Very fun course

Course was in great shape. Greens were great as well. It will be a fun course to learn as there are several scoring holes. Only recommendation to the course is to check their carts. My cart seemed as though it had no shocks and was a very rough ride that was uncomfortable. If that’s the only thing negative to say, they are doing a great job.

Still a great place to play a casual round

Clean facilities and friendly staff make this a nice course for a change of pace. Sundays are always slow no matter where I play and this was the same. Course was in decent condition and greens were running pretty true at a reasonably fast speed. It's definitely time to do some work on the cart paths...please! Staff was helpful and friendly as always. Definitely worth playing.
Thanks!

Hidden Gem

We were paired up with a single and had a blast. It poured the first 2 holes, but the course drained well, and we were off the paths by the turn. The course is beautiful. I would call it "rolling". Not extremely hilly. I think there is 1 house on the entire course. Beautiful view of the river when you pull in. The greens were some of the best public greens I've ever rolled on. Can't wait to play Hickory again.

Hickory sticks

I have enjoyed playing this course in the past. During this round we were rushed off of each hole by the sprinklers because they had an afternoon scramble. Staff immediately rushed us upon checking in and again at the turn. If there isn't enough time to play a round at a comfortable pace, don't sell the tee time. The way the staff treated us ruined the experience and made it not worth the money. Hope to have a better experience if I go back.

A hidden gem!

This course was in immaculate shape! Pace of play was awesome, but in fairness, we were one of the last foursomes to go off as they were preparing for a golf outing. But I will be golfing here more in the future. The course if out in the middle of nowhere and a one late street to get to. But once you get there, its a golfers paradise!! Highly recommend!

Fathers Day outing

Course was great! Will be back. Courses like this on these busy days need a ranger to keep up the pace of play. Group in front of us had no clue about pace of play which made it very frustrating. I heard arguments between players, just not good course management.

Great course

Fun course out in the middle of nowhere. Very nice folks in the pro shop. Nice electric carts and almost deserted on a Thursday afternoon. Not super long course, but small greens made it a good challenge. Course, especially greens were in great shape. Only downside was they started league play at 5pm and we got bogged down as a result on the last 4 holes.

Always love going to Hickory Sticks. Love the course layout (especially the back 9). Probably my favorite course to go to in NKY. Also you never know what kind of wildlife you may encounter whether it be some turkeys walking along the wood line feeding or a deer darting across the fairway, it’s always a great time!

First time playing here and will defiantly be back. The course was in excellent condition, with some great views.
Rough was rough, so don't hit it in there. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Good hot dog and cold beer.

Beautiful course

Awesome views from some elevated tees, played there many times, worth every dime. I used my credits from Golf Now this time normally around 35.00 to play.

Little bit of a drive out along the Ohio river on the Kentucky side would say across from New Richmond Ohio is about where it is. Would probably play there more if it was not such a haul.
