Old Hickory Golf Club

I really enjoyed the layout and will definitely play again but parts of the course need a lot of work. Pros of the course were the tight tee shots, requirement to work the ball often, tough pin spots with a lot of shelf greens.

Cons: Tee boxes were aerated recently but some were in really bad shape. We were playing the back tees and there were a few holes on the back nine where they didnt have the stones out for the back tees? Fairways and greens were in good shape, greens were on the slow side but the holes were cut very sloppy. Biggest complaint was the inconsistency of the bunkers. Some were packed tight, some fluffy, some full of large rocks with no sand at all. There were also multiple holes where it looks like there use to be greenside bunkers but they tried to replace them with grass and then gave up. These areas were completely unplayable but also not marked as ground under repair. Course attracts a lot of hackers, not sure why, but we had an 11am tee time on a Saturday and it was a 5 hour round.

Overall, I'll play again because the layout is great and very challenging but I hope they continue to put money back into the course and make some much needed improvements.

Just had the pleasure of playing the other Gary Player course... Raspberry Falls on Saturday. It was interesting to see the similarities. The greens at Hickory were in much better condition and fast. Arrived after a tournament and had the place to myself. Course is just as challenging as Raspberry Falls.. No doubt I'll be returning.

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.

This course was in great condition, this was one of the best courses I’d played in a while. I’ll definitely come back. The staff was very friendly and helped show me where to start, practice. Great day over all

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.

Great course layout....encountered a rude staff member in the club house at the bar....but the course made up for it!

Great Course! Great layout, Greens, Fairways and Tee boxes! I wish I made enough cash to be a member. I will play this course over and over for $39!!!

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.

Really enjoy the layout. Staff is friendly. Course was in good shape, although the greens were slow.

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.

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.

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.

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.

After all the bad weather rough conditions are expected.

Even though greens were recenyly airated its always great to pamy this track. Conditions were great and overall a great day for golfing with friends on this great track. In a couple of weeks it will be even better! We will be back
