Old Hickory Golf Club

Wow, they should inform potential guests that the course is in such bad shape. fairways were literally dirt. Must have burnt them with fertilizer or some other catastrophe.

Course not in good shape cart path only lots of dry damage spots a $40 dollar course for now.

Fairways are barely playable and would be surprised if they come back this year. Nice layout, friendly staff. Looking forward to the course coming back.

I played this course for the first time on 9/5/2021. I was very happy with the layout and elevation changes. As many other people have mentioned, this course lost its fairways (probably due to the lack of rain early, then the deluges we’ve had recently) and they’re in rough shape - pretty much unplayable. The good news is that they are working hard to restore the fairways and I think things are moving in the right direction for recovery next season. They are also working on the tee boxes, so the tees for the most part were not in their normal spots. I imagine when everything is sorted out, this course will play much differently.

The greens are in decent shape and I found them to roll true and a good speed. Of course, they have the usual issues with people not fixing their pitch marks - makes me crazy. I always make it a habit to fix at least 2 on every green

I didn’t take advantage of the off-course amenities, so I can’t comment.

I recommend this course, but wait until next Spring if you can.

As one of the guys in my group mentioned, and many people have mentioned in the comments, this course has seen better days. I’ll take their word for it as it was my first time playing OH. That being said, the clubhouse is aware and they are working to grow the grass on the fairways back by September, even offering a discount to come back again in the Fall, which was a nice touch. The course layout is fun but challenging and the employees are extremely kind and helpful. Looking forward to returning soon.

Fair ways were in terrible condition. The green for the first three or four holes were also pretty bad. But they still charged $81, which is entirely too much considering course condition.

Worst conditions I've seen on a course in a long time, maybe ever. They've let this place continually deteriorate over the years to the point it's almost unplayable. Only saving grace is the greens are in "ok" shape.

I have played this course a few times before and really enjoyed it. Sadly this time the condition of the course was poor. A course marshal offered us a comp pass which was appreciated and he explained that they had an invasion of crab grass which was on the way out>

I'd definitely return as the course is good, I will just wait until the condition is better

Love this course, but there should be warnings before you book a tee time describing the course is currently undergoing fairway reparations. I will be coming back but there has to be some sort of notice before booking.

Staff was great offered a Comp pass to come back in the spring. But the conditions of this course is the worst I’ve seen this year. Don’t golf there let them fix the fairways

This course used to be one of my favorites in the DC area, but has fallen way downhill. I’ve been twice in the past 3 weeks - there are weeds growing on the greens, bald spots throughout the course, very lumpy and oversoft fairways, and my first round took almost 5.5 hours! I hope management can get the course back in good shape, but until then I’ll have to look elsewhere.

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.

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
