Old Hickory Golf Club

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.

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.

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!

I play here often, course is nice, practice facility is nice, pace of play is good and would recommend the course to anyone.

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).

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.

I played Old Hickory during the week when I thought everyone else would be at work and found the course was having a charity tournament. In spite of the shotgun tournament, the starter was able to put me in a group with 3 other golfers not involved in the event and we played at a pleasurable pace. The course was in good shape, and the greens were fairly quick. The driving range though is in need of a total makeover. Many of the range balls are cracked, the range is only of sufficient length to hit your irons (5 iron or below) and you have to hit your woods into a net that is only 10 yards in front of you (and torn at that). Other than the driving range, I would highly recommend this course to any serious golfer.

Course was fun but we got behind a slow two some and waited on most shots. Greens looked good and rolled well but someone was scuffing their shoes and really tearing the greens around the hole. The priority was greens and bunkers but there was some deferred maintain in other spots. Pro shop was very professional and friendly.

I've been playing at Old Hickory for years. Still one of my favorites in the DC area. Please keep in mind that the following refer to a round played in mid October:

+ The course layout is excellent - good design, very few blind shots, challenging but fair.

+ The greens rolled well.

+ Fairways in generally good condition.

- The sand was not up the usual standards.

- Marshals could have enforced better pace of play.

During summer months, you might encounter slower pace of play on a weekend; might have some tee boxes that are chewed up a bit. But Old Hickory is never a bad option.

Course layout was great and challenging... However, it was in terrible condition for the middle of the season. Greens were horrible, fairways had significant water damage, and looked like they hadn't been treated in 2 years (like my lawn). All of the above is excusable. What wasn't was the total disregard of the grounds crew to players on the course. We were told to expect the crew to be on the course, which would normally not be a big deal. Except for the fact that while we respected the job they had to do, (not hit into them, wait for them to finish, etc.). They had no respect for our play. Driving lawn mowers/carts right behind us while we're hitting. The worst was this kid moving the pins on every green. He would literally take down the flag right as we were about to make our approach shot, take 5-10 minutes to put a new hole in (which it looked like he used a spade to do), then every other hole, would race by us while we're on the tee box, and repeat for the entire back 9. We actually skipped a hole to try to get in-front of him, but to no avail... We weren't playing slow either (2.5 hrs for 18). We won't be back.

The conditions of the greens and fairways were awesome considering the desert like summer. The greens rolled true and fast and the fairways and rough were green and lush. People need to learn to fix ball marks, divots and play faster. That goes for any and all courses. And if there is a group waiting to tee off behind you and watch you have to hit three of the tee to get one in play you need to be on the range taking a lesson, not holding up a whole golf course. Other than that rant I went on the course is one of the best in the area right now.

My son and I joined up with 2 members. It was a great day on an excellent golf course. I have played here before and have always enjoyed it. Watch out for the 18th. It's tough but fair.

They should get an award for slow play.

Plan on 5 to. 6 hours and wAits of 15 minutes each tee. Only reason they have golf now hot deals is because u can't finish a round for the ttime of deal. Adequate course. Don't give accurate info on phone about outings. Just in it for money.

No Marshall. Don't go here. Not worth high prices

Too slow on a week day in sept. 5 hours.

3rd time like that this summer. One time 6 hours all weekday pm. Course is good average condition given heat.

No marshals for slow 4 some s

Gorgeous weather for a round, some minor complaints include flat tire on the cart, abundance of divot or ball marks on the respective fairways and greens, very hard rough just off of the second cut. Otherwise, very good challenging course to play w/ narrow fairways and elevation changes.

Given the recent weather over the past several weeks I was pleasantly surprised at the course conditions. The greens were very nice, the fairways as well save a few isolated spots.

Pace of place was great, the grille staff very cordial.

Cannot wait to play again!

Played this course couple of years ago and was in very good shape. Loved it! Played 9/5/16 and course upkeep seemed neglected. The summer heat has burned a lot of areas. Course needs manicuring ASAP. SUCH a NICE layout, SUCH a shame the course is not kept in better shape. I hope they can restore it because the track has great bones.

I usually get the chance to play Old Hickory once a year and I am excited the week leading up to this round every year. My excitement quickly turned to disappointment. I arrived one hour early and checked in with no issues. I wanted to hit the range and practice green before the round but the starter told me there weren't any carts available. The range and practice green are down the road by the first hole. I wasn't going to walk down there with my clubs and walk all the way back to get a cart. I wait until there was a cart available and only had time to hit five balls and a few putts. The driving range looked horrible anyway. The driving net was torn and made no sense even being up and the mats were not easy to hit off of. The only things good about my round were the greens and my score. The tee boxes were beat up and brown. The fairways were not consistent; either dry with dead grass or soggy. and muddy. Going to strongly reconsider going somewhere else when it is time to play Old Hickory next year.

Still a great course but the summer heat really did this course.

I called the course to ask the condition and was told" it was in great shape".

Not true...many of the fairways and tee boxes were in poor condition. I have played this course a lot and was surprised to see it in this condition.
