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.

Always enjoy this course

Always worth the drive to this course - great layout and conditions very good although front nine always a little damp for some reason. Always good luck with getting matched up (played as a single) with good groups. Pace of play pretty good with a little wait on most holes - usually not a big deal, but this was at 6:40am - the promise that the members out front would play fast really didn't happen. Warm up/range area in poor condition, from mats to balls - group almost got hit a couple of times on 5th hole maybe due to huge holes in range netting. Bar/restaurant understaffed, although very friendly; regulars clearly get preferential treatment.

Will be back due to layout and challenge, but management group should put a couple of bucks back into the place.

Good Conditions

Course was in good shape -- not great, but good. Greens were in good shape and the ball rolled nicely. Fairways and tees also good. The rough is inconsistent -- high in some areas and dead in others. Bunkers were OK, not great. This is a challenging course and the conditions are better than other courses in the area.

Not good

Very poor conditions. Greens slow and not rolled. Tee boxes not mowed tight. Bunkers contain lots of rocks and can’t generally be played out of. Won’t be back.

It's a fun, challenging course. My only gripe is that the range is in bad shape. I get it that the lack of space means hitting driver into a net but the mats are a joke. And they no longer include range balls so we just hit balls into the net to warm up. That's not good.

Tough but fair

Always happy when I find a deal at Old Hickory. This is one of my favorites. Hit them straight, and you will be rewarded, if you don't, you will pay dearly.

Good Golfing

Practice round before next weekend's tournament. The course seems to be under construction. Some bunkers were being repair. Some signs were down. The greens were slow. Overall, the condition of the course was fairly good.

Staff Made my Round

Played Old Hickory for the first time and I really enjoyed my round. Staff was very friendly, especially golf shop clerk Sheila. She made my time at the course very enjoyable. I'll be back and tell my golfing buddies how nice the course was.

This course is in horrible shape. No notice on GolfNow that the greens were just aerated. Even aside from the aeration, the greens are in really rough shape. Gouges, burned spots, old holes cut that haven’t been filled in. The bunkers are full of water or otherwise gouged out by water flow and rock hard in other places. Most of the “rough” is just dried out dirt. Fairways are dried out/barren and full of divots. No way this should be anywhere near $75.
