Waited to long, Should`ve played sooner

Staff was super, Course was GR8 for this time of year.
I`m so glad I played, W/ my son, Never played this course before, But I can`t wait to play it again. The layout of this course is super, It has a little of everything, uphills-downhills-lefts and rights-Water
sand, blind shots, And beautiful Trees everywhere. Very Mature course. Really waited to long to play here. Can`t wait to do it again.Playing golf is Gr8, Playing golf with Family is Priceless , I`m Glad my son was with me, He liked it as well..........
Jack Nickolas said it was one of the best courses in eastern Pa,,,,,,,, He might be right................

A Heads up , Would have been nice!!!!

We used our Group Golfer Coupons, We called and made Tee Times..
When we showed up , They took the coupon very quickly, no problems.
After they put it away is when they told us.........
Cart Path Only, And oh by the way We have not cut the course yet, But the greens were rolled.....................
Wells folks let me tell you:
The fairways were like rough, The greens were like a shag carpet, seemed like they were rolled with a Pillow, Not cool at all............ I think a Heads up when I called to make the tee time would have been nice, Its not like the course is down the block. It`s a decent ride from my home to get there. I think the staff really dropped the ball on this one. Won`t be back for awhile !!!! For this time of season, The course was in bad shape.............................

Maintenance Monday???

First off ,,,,,,,nice course, Go play it. Uphills , Downhills, And real doglegs,,,,,, Nice course!
Gr8 staff, Friendly.
But if I had to pick something,,,,, Maintenance, They were all around us following us on every hole. Not cool. The starter told us about water,,,, 3 stations per 9 holes, That would have been nice if the workers would not have been drinking and emptying the coolers . we had no water to drink,,, It was very hot, I had to call the club house for water, I don`t know if they went out it was behind us..................

Other wise than that nice course.......

Everything in the Bag ?!?!?!?!?!?

IT`s possible you could use every club in the bag. This place is a real JEWEL of a golf course. Just north of Philly , They have the price a little high, But with golf now,,, it`s in my budget,,,,, This course has every shot you can think of. blind tee shots, uphill and downhill holes, and a taste of the PLAYERS ( an Island green ) that you`ll go back for a second helping... If I had to pick one thing, The carts,,,,, I wish they would have better carts. GPS would be nice,,,
,Besides that,, From the tips at 6400 plus yrds,, this place is CHOICE!!! If you don`t visit Bella Vista,,, Your gonna miss out on a GR8 track!!

How much is it ?!?!?!?!?!?!???????????

First I must say that this place is nice, If you like to give money away.. 2 courses to choose from, 1 course no better then the other,
The money you pay is a little steep, But it`s Sunday,, it`s golf , what are you gonna do. But for the price you pay, they should have better carts, the carts they have are GARBAGE!!! Even the guys ( starters ) say so, But what really got me was , At the turn I went into the clubhouse for a drink , I grabbed a Arnold Palmer ice tea , The can is marked big red numbers 99 cents, When I went to pay for it , It was $2.50, What the heck, A 1 hundred and fifty percent markup ( with that kind of markup they should buy carts ), When I asked the lady , she said that's the price, nothing I can do,,,,,, Is this a loud by law?? This place really has a market on the I don`t care about the CUSTOMER kind of thing, they charge a lot of money to play, They should give the player a small bucket of balls to hit to warm up, but they don`t according to the starters they told me the big boss just wants he money, Well I don`t think I`m telling my friends about this place, Sorry Hickory Valley YOUR JUST NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!

SpikeJr - we're sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your round with us. We do care about our customers and strive for excellent customer service. Unfortunately, in the case of the beverage, she has to charge the amount she is told. We hope you give us another chance! Thank you for your review.

No longer a last thought??

Never really thought about this course before,, Can`t tell you why, just didn`t. But now that I played it, Now that I know it`s not far from my home, I want to tell you ,,,,,,, WHAT A NICE PLACE ! I can`t wait to get back there to play again, The price was reasonable, very fair, I loved the Mom & Pop feel of the club house, it seems like family runs the place and when you walk in for the first time as I did,,, I was welcomed into the family right away, what a gr8 feeling, not something you get from more advertised places, this place was awesome. ya, It`s a different layout, 5- par 5`s,,,,, 5 par 3`s- But the layout has it`s own personality. from the first Tee , I knew I was going to like it. fun, laidback, no pressure, a great place to play. try it once, I`m sure you`ll go back..........

Not feeling the pinch in Feb??????rates were high

First,, I paid full price, No golf now discount,,, I don`t what. or when the winter rates are ,,, Or if they have them in Oklahoma,,, At any rate , The course was not worth $38.00 Plus dollars,,,,Not for this time of year. After I paid the booking fee to golf now, then full price greensfee, it turned out to be more then if I would have walked in off the street.............
Ok ,,,,,,,,,,, so I pay my Greens fee and I went to the driving range, and practice putting green, they were both ,,,,,just ok, again the time of year ,,, I understand that. Then I went in to buy a soda,,,,,,,OMG!!! $3.00
for a 20 oz bottle,,,almost $4 bucks for a hotdog.
I started thinking that they want to make up for last weeks little snow storm, ( a dusting )
The staff was very nice, but the prices were just not right , for this time of year,,,,,,,,,I`m from Pa,
here in Oklahoma for school, But i can tell you this, If my travels would bring me in this area of the world again, I will play else where...Sorry
Silverhorn, your more like a plastic trumpit to me...This course would be better suited for locals who know about the unmaintained creekbeds the washed out areas of the fairway, the bunkers with red clay type dirt,,, not sand, The time it took to play, it was a long day, while waiting to tee off ,,, I was wittness to 2 groups of 5 players , yes that will slow thing down a bit,,,, I had to wait on every tee box. Not a good day

Golf this time of year

You wouldn't think you could play golf in November, but you can. and you can play at hickory valley, the course was well maintained, didn't have to look for the golf ball in the leaves, they had the course cleaned up of leaves, the greens were really nice and the fairways were cut and the whole course was in great shape, the staff , they were great to, I played the ambassador course it suits my game, if you really good you can play the presidential course, either way play hickory valley
you`ll be glad you did

Greens air-ration,,, full price???

I made up my mind ,,, by the 2nd hole. that I would not be back!

They had no notice that the greens were airrated, Then they charged full price, most places let you know, and give a discount,,
the fairways where not keeped well,, alot of weeds , and different kinds of grass growing , all over the place.

The course was tight,, there were balls fling over our heads on alot of holes, I never heard 4 screaned so much in my life.
you need a flack vest to play this place

do yourself a favor,,,GO SOMEWHERE ELSE
they dont cut the grass even any where, not maintained at all.

really 6 bucks for a hot dog and a drink, they don`t suffer , with the economy

I drove 30 miles to play this course, next time I`ll stay closer to home.

Way Behind,,, old looking

Not a good start< I got to the course very early. 45 mins early. And the first thing I find out ,,, that my tee time was pushed back over 30 mins, No Ranger, No staff to help speed up play. No I wont be back, $40 bucks, for a chip and putt course,, And I drove about 50 miles or so to play it, I should have stayed home..................
