Hole Description
From the start you know that you face a test at Hickory Hills. This hole starts you off with a narrow fairway which rises up a hill. There is a severe drop off to the left and a somewhat less severe slope to the right. Add trees to the left and right and what you need is what we all need... a great drive right down the middle! A large tree at the top of the hill is a good place to aim for on your drive. Once on top, the fairway opens up to a green flanked by traps on the left and at the rear. The green is quite sloping and a ball played too far left will continue to run. Head for the right or center of the green and you may have a chance of staying on! We told you this was an exciting course!
