Description

The Presidential Course is the “championship” side of Hickory Valley—longer, more demanding, and built to test every club in the bag. It rewards committed tee shots and smart positioning, because the tougher holes punish half-decisions and lazy misses. Approach play is the separator here: the best rounds come from controlling distance and leaving yourself makeable putts rather than constantly scrambling. It’s also a great course for repeat play, since you can keep learning better angles and safer miss zones as you see it more. Overall, Presidential feels like a step up in difficulty and drama—serious golf that’s still enjoyable if you play within yourself.

We’ve played Hickory Valley for 30 years and honestly the current conditions are deplorable. Tee boxes, fairways, collars around the greens, general maintenance such as cutting weeds next to the cart paths and around hazards. It’s really in shockingly bad shape and in just a general state of neglect. Greens were fast but had many burned out and dead spots. We played Ambassador today. $65 is embarrassing for the conditions. We understand that the course has low lying areas but not on every hole of the course Sadly it appears that management has given up. There are much better options out there.

Had the misfortune of playing here 6/2. Granted we had gotten a fair amount of rain on Saturday but swamps in the fairways? Played the Ambassador course. Foxhollow closed due to course conditions Monday, maybe someone could learn a lesson. The course was a drainage disaster. The roughs looked as if they weren't trimmed in a bit and you better stay in the fairway or have plenty of balls handy. Stay away from $8.50 pre-packaged sandwiches too. It was devoid of any meat whatsoever. I rarely give negative skewed reviews because id rather not waste my time but sometimes you need to prepare the next sucker. All in all the worst course I've played since a par 3 in the arctic circle. Make sure you only play after a dry spell and they've had a grounds crew work the course.

Played the presidential course, it was in fantastic shape. A fun 18 to play, course knowledge is a must as your tee shot on the course is more important than most. It's an easy course to walk. It's not a legendary course by any means but definitely one you can play everyday and never get bored due to the many different shots that you have the option to hit. Staff was very helpful and nice

It hurts to see how far this course has plummeted. I am a former member, and loved the presidential side years back. It plays tough, especially the back 9, but conditions were always great. It’s just not the case now. The tees are chewed up so badly it’s tough to find a stance. Fairways are a mixture of seemingly whatever seed was lying around in the garage, which is a far cry from what they used to be. Greens are …ok, ish. They had been cross cut, so I don’t want to judge too harshly as that’s likely not the norm, however, the fringe has now elevated itself due to lack of proper care. Don’t pay $80 to play here, not now. It hurts to rate a course I used to love so low, but it’s clearly been left unkept for quite a while. Great potential, just needs work.

The presidents course was in nice shape. Very challenging and tight. Nice design with appropriately placed hazards. Many bunkers had standing water in them. $66 at 240PM this time of year is a little much especially with the pace of play. We weren’t able to get the full round in. There needs to be better managing of the golfers on the course by the marshal.
