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 has seen better days..

I've played here a few times, but its been a few years since I last came back. I had fond memories of the layout and challenge of the course, so I was eager to get out and play a round.

The conditions of the course was very disappointing. The fairways, fringes by the green, bunkers, and rough were all in poor condition with patches of dead grass and weeds. The rough has lots of ground under repair with big patches of rock and hard dirt. I think the fairway and fringe around the green is suffering from some sort of weed infestation. Lastly, alot of the bunkers were overgrown with weeds and had large rocks. Making them unplayable unless you wanted to ruin your clubs. The greens were in fair condition.

The range facility is also very lacking as there is a large net 30 feet in front of the range. I wouldn't pay more than $50 here until the condition gets better. Staff and course layout were the only decent things about this golf course.

Online Reviews True

First, if you get golf cart #41 just go home. It barely ran and was an issue the whole rounded. We enjoyed the course layout, but the overall conditions were a little rough and has to do with the lack of rain. The major issue outside of the cart is with all the houses on the course. It is easy to push a ball into a home and the folks the enjoying their Saturday with friends on the deck were loud and didn't care when the golfers were either putting or on the tee. We'll be skipping this course in the future, but the staff was excellent

Fairways

Played course many times. Last few years course was heading downhill with condition. However, this spring brought some very good improvements. Especially the fairways. Things have slipped a little. Please keep up the good work. A great track that deserves a hard effort.

Much better shape than last year

I like this course: got some really interesting and fun holes. Greens and fairways were in good shape (far better than summer 2020). There are too many "Ground Under Repair" patches, But overall conditions are good. Staff was friendly and attentive, and while I didn't eat, they had some killer-smelling BBQ going outside the clubhouse.

BUT: the practice facility sucks. The range is a joke. (I know they can't do much about it, but but gotta be honest.) And they need new carts. From the burned, torn upholstery to the bald tires (we had a tire blow out on our cart on the 4th hole. They ran out a replacement and were very good about it, but the new cart balked going up hills.)

Otherwise, it's a great course.

They are bringing it back

Seems like management cares about bringing back Old Hickory. It’s looking good. Lot of work being done. Fairways are in nice shape. Bunkers still need time work. Greens are WAY better than last year.
