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.

With a little more care...

Course seems to be typically wet, hence "cart-pathy/only rough" all the time. Because of the many trees, many leaves on the course, making it difficult to see/find balls in rough and fairways. Under all the debris, the greens are actually pretty good and fast (putt), holds and spins well (shots into)...if players would fix their ball marks (and an extra one too) and maintenance team use their blowers (am & pm). No rakes in the bunkers, they could use a maintenance run too. Would pay around/under $40 but not more than, considering pace is always an issue here.

Very slow.

We did get a late tee time with plenty of time to finish 18. There was three groups in front and it took almost three hours to get through the first nine holes. We didn’t see a Marshall out there moving groups along. The staff was great and gave us a voucher for the 9 holes we didn’t finish.

Terrible

If I could give it 0 stars, I would. The pace of play is unacceptably slow. It took 3 hours to finish 9 holes, and was only able to play 15 holes, in FIVE HOURS! The Marshall was asking if it was slow behind us. That doesn’t even make any sense! The club house is nice, but the fairways are beat up. The bunkers should be GUR. I won’t be playing this course again, and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. It’s a shame because the layout is pretty good.

Do not recommend

Poor conditions, poor tee sheet management, would not recommend ever playing this course. They pack the tee times 7minutes apart and do not Marshall slow play. Hardly a good patch of grass from tee box to green.

Upscale?

It seems like most of the course is in some form of renovation. Some bunkers filled in covered in weeds others grown in under repair. Fairways have so many different grasses growing unevenly. Cheaper courses in the area are in far better shape.

Great Course

Overall a great course. Had some issues with fairways with mud and either work vehicles or carts driving on the fairways after the amount of rain the course had the days prior. Staff was very friendly and amenities were decent. Overall great experience.

Great Course

Old Hickory has definitely improved over the last year. The course conditions were night and day difference from earlier in the year. Cart path only on a lot of holes but given the improvements in the fairways and greens, I can see why. Good round and course for the GolfNow price.

Course - VERY BAD CONDITION

Better drainage is needed and this course is in need of a very good superintendent that can get this course in optimal condition.

Surprisingly bad

Hard to believe the cost for this course considering the conditions. Most bunkers were littered with rocks and crabgrass was on some greens. I’ve played out of the rough that looked better than most of the tee boxes. This course used to be a course I’d circle on the calendar to play. I have a hard time thinking that I’ll be going back anytime soon…

Driving range

Fairways and tee boxes look like an abandoned out if business golf course. ...the last time I saw a course in this bad of shape the following year it was sold to builders for a new home development. I'm guess that's what's happening here.

Nice layout

Greens were in great shape. Fairways are a mess due to disease - no notice when booking on site which is disappointing. Staff was great.
