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.

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.

Great public course

From the moment I arrived the staff was friendly and professional. The starter ensured things ran timely. The course was well maintained and had a challenging lay out. I will definitely return.

Not worth $75+

This was the first time I'd played here in a few years and it has gone down hill. Tee boxes were a mess, drainage/irrigation issues on fairways (1/3 of the holes are cart-path only with most being because the fairways are perpetually damp). Overall disappointed as I used to enjoy playing here but there are plenty of courses in the area that are nicer and the quality of the course matches the price.

Not worth the time or the money

Horrible. I could overlook the poor conditions of the course if it weren’t for the fact that someone kept turning the sprinklers on me on basically every hole on the back nine. I will never go back. The course itself is more dirt and weeds than grass. Definitely not worth the premium price tag. It could be a nice course if they could somehow rehabilitate it.

Course conditions are pitiful

Have played this course a few times. Course looks amazing through mid June each year. Then it turns into a dog track by summer and is almost unplayable. Dirt tee boxes, crab grass all over greens. It’s a shame this course has potential but no jimvestment in a reasonable groundskeeper. Also not worth 100$+ dollars

It could be great, BUT . . .

Great layout -- it could be a 'go-to' course in the DC area (like Potomac Shores) but the conditioning is not good. The bunkers are a disaster. Some fairways are pretty bad. Greens were pretty good. The driving range is an embarrassment but they should first spend the money on fixing the condition of the course.
