3.50 star(s) Life's a beach, then you drive! Excellent mix of holes, open, semi-open, wooded. Some creative design. Hickory Run is fun and challenging. It will not discourage developing players (for the most part) and has tests for skilled. A variety of shots is needed. Hole 18 finishes right back...

2.50 star(s) Lots of holes. Makes excellent use of many natural alleys for the fairways. Decent tee pads. A small but dedicated group of locals maintain and improve the course. The unique landscape is used nicely. Some holes have permanent alternate baskets, while others are movable. New holes are in...

3.50 star(s) good for the ego Left to right, right to left, uphill, downhill, open, narrow......you will get to play alot of shots. The baskets placements add character and challenge to a lot of the holes. Good tees, most have diagrams. The overall layout makes nice use of the available space. They put...

2.00 star(s) eh Diagrams on the tees are helpful. A few of the holes I would describe as excellent. You see some fine players out here and the members sure do love their home course. I had to wait on lots of foot traffic my first time out, just a little better the second time. Number 11 especially; tees...

2.50 star(s) a welcome addition Many of the holes have very nice tee signs, and all but 2 of the tee boxes are in great shape There is good balance here, about a third of the holes are mostly open, the remaining 2/3 have varying degrees of tightness. Very well maintained, they even shovel the snow off...

2.50 star(s) a nice little park Easy to get around. Clearly visible paths from one hole to the next. Arrows point you to the next hole. You can play quickly. A course that makes good use of a relatively small area. Recently upgraded to 18 holes. As the newer holes become more traveled, the lines are...

3.00 star(s) Justly popular Good tee signs. Good signs for navigation. Very well maintained. Perfect tees. A very nice park, that seems remarkably secluded. Challenging, but fair. Even the long holes give you a good size landing area to balance things out. 18 is a truly great hole. The two water...

1.50 star(s) A pretty even mix of open and tight holes. No trouble with navigation. The creek comes into play nicely on several holes. No trouble with retrieval if you splash down. IMO they did a fine job with space they had, and even though you play some holes within view of a house or three, most of...

4.00 star(s) Near the top of my list. Descriptive tee signs and all the tees line up nicely with the fairways. Arrows point you to the next tee. Uphills, downhills, L to R, R to L...you will have to play a lot of your shots and probably improvise a few along the way. As others noted, creative basket...

3.00 star(s) good first (and 2nd) impression Navigation is easy for the most part. Not limited to one type of hole, there are both open and closed. Challenging, but fair. Elevation changes make for some fun shots. Flow was good, got around quickly. Enjoyable. Easy to get to, just down the road from the...

3.50 star(s) tight but fair A very nice mix of shots that does not favor one type of throw over another. Does not take long to get around the whole 18. No probs at all with lost plastic. Not many. Signage could be better. A few arrows would help. If you are hitting the lines, you can put up good...

1.50 star(s) Needs some TLC Well marked. Good balance of left to right and right to lerft. easy to navigate, except from 17 to 18. The alleys are narrow. This is very fair, because the holes are short. Good tee signs. The river is very pleasant to play along, and doesn't really come into play. Fun...

1.50 star(s) it is what it it Considering the small area, they did a decent job laying out 9 holes with a few alternate tees. There are a few interesting holes. As others noted, there is no way you can play the entire course when the park is being used. Needs either a course map/scorecard or descriptive...
