South at Hickory Hills Country Club

8 minute interval for tee times is unacceptable. 3 hours for the front nine and gave up. Greens are excellent and challenging but the layout could use some work.

The course is in brutal condition, and the head pro made a convincing case to not come back. Played a 6 hour round behind a 6some, rangers drove by multiple times and didn’t say a thing to the group.

Greens are completely torn up, weeds are growing on some of them. Fairways have rocks in them.

The golf pro working our day couldn’t have been less helpful. Scolded the group in front of us for asking to buy balls. Another man behind the desk mentioned they could buy used balls and the head pro yelled at him saying absolutely not. Very weird vibe.

4/10, horrible bang for your buck.

Course is BEAUTIFUL. Many golf personnel rode the course and spoke with golfers. GM and head grounds guy spoke with us. Was a nice touch. Many new nice things about this course. It’s no longer that dump let go course. This will be the course in a few years. Thanks for two wonderful days of golf.

The course was in very nice shape, better than years in the past

Course in the past few years was really on the upswing for being maintained. This time there was alot of the course in disrepair. Looks like they are making major improvements as some of it looked to be addition of new drainage or irrigation. Time will tell. Carts were newer this year. Staff was as great as ever.

Sent people off of 1 and 10 and it was an absolute it e cluster at the turn.

My brother and I played here on Good Friday. It was a little wet but it is early spring so where isn’t it wet, haha. We enjoyed the wide open fairways, as it was our first time golfing this year it was nice not losing a dozen balls. We will definitely come back and bring more friends with next time.

Place is great! They’re doing a ton of improvements to the course! Kim inside is great and super friendly as well!

First and last. Greens are way too hard... most or all of them on hard inclines. Course condition was not optimal. Staff could be more friendly

A lot of hills and slopes so you get some challenging lies. Will be back

Hickory Hills provided unequivocally the most unpleasant golf experience I could ever imagine. From start to finish I felt like I was in an episode of either the Twilight Zone or Punk'd.

The process of checking in for our tee time felt as if I was checking in for a flight to North Korea. The starter completely ignored my playing partner and I after hearing our tee time to chat with a coworker in front of us.

The group in front of us rolled up with cases of outside alcohol, then got into a shouting match with the starter before they even got to the tee box (which had at least a dozen carts lined up due to overbooking of the tee sheet. They also were able to bring the excessive amount of booze with them despite the show) They also played 3 balls each, drove their carts on the greens and tee boxes, and drove back down the fairway to pick up our balls multiple times. We immediately were hit into twice on hole 2 with no 'fore,' and no apology on the third tee. This happened several more times throughout the round. We didn't see a single ranger during our 6 hour round.

Honestly, I feel bad for the grounds crew here. They obviously are putting a lot of effort into the course and it could have been an enjoyable place to play if it weren't for the unpleasant staff, useless management and overall lake of golf etiquette and safety shown by its patrons. On almost every hole, someone in our group would be addressing the ball and about to swing only to be interrupted by a cart coming off the opposite fairway into ours to take 8 practice swings and chunk their ball 30 yards back into the trees separating holes. This course is TIGHT! It's absolutely insane how close some of the greens are to tee boxes, concession stands and other holes. If you have more money than brains and decide to pay $60 to experience this nightmare of a course, you may want to bring a helmet.

Shoutout to our playing partners who saved the round from being a total loss. We eventually were able to shake our heads and laugh at the absurdity of the situation.

The staff in the club house was very rude. I said hello and the man goes off about how we will get kicked out of the cart touches the grass.

The round started on a low note right there.

We understand cart path only, but he was very stern for no reason.

The ranger had extremely poor manners. Multiple groups were complaining about him. He would drive while people were in the tee box. He was also checking everyone’s cart multiple times through the round.
Ranger made tons of noise and also was giving negative comments to each group.

Pace of play was very bad.

I would not recommend the $70 for a tee time here.
