Hickory Hills Golf Club
About Hickory Hills Golf Club
Hickory Hills Golf Club is a private club in Grove City, roughly 20 minutes from downtown Columbus. The course is routed through rolling wooded terrain and sits apart from surrounding development, bordered by a nature park, so no houses, condominiums or roadways are visible from play.
The layout was designed by architect Jack Kidwell, a past president of the American Society of Golf Course Architects. It features 18 holes plus an additional hole, for 19 in total, with a tree-lined design intended to test experienced players while remaining playable for newcomers. Seven tee combinations stretch the course from 4,635 to 6,889 yards.
