Hickory Sticks has opened its 19th Hole Entertainment Center and its 3 new simulator booths. This exciting new addition allows golfer to continue playing throughout the year and provide something for the Van Wert community and surrounding area to do during the coldest months. The simulators are Unicore QED and operate on the E-6 Connect system.  These simulators are about as accurate as they come and allows golfers to choose from over 100 different courses from across the globe. In addition, the simulators accurately track your swing speed, contact point, loft, spin rate, distance and many other swing and contact questions you may have. There are different golf modes that meet the needs of all golfers including, practice range, short greens, long greens, shot shaping, carnival games, scramble formats, iron specific games and much more.  Two players can play 18 holes in about 2 hours. The 19th Hole Entertainment Center has 5 large screen TVs for sports viewing, a full bar, shuffle board table, darts, apple play jukebox and more that people can enjoy while they golf. The facility is great for birthday parties, bachelor or bachelorette parties, company outings and family events to enjoy a night out as well. The room accommodates about 70 people and we have hosted weddings, Van Wert Cougar team meals, receptions, company business meetings and other events. We hope to see everyone come and enjoy our new indoor golf facility. The new facility is located in our new maintenance building on the east side of the building.  League play has begun and throughout the winter the simulators will host both leagues and scramble tournaments.

Hickory Sticks Spring Opening Update

Hickory Sticks Spring Opening Update

Opening March 30, 2026 with early spring playing conditions. Carts will be available and cart path only play.

The sunshine has got everyone ready to tee off, and we are excited to get the course open and operating at full compacity. Hickory Sticks staff and volunteers have been hard at work preparing the golf course for opening. This week we will have over 20 staff and volunteers cleaning up the course from the wind storm. We have several trees down, branches and corn husks are everywhere, a trampoline in our irrigation pond and trash across the course.  While this weekend would be a great time to open, we will not be ready after the windy setback we encountered. In addition, Wehrkamp Aeriation will be here this Saturday and Sunday completing the final step in our greens recovery plan that we started in the fall.  They will be slit seeding the greens and focusing on the patch kill areas. Between Wehrkamps and our chemical representatives say they expect a full recovery.

Please be patient as we work hard to get the course open. If you are interested in volunteering in our pre-opening process please reach out to Sean Knoch, Corey Clifton, Joel Whitman or Hugh Kocab.
