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.

Getting better

The greens are still recovering from being punched. Another week or so and they should be fully recovered. They were still very puttable. The fairways are getting better but also need to grow in a bit. The bunkers were prepared by the course but golfers did a poor (or nonexistent) job of raking. Not the course's fault. I'm sure I'll be back to play

Ole Hickory

Course in decent condition. Greens aerated so.no true putting. Still grass patches throughout the first cut in the fairways. Stay out of the traps as the sand traps are extremely difficult and in true sand trap conditions. Fairways in good condition and should be in excellent shape later in the season.

Improved but still too expensive.

The course is in a lot better shape than last year but it’s still pretty rough and they charge too much for a standard lower than many public courses in surrounding counties. It’s too bad.

Great Course with Cold Hot Dogs

I really enjoyed the course the layout. It was challenging but somewhat forgiving. I enjoyed being able to use all of my clubs. The greens were rolling good and very challenging if you didn’t land your ball on the right tier. The par threes were nice. The course has some short par 4s you can really go after and the par 5s presented a nice challenge. The course is in a nice community but the houses only come into play if you hit horrible shots. The par 5 18th is a great finishing hole at nearly 600 yards!!! I caught it on the Hot Deal and woukd recommend you doing the same…

Quality Staff and Course

It's been about two years since I last played here. I can confirm that the course has definitely improved overall. The staff is extremely helpful, enjoyable driving range, and the course is in its best shape. Great value and a great Saturday on the course!

Returning to form

This course was in my regular rotation 2019-2020, but I saw the negative reviews posted here and avoided. Came to play and was surprised/impressed, as I saw none of the issues other reviewers mentioned (poor tee boxes, dead patches of fairways, bunkers). They could have just been waiting out the winter months before getting the course in better conditions; recommend a round here.

Early season

They took some needed measures last fall. Just beginning to grow in mid spring. Looking forward to May, June for this course. Want badly for course to return to its former qualities. Layout is spectacular, average golfer can have a great day once course grows in.
