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.

Average Course

Pretty typical housing development golf course. Not a very scenic course, but overall, it was pretty well maintained. Got a good weekday deal on golf now that made it worth it. I would not pay the rack rate to play here, though. While we were there, the grounds crews seemed to be working pretty hard to get the course in better shape, tending to problem areas on several holes. That was nice to see.

Early November Golf

The fairways and greens of the course were in great shape even with the prior day's rain potentially offering up soggy conditions. The greens in particular were perfectly smooth and were eager to accept and keep properly angled shots to their surface. The length of the course offered the opportunity to dust off all clubs in the bag. Also appreciated were the drive up and drop off of the cart on arrival and very nice bar and lounge for mid and post round beverages and snacks.

Good course, good time

This is a comfortable, yet somewhat challenging course. Several greens have false fronts, which makes careful club selection imperative. A heavy rain the previous day left the sand traps with heavy wet sand. Should be better under normal conditions. The greens were on the slow side. They were, however, well maintained.

Good Changeling Day

Great course design. Postponed t-time due to extremely slow gathering ahead of us. Starter got us to start on hole 6 in order to get us out but we were stuck in the middle of a terrible gathering. Didn't help that the gathering we playing games on one t-box. Covering your tee shot with a plastic cup? Please.....Once the tournament got done we moved on with none in front of us. Course conditions were ok. Several (I mean several) lies in rough were at the bottom of holes with no grass. I have seen this course with better conditions. Greens were nice and fast. Fall tree color was really nice. Long day but I'll be back.

Challenging Course

Old Hickory is a challenging, fun course to play with a couple of easy holes to start before getting into the round. Course conditions were typical for late summer; lots of tee box and fairway divots and ball marks on the greens. Recommend the addition of more sand boxes on the tees so players can fill in the divots. The golf carts could use the addition of a second sand bottle for fairway divots. Pace of play was slow, but there apparently was an outing in front of us.

Go to Augustine or an other the other area courses.

This place has seen better days. The fairways were ripped up and unrepaired, the greens were pock-marked. Not too much good to say except for the quick pace on the front 9 (about 1 3/4 hour) only to crawl on the back 9 to nearly 3 hours!!!) Where was the marshal was all that I thought waiting at every tee box!

For the money you'd expect better golfing...

A Gem in NoVa

As part of the Raspberry Golf Trail, Old Hickory is (to me) the best of the Virginia courses. It has more character than Bull Run, even better conditions that Raspberry Falls, and you can often play for less than either of the other two. This course really is a good value, which is saying a lot considering where it's located.

The holes have lots of variation and the conditions of the course are top-notch. Greens are pleasantly fast and firm, and hazards are mostly identifiable from the tee box.

I recommend this to anyone in the DMV area, it's a good value in an area not known for them.

It was so disappointing.

They didn't manage the pace of play at all and three of us had to play for more than 5 hours. Course condition was way poor too.

Very Nice but overplayed

The course was in good condition but very overplayed. The greens were in rough shape simply due to ball marks not being properly taken care of by other golfers. The staff all around the course were very nice. I would play here again.

Great Layout

Best layout of holes I have ever played. Some holes are almost impossible to score on., but was fun to play.Staff did not put bag on cart for me. That was a suprise at an upscale course like this. Also driving range is small.

Great layout

This is a necely designed course. Very scenic laout and can be as tough as you want it to be with several tee options. Course was in good shape and greens were fairly fast after drying out from the morning dew.
Enjoyed the round, and will definitely be back.

Course Needs Work

Course needs work. Greens are pock marked and shows lack of care especially by golfers who leave marks unrepaired. Tees and fairways are beat up.

Sunday round took 5 hrs. 10 minutes. Waiting on nearly every shot.

Layout is challenging and the hole designs are unique.

Don't pay more than $55 or you'll regret it.

Great layout, greens need repair

Second time I have played Old Hickory. Very nice course and a good test of my golf level. Fairways good but greens were very potmarked with ball marks and thus bumpy. Not sure if this was due to inconsiderate players or just needs attention. Still had a great round of golf.
