Restoring a Relic

Come bring your family and experience Hickory Knoll Golf Course in the way that it was truly intended.

Our 9-hole golf course has a rich history, with roots that trace back to an era when military members could enjoy a round of golf for just a NICKEL. Today, we're proud to announce a significant transformation as we undergo a major redevelopment to enhance your golfing experience.

Experience golf like never before with 17 new sand traps strategically placed to challenge and elevate your game. We've implemented a state-of-the-art drainage system across four holes, ensuring optimal playing conditions even after heavy rainfall. The greens have been meticulously developed to provide a smooth, consistent surface for your putting pleasure.

At Hickory Knoll Golf Course, we're on a mission to revive the glory days of this historic course. We extend a warm welcome to golfers of all skill levels, but our newly redeveloped 9-hole course is particularly ideal for those looking to refine their short game or conquer a 20-over par handicap.

Join us as we embark on this exciting journey to restore and elevate Hickory Knoll Golf Course. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, there's something for every golfer on our beautifully redesigned course. Come be a part of the legacy – play, improve, and create lasting memories at Hickory Knoll!
