Old Hickory Golf Club
About
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.

Bad green and fairway
The green is bad shape and the fairway is not ideal. Depending on the price you can get, I don’t recommend paying this course at this moment unless you get get a tee time for under 35 dollars.
Great layout, greens still healing
First time playing, great track but greens still a bit bumpy and thin in places (could likely benefit from another tine and some sand actually but doubt they want to punch again as a public course in mid May). The range is terrible but the course layout is very good and overall decent value. Rough thin in places around greens so can get into some almost unhittable spots just a few yards off and bunkers could use sand and edging but pretty much what you expect at this price point. Played gold tees as a scratch and would have preferred a mix of gold and tips as some of the tees were up so played less that 6600.
Solid layout, not so solid other things
Great layout, never great conditions. Considering what they charge on the weekend, the conditions are crap. Awful greens that will never recover from aeration, sand traps are a joke, tee boxes patchy, fairways shaggy. I have no idea where the money goes. And the ranger thinks a 5 hr round on a Saturday is the standard. It doesn't matter if I'm a twosome, a 5hr+ round is a 5hr+ round. Don't tell me I should have played at 6am if I wanted a good speed of round. This course is a 5 of 10 when it should be a 9.
Great layout and fun, challenging course
This is a fun yet challenging course to play!! A number of really good golf holes. I like the elevated tees and greens ... played from the gold tees at about 6,600 yards. Greens were aerated a few weeks ago but should be in great condition by mid-May
Some warning would be nice.
This is a nice track with good facilities and great staff. My only gripe is not knowing ahead of time that the greens had been aerated and were quite rough. They had also suffered from recent heavy rains but had managed that pretty well.
I will definitely go back, just would have appreciated the courtesy of fore warning about the greens when committing to the course for that round.
Punched greens and full price green fees should never mix
This course could have been a joy to play had it not been for the bone dry aerified greens that had absolutely no top dressing. It is also unconscionable for a course to charge full peak rates in this condition. I would not have even made the tee time had there been a warning about the punched greens.
Nice course
Great pace, course decent except several bunkers need attention, enjoyed the round.
One of the Best Courses
Old Hickory is one of the better courses I play on a regular basis. Once or twice during Spring/Summer and also Fall/Winter. The fees are a little higher than the rates we pay at our home course. But in the foursome I play with we think it's worth it. We treat ourselves to Old Hickory whenever We can. We play somewhere every Saturday of the year weather permitting. There was a lot of rain the week before we played so it was cart path only. But other than that the course was in good condition as they always keep it in shape.
Challenging course for all the levels of golfers
Each hole is different and it is fun to play each hole an d totally different hole/difficulty from different tee levels.
The Battle of Old Hickory
6 HOUR WEEKDAY ROUND!!! There's no excuse - and reading Yelp! reviews the pace of play issue @ this course has been ongoing for 5 years. There's clearly no interest in maintaining any pace of play @ this course - sending out a single in between a small outing and 4somes, letting the outing clog up the course, really an embarrassment - Raspberry Management needs to address this. I can't say anything else about this course, the pace was that bad. Literally 6 hours on a Thursday. SMH
Great course too play on
Great course too play on pace was great and in great shape
Mixed Review - Disappointed
The fairways are nice and the layout is challenging. Tee Boxes were ok, very disappointed in the greens the aeration looked to be a few weeks old but there were numerous greens that were in bad shape with larger gashes, significant bumps etc. probably lost 6-8 strokes putting because of the greens conditions. All I can say is that the course generally looked more like a municipal course and not one for the price paid. I have played here four or five times and it appears to have gone down hill. Not sure I would pay this price again.
