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.

Fun Course

Old Hickory is a tough but fair course. It has a great layout with a good mix of 'scoreable' holes and tough holes. It's priced better than a lot of the courses in the area and is always fun to play.

Fun course, firm greens!

Fun course, good condition. The greens roll smooth but they are very, very firm. The ball hits, bounces, and will usually run off the back. Definitely play a shorter shot that can roll on the green when possible. I’m a high spin player that uses Pro V1 balls and I didn’t have a single shot stick today. Save some energy for the 600 yard 18th!

Not as good as I expected

Course conditions were not very good. Patchy rough and bumpy greens. Since when should a pandemic prevent repairing your ball marks? Also, it seemed like most holes were just like the last, with maybe 4 or 5 of them different than the rest. Finally, tee and pin placement had every par 3 playing very short. We played whites on the front, and golds on the back, and I never needed more than an 8 iron.

Not bad, but overpriced for the conditions

Good: Great layout and a very interesting/ challenging course. Staff was great as well.

Bad: The current conditions just don't warrant a $100 price tag. Bunkers in awful shape all around with some unplayable altogether. And it's not a coronavirus thing... they've clearly been left to rot for quite some time. Rough was very spotty on many holes. Lastly, it turned out to be the longest round I've ever played at 5+ hours.

Ultimately, would I recommend? Yes. At the same time, I'll be visiting a handful of other courses before coming back again, if that even happens. Reduce your rates to match the conditions provided to patrons.

Great staff. Great track.

Can’t say enough about this course. The staff is great. Polite and helpful, not snooty. For early spring, conditions are great and the greens are coming in nicely. Great lay-out and combination of holes. Thank you Old Hickory for keeping us sane during the pandemic.
