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.

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.
Disappointed
It would have been nice to have been informed that the greens had been aerated prior to getting to the making it to the first green. For the condition of the greens the rate should have been half of what I was charged.
Great course from tee to green
Course in very good condition from tee to green. I liked the layout and great views from each tee....crosscut fairways, bunkers in great shape, greens rolled true and held good shots. Pace of play was just over 3 hours. Highly recommend this course and will play again when I'm in the area.
Excellent course
Stellar course layout.
Each hole is memorable and challenges
your course strategy and management.
Greens in great shape .
Beautiful property to build this course
Great caours
This is a n interesting layout and condition is excellent
Good course overall
Fairways are tight and tree-lined on most holes. Course condition is above average for this time of year. Greens rolled pretty good but a few were bumpy. Strangely enough, the course does not have a viable driving range, can only hit irons, otherwise can only hit woods into a net. Not well kept in driving range area for a high-end course. Long distance from clubhouse to first tee is very strange and not well marked. There are things to live about this course, but it needs some variety rather than every hole having tree lined fairways. Overall, pretty challenging. Last hole plays over 600 yards from second set -- birdied it for the first time.
Long Poke at Old Hick
If you haven't play here it is worth the time. This is a really nice course and layout that can offer couple of challenges especially if it is windy. You will enjoy teeing off from the first tee box to an up hill green. Make sure to keep your head down or you will end up in the water!.
The greens are usually pretty fast after the are formed and rolled after aeration. Sometimes tough pin placements will challenge you but don't be a sucker.
The staff here are really great and very friendly. After working in DC all week it is nice to be around good people or shall I say happy and friendly people. The starters love to talk smack and will have you smiling before you tee off.
good luck and enjoy the course.
Old hickory
Course was in excellent condition & the greens had a great pace to them. The only issue was some of the greens were not completely filled in yet from the last aeration. Being the 1st time playing this course I should have got a course book, because knowledge of where to place the ball could have made a difference in my scoring. Will play this course again.
Not bad
Fantastic views really a great layout the fairways looks like crabgrass it's making it its way in.
The greens looks like they were air rated a while back and haven't completely closed yet.
I'm sure when the season gets started it will be in great shape
Always a solid experience
Old Hickory has always been a predictably fine experience. Fast greens, great friendly staff, great course conditions. The course itself is interesting, appropriately challenging, and rewarding if you do your part. There are no hidden, blind shots, and it's hard to lose a ball if struck reasonably well.
Try to get a discount, or use Golf Now to take something off of the $90 green fee. Even though it's worth the retail fee, it's still a bit high for retirees and such.
Overall, a great experience.
Not worth playing
We played this course last year and the conditions have really gone down hill. This course does not live up to the Raspberry Golf Trail standards. They obviously put profits over quality here. Most tee boxes looked like someone dug it up with a backhoe. Fairways and greens were spotty at best. To make matter worse they put an outing our right in the middle of our round. That turned into a 5hr and 45min grueling round. When I spoke to the staff after the round they could not care less.
Don't waste your money here. Travel 30mins south and play Augustine where you will have an enjoyable round and be treated like they want you come back.
