An immaculately groomed course that is challenging and fair. No hunting for your ball in tall grass or overgrown shrubbery, only the most extreme off-line shot might be a lost ball. The clubhouse support team is courteous and friendly, no "warnings" about "speeding up" are heard. The restaurant menu is varied, and the meals delicious. Green fees are reasonable and affordable. I always enjoy golfing at Hickory Hill in Methuen MA.

I like the layout here a lot. Longer and more open on the front, hilly and tighter on the back. The course is in great shape, especially given the rain this summer, and the greens are rolling really nicely.
The food in the clubhouse is very good, drinks are reasonably priced, and the staff is great.
The driving range has grass tees and sees a lot of traffic,but it's a good spot to warm up and hit a few before your round.

Hickory Hill - Methuen
Had high expectations going into my round today. Had a great time on in the front 9. We stopped at the clubhouse at the turn and grabbed a couple hot dogs and some drinks. The group behind us didn’t go in so we let them play through. 2 minutes later here come ranger Joe telling us the place is sold out and we don’t let people play through. So instead he made the group wait for us to play. We could have just taken their spot in line but apparently that was too much to comprehend for this gentleman
Fast forward to 13th fairway. Ranger Bill comes up to us saying we are going way too slow, we are way behind pace of play and we need to hurry up. Mind you we literally couldn’t play and faster because the group ahead of us was still on the green. By the 18th I was just done with this place and won’t be going back ever again. There are much better courses in the area. Oh and we finished in 4 hours 45 minutes and pace of play was 4 hours 30 minutes.
