SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT Hickory Heights Golf Club A nything you can get at a country club you can get at Hickory Heights Golf Club for a fraction of the price. Through 40-plus years as a Class A PGA Professional (now retired) and serving as the Head Golf Professional at South Hills Country Club, Sam Depe, III made strides toward his lifelong dream of owning his own golf course. In January 2009, that dream became reality as Sam purchased Hickory Heights Golf Club and began working alongside his son, Sam Depe, IV. With Sam’s passion and knowledge of golf—and the hiring of Mark Yates as Superintendent—Hickory Heights Golf Club has become one of western Pennsylvania’s finest golf facilities. The very finest golf course experience will await you from the moment you arrive. Sam’s vision is to provide a country club experience at affordable rates and make the game of golf more satisfying and accessible to golfers of all skill levels. Hickory Heights Golf Shop is a fully stocked golf shop and offers everything to meet your golfing needs. The highly qualified professionals are trained in custom club fitting, and in 2017 the shop launched the TrackMan system for fitting the beginner, intermediate and advanced player. Brand offerings include Titleist, Srixon, Taylor Made, Bridgestone, Ping, Foot Joy and Adidas, to name a few. The entire inventory of equipment is available to both members and the general public. Hickory Heights was one of the first area courses with the new state-of-the- art Visage GPS system. According to the club, Visage is a great tool to help golfers play the course and fully enjoy their round and has been indispensable. The pace of play has improved, and the direct communication between the clubhouse and golfers on the course solves issues before they become problems. The GPS HD touchscreen shows detailed hole images, yardage and live scoring. For Hickory Heights, the goal is to help improve your game so you find enjoyment for years to come. Sammy’s Pin High Pub not only offers a casual setting to relax after golf, but is a casual dining restaurant and bar that you and your family can enjoy all season long. With panoramic views of the golf course and outdoor patio (weather permitting), it’s beautiful anytime. With seasonal menus and daily specials there is always something for everyone. The restaurant is proud to offer the “farm to table” concept, which provides you with healthy food and healthy lifestyle choices focused on food freshness, food seasonality and small-farm economics.
