About Hickory Sticks Golf Club

Hickory Sticks Golf Club is a scenic rural course in California, Kentucky — the small Gallatin County community on the Ohio River north of the Greater Cincinnati area. Set on rolling Painter Road farmland in northern Kentucky's most sparsely populated Ohio River county, the course offers a genuine rural golf escape from metropolitan life. Hickory Sticks delivers a friendly, laid-back atmosphere where golfers can play at their own pace without the pressure of crowded tee sheets or strict dress codes. The layout navigates open farm terrain with tree lines defining several holes, creating a classic rural Kentucky golf experience. Golfers from the Tri-State area occasionally discover Hickory Sticks as an off-the-beaten-path gem where authentic small-town hospitality and very affordable golf combine for a memorable round. The course is ideal for golfers who value the social and recreational aspects of the game over prestige or polish.

History

Hickory Sticks Golf Club was established to bring affordable recreational golf to Gallatin County, one of Kentucky's smallest rural counties where a local course made the game accessible without long drives to larger facilities. The course has served as a community gathering spot for California and the surrounding Gallatin County communities for decades, embodying the small-town spirit of rural northern Kentucky.
