Hickory Hills Country Club

Tried to golf here this past Sunday. We stalked the GolfNow app for an hour or so seeing that they kept having a steal of a deal…$ 14 for 18 w/cart…but the tee times available were always only a few minutes out. Every time the tee time passed, another offer came up for the same deal.
Being about 20 minutes away, we decided to chance it. Got in the car, got there, brought up the app… bam, another $ 14 deal had come up.
That’s where the excitement ends. Being registered w/​GN, my bf brought it up in his account and we proceeded to the club house (thru the dark and dreary ‘someone-​may-​kill-​you’ style tunnel).
As he’s attempting to finalize the purchase via the app, the greaseball behind the counter asks if we need help. BF tells him we just purchased the $ 14 tee time for 18 w/​cart and he’s completing the purchase now… Greaseball then explains they don’t have any deals like that, he can’t go that low on price… and proceeds to wake up the computer — push a few buttons, and bam — transaction fails on the app, and there’s no more $ 14 rate to speak of. In fact, no longer lists under ‘Deals from $ 14′ headline on the app home page either.
Hmmm…gee, how could that be. Maybe greaseballs finger slipped and he decided not to offer that price?
Maybe the joke is on us and we should have just finalized the app purchase before going in, but regardless… he took down the deal, and that is bad business. It was a gorgeous afternoon, and not one person that I could see on the course.
If you could have $ 14/​golfer or $ 0 on an afternoon when you have zero business… which do you take?
This ‘country-​club’ will get $ 0 of my money in the future, and I’ll be sure to let everyone I know of the shady deal they’ve got going on. We’ve also contacted GolfNow about whether or not they should accept HHCC as one of their courses in the future.

I used to love coming here because I could come in late, golf twilight for a great price and not be bothered. It just seems like it is so expensive for a not very well kept course. I wish they would step up their game because the course has great potential.

Sub par course in the burbs. Fairways are maintained but rough is really rough. Greens were overwatered which made them extremely slow (it had not rained… this was from their landscaping).
In my opinion front 9 is more challenging than back.
I will probably golf again at some point because of convenience when visiting.
As far as quality, my lens is distorted since I reside in AZ and have some of the nicest courses available year long.

I’m part of a group that has an annual golf outing. This year we changed our venue to this place and except for the banquet facility for the dinner, this course was awful. The actual course is sub par and not well maintained; the golf carts have duct tape all over them, they don’t have a beverage cart and the lunch food was cold.
When we needed a microphone or bullhorn to kick off the outing they didn’t even make sure the batteries weren’t dead. The dinner meal was fair at best.
Poor course and poor service is not a good combination.

Don’t ever play this course. Worst owner ever. No one in the family is a golfer. Nobody cares. There are so many courses in Chicago I have no idea how this place stays open. I used to work here many years ago and the «old man» they speak of could be one of the crabbiest people ever. He is rude to customers, rude to employees.
Go golf somewhere that they respect the game.

Just played this course this past weekend via a speical from
and for the price we paid, it was a steal. The course was lush and green with either wide open fairways or very narrow ones. The one thing is the rough is quite rough… must be all the rain we have been having lately. Lost quite a few balls that day but then again, that’s par for the course for me. That’s right, I intserted a pun in there. Hahhaa…
Anyway, my one knock against the place was our cart while gas had the governor set way to low… Like it was anemic or something. Other than that, I look forward to playing the course again on a deal in the near future!

DO NOT PLAY HERE!!! This is the worst golf course I have ever played in my 20yrs of golfing. Please allow me to list the reasons why you should NOT golf here:
— The grass on the greens is longer than the fairway on some holes.
— There is standing water on every hole which means there are mosquitos everywhere.
— I would say the sand traps are worse than mud, but that would be an insult to mud.
— The «halfway house» is never open.
— There is no water in any of the water jugs on the course.
— The tee boxes on every hole are so bombed out and messed up that there is nowhere to tee up your ball.
Don’t play here! You’re better off staying home!

Let’s see, expensive — check; greens in terrible condition — check; can’t tell where fairways end and rough begins — check; graffiti in the golf cart — you better believe it.
Thanks Hickory Hills, for ruining what used to be a pretty nice golf course back in the day!

THE WORST GOLF COURSE! Was here for a outing and should of know something was up when the guy at the counter first words were «no refund». No fairways, more weeds than my neighbors yard, all greens were over run with debris on it. Play at waters edge!

South course golf review: enjoyed the elevation changes a lot. The «fairways» were thick and needed to be cut. The rough was very tall grass. Only two sand traps and a couple water hazards.

Best kept secret in the south west burbs. Challenging & fun course. I’ve been playing here for at least 15 years. Great place to hone your skills. My favorite golf course of all time

Don’t be taken in by the fancy structures and landscaping that you see when you enter. The owner is the cheapest, rudest person I’ve ever met and believe me, I’ve met quite a few.

Negative 5 stars if I could. I went here to redeem an expired Groupon, fully expecting to pay the difference. The manager was ready to ring me up when an old man (the owner) behind a desk said «No way! I’m not letting you out for $ 11.» Aside from the fact that what he did can be construed as stealing from me, not to mention that the course was completely empty (nobody had teed off for an hour), this rude display of customer service is appalling. I can see why the course was completely empty. I’ve played at a lot of courses around the Chicagoland area, but I will NEVER go here again. Why give your money to an a-​hole when there are hundreds of courses around. Nothing special about this place.

This is my co-​workers home course, and he invited me to join him in June. I have played the course three times with him, and it has been a lot of fun.
The front nine holes are more challenging than the back nine. The greens are well maintained, but they are slow. The fairways are well maintained, but they are not pristine. The course makes you use every club in your bag. There are a few holes with elevated greens which will force you to hit a niece approach shot.
Overall, it is a lot of fun, and I will continue to play the course.

This review was for the wedding banquet portion only. I attended a wedding here a few weeks ago and was happy for the bride and groom, but the banquet hall, meh. I understand budgets and getting all the family/​friends together and how that can do some serious dents to the pocket book. But there are way better options in the Banquet Hall Land (aka, the Southwest suburbs.)
The customer service was okay. The bathrooms were clean. The parking was plentiful. But the food tasted lost. Perhaps it was the lackluster pasta and rubbery sausage, rainbow shiny beef or greasy bowl of chicken. Not to mention the vegetarian options (there were a few veg people at the wedding) who had the options of iceberg lettuce salad, rolls and salty instant mashed potatoes.
My opinion: No, no, no.

Quite possibly the WORST golf course I have ever played!!!

Would not golf here again. Extremely overpriced…$ 50, for fairways that are wayyyyy to long. Little difference between the fairway and the rough. Greens are just ok, also too long and very potted. In a matter of speaking, the golf carts absolutely suck. The carts are very old and many do not run properly. (we had to exchange twice) (NO GPS). Plenty of other choices out there. You can tell «the old man» is just sitting on the land waiting to sell it off, unwilling to reinvest the extremely high green fees. Also in the area is Water’s Edge, which is much better and cheaper.

This is one of the few golf courses I have been to. The greens here are superbly maintained, and they offer lessons for the golf impaired (people like me). I had a set of clubs last year, and finally got off my dead butt, and decided to learn the game a little more. My instructor was a former golf pro, and tried his best to get me on my game. But unlike Tiger Woods, I never had an“A Game” to begin with, and even after patient instruction, I still am not that good. But he was just phenomenal. Not only is this a golf course, they also have a banquet hall called the Château. I have been to countless weddings at this location, and they have all been beautiful. The rooms are gorgeously appointed, and there are many pretty gardens and gazebos that have made for some outstanding photo opportunities. The food is spectacular, especially the fillet Mignon. The fees for morning golf with a cart are exceptionally cheap as well. Be sure to call for a tee time, because they tend to fill up rather quickly!
