Old Hickory Golf Club

Played on Memorial Day, course was not crowded at all. Played in less than 4 hours, and never waited to hit a shot. Course is immaculate, no bare areas anywhere. Greens are two tiered in a lot of cases, with some false fronts as well. Only the best should play the "tips". The par 5 on the back has at least a 225 yard carry over a ravine, and #18 goes at 630 yards.

Staff was friendly and accommodating. A little pricey, try and get a hot deal if you can.

Nice course, good rate, good shape.

Excellent course that you had to think your way around. The fairways offer some good run out so often times you will use less than driver to avoid trouble off the teebox.

The greens were still recovering from aeration and were slow, however the greens are very undulating and require shots to be hit into specific windows. I am a 5 handicap and shot an 11 over 83 from the black tees, which was pretty good shooting for me at this point in the season. A high handicap golfer might be a lil overwhelmed by the course and will definately need a few extra sleeves of golf balls !!

There are alot of very good holes on this course and I will definately like to play it again when the greens are all healed up.

Was a very nice course. The greens were recently aerated, so a bit bumpy, but they are tough. Multiple levels, some putts are impossible. We had a lot of fun playing "best putt" along the way since there was no guarantee you'd end up closer to the hole afterwards.

That said, its not too hard - it was a fund round.

This is a great course, however the day I played the greens were still mending from aeration in March. Can't wait to play here again once the greens are ready, this is a very well maintained course with some challenging holes.

Great experience all the way around. From the Pro shop sign-in, to the starter letting us go ahead of a threesome, to a round that we played in 3.5 hours.

Course was in great shape too.

For $92 I was expecting the course to be in great shape, I was completely wrong. Tee boxes were in poor shape and it seemed as though my ball was always inbetween patches of grass (patchy lies). Greens were aerated quite some time ago but yet the greens were not in good shape, almost felt as though I was putting in my homes shaggy carpet.

I've always enjoyed the courses lay out and you will for sure use all your clubs but for $92 it is not worth the money.

Course is great but the greens are punched right now.

We should've been warned that the greens had been aerated recently or the price charged should've been reduced. Putting was a bit of an adventure. I've played here many times and the fairways and tee boxes are really taking a beating. Hopefully now that there is sand on the carts, people playing will fill their divots. There should be sand buckets placed on the par 3 teeboxes to encourage people to fix their scars. I like the layout so hopefully as the weather gets better, the grass will have a chance to fill in.

Great course - it's long off the tee and a great challenge for the everyday golfer, no matter how talented. I found an awesome deal online but I'll definitely be back. Top 5 course you can play (without membership) in Virginia IMO.

The course was in great shape for this time of year except for the aeration of the greens, and sadly Golfnow did not mention this. Fortunately I understand it is a necessary evil at this time of year so I mostly just let it go. Been fighting health issues for the past 3 months so it was truly awesome to get out on the course, the three guys that I ended up playing with were great company. $38 is a great price for this track even with aerated greens. It offers you ample opportunity to succeed but you will pay for errant shots. I forgot my prescriptions in the cart in a plastic Safeway bag and never dreamed I would get them back this morning. Kudos to the young man working the carts last night, you saved me about $80 and much hassle. There was a little thank you left at the pro shop for him this morning when Troy brought me the bag much to my surprise.

The course was in very good shape, lots of elevation changes and the greens were kind of fast( the way I like them). The staff was very knowledgeable , helpful and really nice. One thing i liked was range balls were free but you had to hit woods and driver into a net. All around it was a good day at the course. I will absolutely play there again.

Great views, nice wide fairways, a very forgiving layout if you go a little to the left or right of the fairway. The houses are not too close so you dont get too nervous if you shank one. Cant wait until it warms up some, this place is going to look incredible!

I played 18 holes on Feb 29th and was concerned that the course conditions were going to be horrible so early in the season. Turns out it was not that bad other than apparently no one who plays this course understands the concept of replacing divots. Other than the divots everything is in better shape than I would have thought for this time of year. The staff was friendly and the carts were nice, the course is fairly challenging but nothing to scare you away. I usually hit in the 90’s and I stayed in that same range here. I would recommend the course, but try to play with someone who has played before because some of the dangers are not obvious. The only real complaint besides the divots on the fairway not being replaced (bad etiquette by players, not the course management fault) is an almost complete lack of yardage markers. There are some yardages on sprinkler heads and the like but we all know how hard those are to find sometimes. They have markers on the cart path but if you are in the middle of the fairway like you are supposed to be those are not all that helpful. My suggestion to management is to put up birdfeeders or something at the 200, 150 and 100yd marks, they could even go crazy and paint them distinctive colors based on the different distances.

Staff was very friendly as always and helpful. Course was in very good condition at this time of year.

Played this course for the first time. Unfortunately, there was a shotgun tournament happening that morning, but they started me off on hole #5 to get them ahead of them. Pace of play was pretty decent. Course was in surprisingly great condition for this time of year. Friendly staff...definitely will be going back.

How can such a great course not have club covers on the carts ?
It rained for 10 holes

The course was in excellent shape for this time of year and I have no complaints about the conditions at all. I will say that the course would be in much better shape if people would repair ball marks and replace divots. The layout is a little odd in that you have to drive quite a ways to the first tee and several times throughout the round you double back on yourself and travel some to the next hole. Not a big deal but it would make walking the course almost impossible. Club house was nice and they had a bunch of different craft beers on tap.

The course is a real challenge; however, the pace of play can also be a challenge. I love playing this course because it will make you think and use every club in your bag. Overall it's a great place to test your game.

The course is advertised as 6800 yards from tthe back tees, 142 slope. On just about every hole there is a big difference in distance from the gold tees (which would be blue on some courses) to the black (back) tees. Short of playing the black tees the course really isn't long enough to be much of challenge. All the par 3s come down from 200ish to 150ish. Nothing is over 500 yards. Off the gold tees the fairway on #1 becomes a chip-shot, #2 the lake becomes driveable. The 250 yard carry on #14 is gone, #16 becomes simple vs a challenge...#18 is just a decent par 5. It makes a big difference to play from the forward tees and even from the back tees it isn't that hard. Probably the course comes down from 142 to 120 or so. The big problem is that hitting long irons into these greens is not a good way to go through life. But in general the course is rather benign. It's a decent-looking course in decent condition ignoring the clear lack of player repair. Nothing to knock your socks off...and the neighborhood is very noisy, but all in all a decent course. Just decent. And probably busy and slow. Nice facilities but the drive to the course is annoying. Overall I'd say that the course is overwhelmed by its surroundings and relative to other courses in the area is fairly benign and average to play. But it does look good relative to a lot of area courses, it has a very mature, well-kept look to it and a restrained layout that is just barely interesting enough for a decent round.
