Presidential at Hickory Valley Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
There are two 18-hole courses available at the Hickory Valley Golf Club, the Presidential and the Ambassador. The Presidential is the flagship course and it is also the longer and tougher of the two. The layout incorporates nine of the club's original 27 holes. The Presidential is nearly 300 yards longer than its sister course at 6,721 yards from the championship tees. The golf course has a nice balance of player-friendly features and challenging hazards. The wide fairways are quite forgiving, while the large, undulating greens are framed with bunkers. The signature hole is the par-4 second, which gently doglegs right, requiring a long and accurate tee shot. You're not out of trouble yet though, you'll still have to face the heavily bunkered green that also has a pond to the right.

Great experience
Arrived late for a booked deal-time tee and a league was already on the course. No problem with check-in and was advised to start with back 9. Finished a full round in a little over 3 hours. Birdied one hole and parred 3 holes. Course was in excellent condition. Highly recommended!!!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for the inconvenience of arriving late and encountering a league on the course. We appreciate your understanding and are glad to hear that you enjoyed your round and found the course to be in excellent condition.
Very nice course
Tee boxes need to be maintained and improved.
Nice, challenging design. Staff was wonderful. Grill offered good menu and a number of beverages.
Will return again with my group of 24 golfers.

Hickory Valley a Hidden Gem
Played the Presidential course and it was a beauty of a course, well manicured and in great condition. Some tight holes and will test even the lowest of handicaps. Will definitely be back. Huge bang for your buck!

Hickory Valley a Hidden Gem!
Let’s start with we played the presidential course. We were matched with a single, no big deal at all, great guy. The course is beautiful and in great shape. The pace of play was great as we never had to wait for a shot. The cart girl was pleasant and around a few times. For the money it was a great course a true hidden gem! Will definitely be back!

Great challenging course
What a gem. Great course in the middle of nowhere. Great fairwAys, got think on some holes, can’t just grip & rip. Gotta think ball placement. Greens great shape and roll nicely. Nice pro shop and snack area.

Great day
From the time we arrived, until we pulled out of the parking lot, everything was great. The staff was so nice. The starter took our bags and loaded them on the cart for us. We were offered complimentary coffee, purchased great breakfast sandwiches, and the cart girl was friendly and came around at least four times. It’s over an hour ride but when they treat you good it makes it worth the trip.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Ambassador at Hickory Valley Golf Club.
Exceeded Expects
We lucked out and got out before a men’s league and played in 3 1/2 hrs. Fairways and greens in very good condition, was surprised after several rain days before. The tee boxes were rough with fungus happening on many of the holes. Played Presidential side which has more character then Ambassador side. Will go again soon.

Holiday Traffic at Hickory Valley
Holiday T times were full and no rangers on course to keep pace of play moving forward. Some groups had two open holes in front of them while other groups behind them had multiple foursomes on the same hole.
Golfers several holes back called Pro Shop and manager came out to tell the group behind the slow foursome to pick up the pace?

Great layout, challenging but fair.
Very good experience. Prepaid my greens fee on Golf Now app. Check in was easy. Very friendly. Played as a twosome with son and got around in 3:30. Course layout was varied and interesting and course was in great shape. Lack of rain here has made it challenging I assume. Would recommend. Coming back to play Ambassador course.
