Course overall condition is in great shape
Enjoyed the experience
Some bunkers excellent some need work
But overall not bad
Rough is sparse of grass in some spots
Greens very good and speed very fair

I think one of the best on the southside. All the trouble is in the rough. Stay on the fairway and it’s fair all day long. Hope the secret doesn’t get out. I want to ply again.

Terrible experience. Unfriendly staff. No rain checks. Wasted a whole round because of rain

Accuracy is a significant asset on this course due to numerous long bunkers that hug the fairways, water hazards, and unforgiving tall grass awaiting those with a strong draw or fade.

Tee boxes, fairways, and greens are very well kept. I found the bunkers twice in my round of 18 and both were hardened to this consistency of concrete. Very few trees on this course. Greens offered nice challenges, with complex breaks on longer putts.

I'll admit I found the rolling nature of the course frustrating. Countless shots were made blind to my target, and the endless hills would block my view of the ball's final location. Perhaps some will like the challenge, but I didn't particularly care for it.

The bigger frustration however, was the backlog at the tees, occasionally three groups deep, with lengthy wait times. I had read numerous other reviews before playing, seeing complaints about the pace - they weren't wrong. It took us over 5 hours for 18.

All in all, not a terrible experience, but I personally didn't enjoy the roller-coaster aesthetic and the lengthy play time due to waiting around.

Have played Hickory Stick numerous times. Enjoy the layout as it provides a test for any golfer. It can be tough but is fair. The course was in good condition. On this day some of the staff could use a lesson in customer service and a smile. About half of the staff seemed grumpy and the other half were very friendly and helpful. No matter how your feeling on your work day you need to treat all customers with a smile and friendliness. Without customers you have no job. Be grumpy all you want till the customer shows up. Then it's all smiles and helpfulness. Just my 2 cents. Still like playing here and will return to play again.

Course was everything I like in a golf course. Challenging and yet playable. A lot of rolling fairways and greens. Great links style course and the Greens were very fast but yet every one was consistent so it was easy to adjust. Will play this course again.

Fairway grass was not fertilized and crabgrass was everywhere. I am use to this course being in better shape. Greens were cut very short, so putting was lime grass. The greens were hard which made it difficult to hold on an approach shot.

Course was in amazing condition, I’ll be going back soon to play the twilight hours in the near future.

hickory stick is an awesome course. in my opinion i’ve played some good courses and paid $60 or $70 to play there and hickory stick has almost matched their conditions and for half the price. i will be coming back to play in the near future. definitely one of my favorite courses i’ve played all summer!
