What date does the course open back up? (I'm planning a day trip to the area in early March, just curious if the possibility of DG will be on the table)

Typically it opens back up in mid April because it's a community ski hill. So most likely won't be open, but with the non-existent winter we've been having who knows. Worth checking closer to your trip.

Course is closed for the season

I noticed Randolph St is closed off and under construction. Is there any way to still get to the course?

Greg Argyle   July 19 at 12:17pm

Yes, there is a detour around the construction

Lost a few out there…SP Rift, PL Pipeline, and Tour Series Hypercane. All hole 16.

Hey Mack, Sorry about that ... but it would be a little more helpful to us if anyone found any of your missing discs if we knew whether it was 16 Blue or 16 White ... because those are 2 different holes ... just letting you know

Found a purple pathfinder aura ThoughtSpace with no markings, possibly left behind after Tilley's weekend fete. Tell me what hole I found it to claim it.

Hey guys, I was just out there playing this afternoon, and unfortunately lost a disc … on the “Big Bad Boy” (White 17 / Blue 16) … it went into the left rough, and I looked for it for quite a while, but I’m thinking it might have gone far enough to the left to possibly get over that line into the Private Property area … it is a purplish-pinkish Discmania DD2 Distance Driver … with my name and number on the outer ring on the bottom side … don’t really know exactly where it stopped or landed, but hopefully I or someone else could find it … just putting it out there

In my dream world, there are three extra baskets laying around somewhere in the city's storage to put in the South layout's #9, 17, and 18 basket placements, giving us the three proper layouts (south (yellow?), white, and blue) and ultimate mix that Hickory Hills deserves. I know a lot of folks hated on the south layout, but I really liked the holes 8, 9, and 18 from South, and now their gone, gone, gone, and I find it kind of sad.

South 8 & 9 were axed to improve flow and reduce safety risks with new trails. 8’s green area was shifted and repurposed as part of the Blue layout. The longer (intended) version of South 9 was never able to come to fruition, so Original 7 was put back in (White 6). South 18 was removed due to erosion concerns along the creek.

In a dream world we still have the original 24 holes.... but they have done good job putting all back together as it is ????

When is Hickory opening their 2023 season? Just wondering!

Greg Argyle   April 21 at 11:35pm

The city started installing some of the baskets today

Jeff Doran    November 9, 2022 at 12:34am

Anyone know when they pull the baskets here for winter?

Permalink
Greg Argyle   November 9, 2022 at 1:55am

Baskets will be removed for the season the week of 11/14

Steve O    July 12, 2022 at 2:12pm

Does anyone know if the course will be open for public play these dates: 7/31 - 8/5? I know there is a Tourney sometimes around late July/Early August, so just wanted to check and make sure I'll be able to play during those dates? Thanks

Currently no planned course closures for those dates. The Cherry Capital Open is on 7/23 this year. https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/Cherry_Capital_Open_2022

Steve O   July 12, 2022 at 8:50pm

Excellent! Can't WAIT to play Hickory Hills again on vacation this year! SUCH a treat! Thanks Greg

Jay Simon    May 15, 2022 at 2:06pm

Lost a white pro wraith left side of hole 13 and a white MVP orbital with black rim on left side of hole 17. My name and number are not on either of them but would love to get them back. I'll be in northern Michigan until may 26 and will reward if found and returned.

The pro wraith was posted on northern Michigan disc golf lost and found page

George Nemetz   May 16, 2022 at 8:17pm

I've got your Wraith!

Tom "Chrobar" Chrobak    May 2, 2022 at 2:13am

Lost a red/yellow halo wraith on left side of hole 9. Will pay handsomely for return if found. Thanks!

Seriously? Heading up north for the holiday week and playing Hickory was top of my list. Why not wait until December?

Greg Argyle   November 22, 2021 at 5:02pm

The City pulls the baskets every year for ski season. Check out Green Lake and/or The Bear's Den

Lost a boatman on hole 5. Burst plastic pink/beige color. Will pay for it's return if you grab it.

New layout flows a lot better loved playing old 19. should be the final hole. or put back old 20 for the final.

Baskets at Hickory have been moved into the White Course layout. Tee signs are updated to reflect the changes. Be on the lookout for arrows to help navigate the course. Hole 1 of the White Course is the same tee as Original 2/South 3. After playing down Swede (Hole 17), take a right to get to 18’s tee. The exit path is up the hill to the right of the power pole. Check out UDisc for digital scorecard and updated map. Thanks to everyone that helped make this happen. We hope everyone enjoys playing some of the classic Hickory holes.

Still confused. Disc Golf Course Review shows Hickory Hills as having two active 18 hole courses. Blue and White. We are heading up there next weekend. Are there two courses? If not, maybe someone local can clarify that on DGCR and here. Thanks for any input and the hard work on the course. We look forward to revisiting some of our favorite TC area tracks.

Greg Argyle   October 3, 2021 at 9:01pm

Only the White Course is playable at this time.

Steve Nolff   October 3, 2021 at 9:20pm

Thanks Greg. Always a good time up TC way. A bunch of good golf. I appreciate the help.

Greg Argyle    July 20, 2021 at 5:19pm

Lost a streamline trace. See-through brown metal speck. Left side of 16 on the hill, I fell off the teepad and shanked it. Couldn't find it. Name and number on it
