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.

First Time Playing

First time for me

I woke up this past Saturday thinking we were in for weather, so I didn't make a tee time anywhere. Logged on to golfnow and started looking after a quick check on weather, I had a window for a morning round with a possible weather (rain) situation.

As I walked into the pro shop, the large wood doors made me feel like I was playing at a country club. The gentleman behind the counter said good morning before I could even look up to realize my surroundings. He was very alert and attentive to any questions I had, smiling the entire time. First impression, great.

As I made my way to practice area, I realized that though it was in the 70's in February there wasn't many on the course. This got me excited, as I don't like playing on top of group in front, or with a group close behind. I linked up with two guys my age along with an older gentleman who was joing us for 9.

The course conditions were excellent, I couldn't find anything negative about the course for this time of year. I was pleased with my play and played the par 3's even par. I didnt dislike any holes, playing them all with little knowledge of what was ahead, I had some fun.

Will be back, very soon!

Winter Play

Great course greens were great for the winter and still smooth. The starter was great at getting people out in time and managing players. Hard to control shots in wind.

Always good to play at Old Hickory

Few players, so our twosome made good time, even though it was cart path only.

Greens were slower than expected.

A little snowman in one fairway was an added attraction.

Accuracy is key

A shot maker's dream, Old Hickory plays short but for all the right reasons. Carving through a housing community, the greens are quick but the layout is fun and challenging. Playing in late fall was tough considering all the leaves you could lose your ball in (even in the fairways), but if you can keep it relatively straight off the tee you'll enjoy. Pace of play was my only criticism, but that's what I get for playing it on a Sunday.

Club house staff all elitist

Club house staff are all arrogant and stuck up.they always look like they have the newest stuff and renovations in the clubhouse,and talking to the maintance crew(which are cool) they are underpaid and they drive all very old equipment which i imagine isnt good for the course.they act like people go tyere to sit at clubhouse and eat overpriced food that isnt even good.good course,could be better.clubhouse terrable.

Challenging in the fall

Course was in good condition but green complexes are too challenging for regular golfers in the dryer fall weather. Most greens are either elevated or below the fairways and multi-leveled. Nearly impossible for most players to stick when running fast.

Pace Of Play

I have played the course several times this year. My consistent complaint is pace of play. Each time I've played here, it has taken over 4.5 hours to play although we were riding with the 90-degree cart rule in effect. Be prepared for frequent hit-and-waits. Other than that I really enjoy the course. I must admit that I have passed up on Old Hickory at least 10 to 15 times because of the pace of play. I really wish management would pay more attention to this issue.

Upscale?

The mid atlantic area suffered a brutal heatwave this year and all courses endured some damage. However all of the courses I play have rebounded except for one, Old Hickory. The fairways and areas around the green were borderline unplayable. I will admit the greens were in good shape surprising but that was the only saving grace. The patchwork attempts with different kinds of grasses looks like the work of an apprentice greenskeeper. It also appears that the lack of attention to detail goes further stll, no balls on the driving range, no starter.

I book tee times for 8 to 12 guys every weekend and we play a lot of golf in prince william county. We will continue to play Forest Greens, Bristow, Stonewall and yes even Prince William.

Upscale, I think not.

Great Fall Golf

Call it what it is, mid November Golf... that was pretty awesome. The fairways are in great shape and if you have to find a ball in the rough and in some of the leaves, that's what happens when you hit in there in Oct. and Nov. That being said... they do a great job of keeping the secondary cut clear. Thought the greens were in great shape and the bunkers were very solid for this time of year. Really good price point, Old Hickory does it well. One of my favorite tracks for a reason.

Fun course but play the correct tees!

If it wasn't for the pace of play, I would have given this 5 stars. What a great Golf Course and if you haven't played here yet make sure you do! The course is in fantastic condition! The greens are extremely fast, true, and undulated! I'm not from the area and I was paired up with a threesome. They were incredibly nice guys, also incredibly slow. The round took 5 hours and 15 minutes and we constantly had people on our tail. What was even stranger, was the fact that we were keeping up with the foursome in front of us and had to wait on them as well. And they were keeping up with the other foursomes . The only thing I could think of is that people are not playing from the correct tees! In turn I could not get into a rhythm at all and shot the worst round that I've had in years. Can't wait to get back to this course for some Revenge!

Challenging, but Fair Course

This course is well designed as it loops through some very nice houses. Although the course is fairly narrow in many places, it offers reasonable chances of making par, (especially from the fairly short white tees). Longer holes had some tough fairway and green bunkers. We played on a beautiful Fall day that also brought out more players. Pace was a little slow for our twosome, but the course marshall was by frequently and did what he could to expedite. We finished in about 4hr 30min. Overall, very nice course and especially good value with the GolfNow deal. Only knock I have is the set up of the driving range (hitting driver into a net and you can't drive cart to the range. Boo).

A great golf experience.

Wonderful golf course that provides adequate hitting areas in fairways with true greens that can be read. Tee boxes need improvement in some areas and the driving range leaves much to be desired. Cannot use driver to verify distance and direction. Must hit into a net with longer clubs. Overall, a good experience and the course layout is great.
