Big Hickory is a great asset for a small town like Manchester. It offers a beautiful 9 hole experience that cannot be found anywhere else.

Greens are in good shape, unique layout… only issue I have is the last 2 rounds I came to I was blessed with a 5 stack in front of us that held everyone up and the 2nd round on a different day there was a 6 stack on the tee box that held everyone back from finishing! Grass needs mowed. First hole can’t find ball bc of all the range balls in the fairway.

Love this 9 hole course! People are what you would expect in a small community, wonderful. I am by no means a golf pro. Really pretty bad. I mostly play at four different KY state parks, this is what I am comparing it to. The greens at this course are the best I have played on, with the second best being at The golf course (really was the name) which now I believe is now closed. The greens are very fast when conditions are right. Just got done playing 9 holes with some friends that never played this course. The greens was super slow after all the rain, don't think they had been cut for a few days. Friends commented on how fast the greens was, I was complaining on how slow they was! There is no sand traps, I think it helps keep the cost down. There is water, sometimes too much for me. The carts are all in great shape too. For the money, I don't think there is a better course anywhere!!!! A whole 10 bucks for 9 holes. It is a 9 hole course. I wish they would put two holes on each green. You expect chandeliers, a five star restaurant, high dollar sports cars in the parking lot, well you need to go elsewhere. If you want to have a great laid back time and do t want to spend a arm and a leg to play a round or two. Check out big hickory! I don't know how they keep the cost down as they do. Wonderful little course! Thank you Manchester!

It's only a 9 hole golf course, but it's beautiful. Not expensive, either. Must go at least once to see the beauty! It's also not bad in the off-season.

Big Hickory is probably the finest 9 hole course in Kentucky for playability, breathtaking natural surroundings, and affordability. If you are visiting Southeast Kentucky, just passing through, or live in a nearby county, come visit and play this Clay County gem!
