Hickory Valley Golf Club (Ambassador)

Hickory Valley Golf Club (Ambassador) is an 18-hole layout in Pennsylvania that plays shorter than its sibling at 6,450 yards, but compensates with a classic, mature design that demands more than the scorecard suggests. The routing winds through hardwoods reaching 70 feet in height, leading to gently rolling greens that slope from back to front. Fairways are impeccably maintained, and the putting surfaces rank among the smallest and smoothest in the region. Welcoming to golfers of all ages and skill levels, the Ambassador still has a few teeth. The par-five 9th stretches to 610 yards, and the par-four 13th measures 465 yards — two holes where many a solid round has unraveled.
