South at Hickory Hills Country Club

If you think Illinois is flat, this will change your view (partly). Very hilly and tight. I thought that the layout was too challenging for the casual golfers that are the main customer. Some greens slope so severely that balls on the wrong part of the green are really not puttable. Balls just roll off the green. Fun to see pros do this, but I'm not good enough to play greens like this. When I play a low to moderate priced course, I don't expect or want this kind of situation.

With the course being worked on for improvement, it has become extremely crowded. I never had any issues as far as waiting to tee off on every hole.
The bad part is the starter allows singles to go out in front of threesomes. And to top it off the single is walking. Now that doesn't make any sense. Hickory has never been this crowded since I started golfing 16 years ago. So maybe they are not trained properly for these situations. Hopefully they resolve this matter and pace of play can be back to a normal 4 hour round.

Round was just ok. Course itself was in good condition except for a couple of greens and fairways. Price was reasonable thru golfnow given the course shape and pace. Pace of play of out twosome was good on front 9 but really slowed on back. Waited on probably 6 out 9 of the holes. Course was challenging. Better shape than previous years I played here. Staff was ok.amenities around club were fine. I’d play again if at a cheap price. Just ok round overall.

Hickory Hills is in surprisingly good condition. So much better than other years that I’ve played here. The greens are in great condition but earlier players did not take care of ball marks and were dragging their feet. Too bad, because they would have been fair even though the slopes make them very challenging. I booked 3 consecutive tee times and the staff was very accommodating. We had a great day!

Course is in good condition, little slow for a weekday morning

The course is in better shape than I expected.
Haven’t played here in a few years and was pleasantly surprised by the course conditions. Most greens are in great shape.

The course is a great condition, beautiful layout...
No refreshment cart;
No ranger moving slow golfers along.
So if you don't mind waiting and trying to self-regulate pace of play...

Excellent course from beginning to end.......!!!!

….finding your way from one hole to the next. GPS doesn’t recognize them either.
Mediocre conditions
