Old Hickory Golf Club

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

1st time playing Old Hickory ... Excellent layout ... Course was in really good condition ... Played 1 set of tees up from the tips and found it very challenging !! I'll definitely come back !! Great value !!

This course was everything I've heard it was and is!!! The course, pro shop and staff are Outstanding!!! Had a great time, this course gives you every challenge and vision you can imagine. Definitely a must play. If I lived locally, I would be a member and only play here!

Excellent course. Well maintained as usual. Narrow fairways and small greens. For me it was very challenging course.

I'm very enjoy excellent you guys everybody thank you

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.

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...

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.
