Hickory Hollow Golf Course has a storied history, as golfers have been squaring up tee shots on the dogleg-left first hole for more than 50 years. Players are drawn to the par 73's healthy mix of open expanses and tighter, tree-lined fairways, as well as the dramatic closing holes on both the front and back nines. The approaches on these finishing holes are remarkably similar: they incorporate a winding creek that fronts a green guarded by bunkers, setting up for a difficult-to-read putt that either incites a celebratory player pileup or leaves golfers further down the scorecard.
