Poor Pace Of Play

Maybe having a starter or a ranger to keep the pace of play would be nice. Between the pace of play and the hack golfers who into you while in the middle of the fairway will stop me from playing here again, the only thing missing was a moron with a Bluetooth speaker. The best thing about the course was the friendly staff.

Great even through the fog

Great Time.

It was a great experience. It was really foggy yesterday and we were delayed. The starter was awesome and he explained it. He let us go out ahead of the rest and it was nice. Pace was awesome. Beautiful and have plans already to play it again.

Hickory Sticks review

Cool place. Lots of hills that allow for some really cool hole designs and tee boxes. Do not even consider walking this course. It didn’t take too much away from the experience, but the cart path may have been the worst I’ve ever seen. Be prepared to drive your cart slow. Front desk attendant was very nice and respectful.

Beautiful, well maintained course

This is a well set up and well maintained course. The holes were challenging without being overly difficult for a high handicap golfer like myself. The course is very peaceful with little road noise. Will definitely play again.

Need a little water

I enjoyed the course layout. Pace of play was good. There are a few blind spots where a bell could be useful from a safety perspective. It was close to 95 degrees I think a friendly reminder at check in or the turn that there is NO water on the course would have been nice.

Good Round

I checked in early and the young lady was really polite. I was early and she said there was no one in front so I could get on early. Course was in great shape. I definitely will be going back to play again.
