down you might give someone who is new to the game).

The first two holes are basic, and very forgiving, a nice way to start out. The third hole, in my opinion, is the best on the course...tougher, yet pretty. As you reach the 4th and 5th you are usually greeted by the first of what is sometimes many old men strategically placed on the course just sitting there, trying to govern your fun for the day. They'll yell at you for the most obscure of things, talking too loudly, driving through a dried up "creek bed", not coordinating your pants and shoes (not really, but you get the point).

Anyway, I could walk you through an entire round here and the sorts of staff and rude/disruptive comments they might make to you while not contributing anything positive to the experience (a joke, improving the pace of play which can be very slow here when busy, etc.), but I won't. What I will say is that this course can be easy, or it can be tough...depending on how your hitting 'em on any given day (duh? right!). But that's what I enjoy about playing here, if you're playing well, you can score very well; if not, there's enough water and woods to lose a couple sleeves. Overall, I recommend it, but tread lightly when dealing with employees here or just shrug them off and enjoy your day in spite of them.

There is a lot of risk/reward on this course!

Hickory Creek provides a fair amount of challenge because there is a good dealt of risk/reward throughout this course. If you can make a solid second shot versus the layup you have great chances for birdies. I like the fairways and the layout of the course, all the holes are different. Most of the greens are a good size but difficult to read. Some are sloped but not too severely. Overall, I’d say a fun afternoon!

A lot better than I expected.

Price was super considering the quality of the course. Greens on the small side but alot of fun to putt. Not always as easy to read as they appear. Not as far away as I thought. (about 35 min. from downriver.)

Bring your A-Game!

Using this site I received around 55% off and it definitely made up for the amount of golf balls I lost on the course. Haha.

The clubhouse was inviting from the outside, but quite small on the inside. If they had the room, I would suggest maybe putting a locker room for men/women to make it a LOT better.

The staff was cordial and directed me with any questions that I had. They were also accommodating with my buddy joining me the last minute.

The course was enjoyable! Very scenic and had taller, older trees for a nice layout. EXTREMELY NARROW for the area and that's why I titled this 'bring your a-game'. I obviously didn't play my best and lost about 6 golf balls over 18 holes. The greens are definitely challenging and the best advice I could probably give you is simple "middle fairway, middle green"...

See for yourself! Enjoy it!

Overall pretty good

Thought the course was pretty good overall. The pathways were great for carts. Biggest problem I had was I was backed up for over 12 holes because no one would let me play through. The ranger was out there but wouldn't/couldn't do anything.
