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.

Another Nice Day at Old Hickory

I really like this course. Absolutely professional staff as is usual with the Raspberry brand. Drink cart was out there and appreciated. Greens have improved quite a bit since I played it 2 years ago with consistent, decent speed for a public course. Tees were beaten up a bit as was the fairways. Bunkers were of varying quality. It would be hard to play the ball down here. Still, it's a great layout and value.

First time but not the last time

This was t first time here and I must say it was very nice. I’m originally from California so the course is very different much tighter than what I was accustomed to. Staff was friendly closer was nice… indefinitely be back.

Conditions need imporving

I imagine its been overplayed or lacking maintenance resources for upkeep. Did not look like the course it once was. Tee boxes need help, rough is full of weeds, greens need some work.

Deserves more!!!

Played course many times over 15 years. Was beautifully maintained for a lot of years. However, over last 4/5 years maintenance seemed almost non-existent. Last fall (2021) it appeared they began putting some effort and money back into play. I think only a reasonable amount of progress can be made over the course of a particular growing season. Hence, my low ratings. It’s a great golf tract. It deserves attention to detail. Please continue your efforts to restore this golf course to where it was in past years. If you do that they will come.

Nice Layout, enjoyed the round

Course conditions were good, better than I expected. Greens putt true to the line. Most greens have multiple tiers and the pin placements were difficult but that made it more fun and challenging. Will come back and play again, now that I know the course layout and green slopes. Would definitely recommend playing.

Waste of your money

Course is in terrible condition. Tee boxes are horrible, fairway is terrible, pace of play is terrible, for 97 dollars it’s a rip off.

Good course

Unfortunately we had to play the back nine twice, no fault of the course. Doing work on front nine, that time of year. Course needs a little work, but seems like there addressing the issues. Plenty of bunkers on this course, especially around the greens. I thoroughly enjoy this course though.

This course is in bad shape. The tee box and fairway grass is patchy, and the greens are worn. It used to be a nice course, but the maintenance needs a lot of work.

Course Conditions

It could be the high heat and lack of rain but the course is in the worst condition that it has ever been. Lots of dirt on the tee boxes and in the fairways. The greens were ok. 9 minutes between tee times is not helpful. Put us right behind a tournament which cases almost a three hour 9. Only played nine due to the speed (lack of) play.
