Many in our community have likely heard about the barn fire that took place at YMCA Hickory Sticks Golf on Wednesday of this week.

The maintenance barn and office were a complete loss including all maintenance and grounds equipment to properly run the course for the upcoming season.

Thankfully, no one was hurt during this situation and due to quick responses from emergency services, CERT and others, the damage did not spread beyond the barn.

That being said, it will take a great deal of effort and support to be able to open the course on time for this season to serve our members, guests, and local organizations that patronize Hickory Sticks Golf Club.

Not only does Hickory Sticks Golf run daily golfing for members and guests, they host multiple tournaments and outings in collaboration with local businesses and organizations. They teach and host youth golf clinics and teams. They offer free foot golf and Frisbee golf to youth and families as well.

A GoFundMe was started by Eric McCracken and other local supporters in order to help purchase new grounds equipment so that the course will be ready in time for the start of the season.
