Hickory Stick Golf Club

The course was in good condition considering the recent weather. The tees were good condition, the greens were in good condition, and the fairways were a 6 on a scale or 1-10. There were two issues. 1) We had to wait about 20 minutes for a cart 2) the pace was extremely slow. We started about 2:00 PM (20 minutes late due to lack or cart, and we had long waits on every hole. It appears as though the course had set up tee times about every 8 minutes. We were not able to complete the course, and had to leave after 15 holes due to the slow pace.

All they want to do is cram as many paying customers on this course as they can....and to bad for you if it takes 5 hours for your round. Never a ranger to keep play moving and lots of lousy, inconsiderate golfers. NEVER AGAIN!

I suppose if the goal is to cram as many people as you possibly can regardless of the number in each group, and not even come close to monitoring pace of play, allowing 5somes, allowing 4 year olds to hit multiple balls off the tee box, then the folks at Hickory Stick succeeded magnificently. 5 1/2 hours to play a round of golf? Ridiculous.

Fairways are nicely kept, tricky hills and greens are fun. Tee boxes are really good. All around solid course

It is truly like a Irish style links course, many angulations, and tricky greens.

I've played here many times in the past, but this was my first round there this year. I have to say that we were very disappointed with the class, or lack of class, from the other players that have come to frequent the course. We luckily played through two groups that had never played golf before. But then were stuck behind a group for the remainder of the round that had clearly no business being on the golf course. Each player hitting two balls off of every tee, even as we sat there and watched it happen every time. We were verbally assaulted on multiple occasions for doing nothing except waiting for our turn to hit. Just a disgrace of a round that took over 5 hours to complete. The need for a ranger on the course to monitor play has never been more clear to us.

So sure, we got a good on-line deal...$31.00 for weekend play. The course is really nice, challenging. But here was the problem: the pace of play was so ridiculously slow, it ruined the round. On hole #5, there were 5 groups! One group of slow old men about my age on the green, one group in the middle of the fairway, 3 groups on the tee box. This wasn't a par 3 either! I called the club house..."is there a ranger working today?"...."uh...I don't believe so". No starter, no Ranger, no one working the snack bar. I think these owners need to quit worrying so much about shoving 300 rounds thru each day (7 min. starting intervals w/No starter) and focus on giving the golfer a pleasant experience. We jumped over 4 holes, and it still took 3 of us over 4 hours to complete 14 holes! I won't be back anytime soon, which is a shame...a very nice course (if people would fix their ball marks!)

Very nice conditions, an interesting links-style course. One of my new favorites in the area.

We had a great time playing the course. Greens were true and fast Needed to teach members how to repair pitch marks. This course is too nice to not fix your on divot. Fairways were in fantastic shape.
Rough is playable Layout is good

Will play again if ever passing through.

Very nice course with challenging holes and amazing views.

Great condition but slow play
Will return nice layout

The prices are good for the course difficulty and overall condition.

Nice course with large wide fairways and nice greens..fun to play..Highly recommended

Great Course, greens in fantastic shape. Pace of play always a little slow, that just means golf is thriving.
