Hickory Valley Golf Club
About Hickory Valley Golf Club
Hickory Valley Golf Club's Ambassador course is the shorter of the club's two layouts, making up the difference with a classic, mature design. The scorecard can be deceiving: the routing threads through stands of hardwoods reaching some 70 feet high, finishing at gently rolling greens that slope from back to front.
The Ambassador suits a wide range of ages and abilities, with maintained fairways and putting surfaces that rank among the smallest and smoothest in the area. Holes 9 and 13 are the course's sternest tests, and have undone many a good round.
