How are the course conditions typically at Hickory Knoll, especially for the price?

For a public course, Hickory Knoll consistently punches above its weight in terms of conditioning; you'll find surprisingly true greens and well-maintained fairways. It's truly one of the best values around, offering a premium feel without the premium price tag.

Is Hickory Knoll a walkable course, or should I plan on taking a cart?

While the "Knoll" in its name hints at elevation, Hickory Knoll is surprisingly walkable if you're up for a good workout, especially on the front nine. However, we recommend a cart for the back nine's more dramatic elevation changes, particularly on a warm day.

The clubhouse at Hickory Knoll has a friendly, unpretentious feel - perfect for grabbing a casual drink and reliving your round. For a great post-golf meal, skip the chain restaurants and head to "The Old Mill Tavern" just five minutes down the road; their burgers are legendary.
