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.

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.

Great Course

We played a 3 ball after an evening of torrential rain. However, even though the course was very wet we had a great round.

Staff are very friendly and engaging.

First Time Playing

Great Find! Well taken care of course and layout, Must play agin Course!

This is my first time playing on this course.

Saw a Hot Deal, great value so I took it.

It’s bit far from where I live [about 50 min drive] but heard a good rave about this course so decide to play.]

Also, we finally got a weather break and it was a chance I am not going to miss:)

The layout of the course is very nice.

I played all three tees because I wanted to check the difficulty Level of each tee box:)

Which is fun:)

We are still in winter soground is still bit hard but is well managed and the green is in much better shape than other course I played so I was impressed.

Yes, it is wet due to snow melting so it wasn’t fast but still good rolls!

Overall, it’s a fun and nice course that every golfer will definitely enjoy it!

Still a great layout

It’s January, and we’ve had a ton of rain. The bunkers are in pretty bad shape and the course is wet, mainly in the rough. But I still love old hickory, and the rates they are offering make it well worth it. Can’t wait for golf season and April/May when I know the grounds crew will have this place dialed in again

Over priced

Corse condintions could and should be much better shape given the green fees they attempt to charge. Always book via GN as pro shop will charge regular rates which are often ridiculous. $40 is the max I will pay to play here. Pace of play can also be an issue.

Old Hickory

Course (fairways and greens) was in very good shape except for the bunkers, which were more like green side mini water hazards. Old Hickory needs to fix its bunker drainage problem.

Staff was very courteous, as usual. I really like this course but they have to work on those bunkers.

Slow- Walked off the Course

This course is nothing special. It is sandwiched between giant McMansions in the outer-suburbs of Washington, DC (Woodbridge, VA). They do occasionally have decent greens fees deals on third-party websites. I paid 59 instead of 92 rack rate. Anyone who pays 92 for Old Hickory is getting totally ripped off. Go up the road to Laurel Hill and get a genuine great golf experience for the same cost. The part of this round that made it so memorable was how slow the pace of play was. I know it was cart path only, but the groups in front of us were void of any golf etiquette. Walking out into the fairway to observe their shot then walking the whole way back to their cart on the path to retrieve their club. My buddy and I walked off the course after 14 holes and 4 1/2 hours. I mentioned the experience in the clubhouse and the gentlemen graciously offered me a 2 for 1 greens fees for a future round (good only during non-peak hours). I just don't see myself going back to this course, particularly on a weekend. Too many choices around the area that offer more creative layouts, and don't book the tee time so closely together.
