Friendly front staff, Rude starter

As usual, the front desk was friendly which I can appreciate more. However the starter guy (taller one) was rude. He needs to get traing in communication skills. The course was a little crowded which was understandably thanks to unseasonably fine weather. Overall I had a great time.

Friendly staff, reasonable green fee

The reception desk staff is very friendly which is one reason why I come to this course quite far away from my place. Also, the green fee is relatively reasonable. What I specially like about this course is the wide-open layout which somewhat resembles the Scotish Open courses.

Beautiful Ocean-side course with Friendly Staff

The course has a moderately challenging layout with the scenic Atlantic ocean nearly in sight.

The extraordinarily friendly front desk staff added to joy of playing golf in a perfect weather with two great playmates whom I met in the course.

Mysterious Golf Cart Policy

Barring the course's mysterious golf cart policy, I could have had a much more pleasant experience.

The cart policy is that all customers must load their golf bag into their my golf carts in front of the golf cart staff.

Following the incomprehensible policy, I loaded my golf bag into my cart while the golf cart staff was casting apparently suspicious eyes on me and my golf bag.

When I asked him why, the cart staff (an old guy at least in his 70s) curtly said, "It is a new policy".

I just wonder how many of the course customers may appreciate the mysterious cart policy.

Beautiful Layout Marred by Slow Play

The course layout is second to none in Virginia.
The staff was friendly.
Keeping me from giving a higher rating is a noticeably slow play of some players who clearly lacked basic golf manners.
Specifically, a foursome ahead of me moved literally at a snail's pace and made me to wait after each shot.
They clearly noticed that I played alone and fast. But they never invited me to pass or made any effort to move less slow.
Of course, the scorecard handed by the club unequivocally states that a slow player(s) should yield to a fast player(s).

Beautiful Layout and Surrounding Scenery

The course has a nice layout. Fall colors and sprawling lakes added to the beauty of the course. It was not crowded. The pace of play was real good thanks to the absence of noticeably slow players. Strongly recommended.

Mannerless Senior Golfers

As usual, the course was crowded mostly with senior golfers who, without exaggeration, moved at snail's pace. Some of them could barely walk.
Really deplorable is that, also as usual, none of them ever asked me whether I would like to pass them.
Their golf skills were just as good as their golf manner.

Unfriendly Staff

The front desk staff was unfriendly.
The course was wet after rains.
The layout was good.
I do not want to come back and do not recommend this place to anyone particularly because of the
attitude of the front desk staff.

Super-Friendly Staff, Intriguing Layout, Great Price

The best part of the course was the super-friendly staff who were truly flexible and accommodating. They made me feel like at home. The course layout was intriguing enough to make me come back for the third time despite higher-than-anticipated scores. I bet that this course will thoroughly test your golf skills. The course is designed to not allow any luck. There are few trees which is a plus rather than a minus. The wide open view of the rolling mounds helped me to feel like playing at a British Open course like the old course at St. Andrews.
In short, I had a great time thanks to the awesome staff, fine weather, and fascinating layout.

Beautifully-Designed Course in Great Shape

The best part of the course is that every hole is uniquely different in layout, ups and downs, trees and lakes lining the hole. As such, I felt fresh at the sight of each new hole. The last several holes (Nos. 13-17) are designed such that I felt I was playing in the middle of a mildly mountainous area. Finally and undeniably, the beautiful late October weather should have added to my favorability of the course. In conclusion, I strongly recommend this course to players of any level.

The course is in a good shape, but the staff attitude is . . .

The course is in a better shape than most other courses in the area. My favorable impression of the course, however, was almost negated by the attitude of the staff which bordered on coldness.

Great Course with excellent fairways

Unlike most other golf courses in southern IL, Hickory Ridge golf course has fairways and greens in the best shape they can be. It was truly a pleasant surprise that the severe cold of last winter has done little damage to the course of rolling hills lined with hundreds of hickory trees. The only blemishes were the sand hazards which appeared to not have been maintained for a while and a couple of young golfers who cut right in front of us and left without bothering to saying a word. Definitely, I would like to play again in the course and to strongly recommend the course particularly to the golfers who have gotten bored with playing in flat, easy courses.

Great Course with Friendly People

This course is fast recovering its old grandeur from this past winter's devastating cold. Here and there were only a few, small bare spots on the fairways. Overall, the course looked like a well-groomed resort park thanks to beautiful trees and ponds which are planted across the course. This is a perfect place to kill an afternoon in a relaxed, leisurely fashion.
