Rating 74.5

Beaver Creek divides Old Hickory Golf Club with nine holes sitting north of the creek and nine holes south. The course has a classic parkland layout that plays across gently rolling hills. The fairways were cut through forests of mature hardwoods but they are wide and carefully sculpted to direct balls toward the middle. Skillful players could even try to use the contours to their advantage. Each hole has a bunkers but the bunkering is not excessive. In addition to the mounding and bunkering, the undulating terrain provides natural elevation changes. The golf course finishes with what is arguably its toughest hole. This monster par 5 is 620 yards from the back tees. It requires a drive over a ravine with a natural waste area to the left. Many consider it to be the toughest golf hole in northern Virginia.

Old Hickory -Good Condition

The course was in great shape when I played it. Greens rolled well, tee boxes were decent. However sand traps could use some help as some were rock traps vice sand traps.

High Quality Course and Staff

This is a great course that is fun, challenging, and well maintained. Greens are in very good shape and roll well. Fairways are generous and lush. Tee boxes are still filling in but plenty of grass in them. Staff were very friendly and service was exceptional. Also it was nice to see the marshall out checking pace of play. 4 hours and 20 minutes on a weekend with a full course was a good pace and enjoyable. Nice putting and chipping greens. Range is small but adequate to warm up. Would definitely play here again.

Call Before You Play

Punched greens, cart path only (due to fertilization), barely playable tee boxes. Informed about all of this after paying and being charged full price. Layout is great but the course needs some serious love.

Rough greens

The greens on this course were not in great shape. Especially not for this time of year. Expected more from old hickory since it is such a pricey place to play.

Not good

This course used to be in good shape. Now it’s terrible. Worst course I’ve played in the area. Not worth the money. Lots of better courses for the price.

Ok

Course layout was very interesting and has potential to be a gorgeous course but for $80 for 3 o’clock on a Saturday I would expect much better conditions. The greens had complete dirt patches scattered about the fairway was completely trashed. If the course conditions were in good shape, I can only imagine it’s a phenomenal course though. I was a Single playing on a Saturday afternoon another Single joined up with me and we waited at every hole for a threesome in front of us. It was almost a five hour round and it wasn’t overly busy.
