Hickory Sticks Golf Club offers an affordable, 18-hole par-71 golf course with all the challenges and obstacles you would expect, including elevation changes, water hazards, strategic bunkering, and tree trouble lurking. Hickory Sticks Golf Club is in California, Kentucky, just a 27-minute drive from Cincinnati. It sits in Northern Kentucky right along the Ohio River, which serves as the border between Kentucky and Ohio. Hickory Sticks uses a dynamic pricing strategy, meaning green fees are always changing to accommodate supply and demand. In other words, you’re likely to find a better deal during an off-peak time with bad weather in the forecast than a beautiful Saturday morning in the middle of the golf season. It’s worth noting, however, that Hickory Sticks offers senior pricing during certain times that can be around 30% off the full rate. Hickory Sticks also offers a 5-day season pass for $600 for a single or $900 for a family, with junior ($200) senior ($525), couple ($800), and senior couple ($650) options also available. Hickory Sticks measures 6,148 yards from the back tees with four total teeing options, playing to a par of 71. The course rating from the back (black) tees is 69.1 with a slope of 131. There are four par 5s and five par 3s in addition to nine par 4s. The par 5s are tucked at the beginning and end of the round, with Holes 1, 3, 17 and 18, offering a chance to get your round started and finished hot.
