Experience the Joy of Hickory Golf with Our Restored Clubs
Groundhog Hickory Golf is a place where golf isn’t measured by strokes gained, club speed, and a laser rangefinder. It’s where golf is a pastime again.
Come see how simple tools of wood, iron, and leather can create an opportunity to connect with history, the outdoors, and each other
From the Workshop to the Fairway
All our clubs are individual pieces of history. We find original hickory clubs from the 1910s to the early 1930s, and bring them back to their playable glory. Our process brings out the timeless beauty of the antique wood and iron. We also add a touch of flair and fun with hand cut grips in custom colors and designs.

“I had given up on golf”
I started playing golf before I was ten years old. Twenty five years later the game had become a frustrating pursuit of lower scores and even lower joy. I quit the game. I donated my two sets of modern fancy “high performance” clubs to a inner city high school for their golf team with the hope that they would bring some joy to a future phenom. Golf became something I used to do.
Ten years later, my family took my father to Scotland for the birthday of a lifetime. While there, we visited a historic site with a private course that only allowed play with antique hickory clubs. Playing a round without the cart, without all the tech, and with the customs and feeling of a time passed was the most fun I had on a golf course in twenty years.
Upon returning to the states, I set out to bring this fun to other golfers like myself. Whether you are new to the game or played for decades, I hope that visiting this site inspires you to play the game more simply and more joyfully than you have before.
