4.00 star(s) play it Elevation changes and hole placement are awesome. They used each area of the course perfectly. The baskets are in good shape and, if you're playing it for the first time, it's easy to find your way around. Challenges a lot of different shots and sets up well for a player with finesse...

5.00 star(s) One of the best Both the Original and the Monster course are amazing. The fairways are mowed and the holes are surrounded by wood chips. The hole placement is perfect; each hole challenges you to make a different throw. The monster, especially, is a blast to play. There are elevation changes...

2.00 star(s) jungle The layout of the course is very challenging and would, if the course were kept up better, be very fun to play. There are two tees on each hole which, if the course were not over grown, would make it good for beginners and more experienced players. The only times I've been, I've been...

The majority of the holes set up really well for a lefty or a righty with a good fore hand. It's a...

1.00 star(s) Don't Do It to Yourself There's not an awful lot to like. If you're from town, it's a fun course to take new players to but there is an awful lot of vandalism. The last time I played, someone had stolen one of the holes. In the summer, they set up a softball field that takes a couple of holes...

4.50 star(s) There is a huge amount of diversity at Hickory but it definitely favors big arms. There are some beautiful holes, especially on the back. I think it's hole 17 that offers a panorama of Traverse City and Grand Traverse Bay and it's a 600' + bomb down a ski hill with woods on either side. There...
