Great value in Greenwood

Course is in a subdivision but houses distanced so not much of a factor when playing. Fun course with challenges. Exceptional value for the course. Will definitely play again when in the area.

Great course for the $

I've played Hickory countless times and it is always a great play for the price. I've shot everything from a 76 to an 88 here due to the course lulling you into a false sense of security based on a few "easy" holes. Depending on where the flags are and the wind strength the day you play, it can can feel MUCH longer than what it is. Course was in great condition and even with the COVID-19 precautions in place the staff were still friendly and helpful. I'll be back soon.

Just a good spring day in Indiana

Golf course is greening up, greens were a little slow for my liking but not too slow. Bunkers haven't been worked but its April and everything going on its fine. Fairways were good, tee boxes good. No complaints.

Great course

Came up to visit family and decided to play Hickory Stick. It had been many years since I played this course but liked the layout. The course did not disappoint me, it’s a link style course so you are penalized if you are not in the fairway. The tee boxes were in good shape, and the greens were fast as I remember them.

My advice to anyone playing this course, is to see what the pin placement is, and shoot for below the hole. You do not want to be putting from above the hole if possible. I will definitely play this course again when I come back to visit.

Links style

Good course. Pace of play was a struggle but it was a Sunday. Nobody repairs their pitch mark's which is sad. Putts can be bumpy. Wayward shots can be lost. The uneven lies require some focus. All in all, I would go back.

Super slow

The course seemed to be overbooked.
They didnt have a starter. We started 20min late and had to wait at every tee.

Course in great shape

Pace of play was a bit slower than what I expected but was still able to get round finished in 4 hours. Fairways and greens were in excellent shape
