Hickory Knob State Resort:gold Course 10 '15


BJ on the 17th Tee off
Today we played the Hickory Knob State Park Golf Course which  is nestled along the shores of Lake Thurmond.   Located in South Carolina on the South Carolina / Georgia border, this is a challenging 18 holes for golfers of any skill level.



The huge  Lake Thurmond Reservoir Lake serves as a defining feature of this challenging course.  As you can see from the map  and photos below,  the waters of Lake Thurmond are visible or come into play on every hole. 


In order to score at Hickory Knob,  one has to be prepared to hit a variety of shots.


 There is a tremendous assortment of slopes, contours, fairway widths, and bunkering.


Also competing for your attention is  gorgeous scenery,



 Fall color


and wildlife 


Fortunately, Bruce brought his 'A game today' 

BJ on the 17th green


and he played very well on this challenging course.

And me.. well I just played every other hole , 
so I had time to take photos of all the beautiful scenery.
