Rating 74.5

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.

Enjoyable 18 Holes of Golf

The course provided a challenging & enjoyabe round of golf on a 70+ degree Spring afternoon. The only downside was the sand on a number of greens, which were probably air aerated a number of days earlier.

Fantastic First-time Experience

For it to be early in 2015 golfing season, the course was in outstanding condition. The greens rolled pretty true and the rough was not overly penal. I will definitely be playing Old Hickory again!

Great Value

Old Hickory is an awesome place to play. It's definitely a trek from DC but one my friends and I have gladly made over the years. The course is reminiscent of a pete or PB dye course with a lot of bunkering throughout the course and are positioned fairly for the most part, only penalizing bad shots. It's a development golf course so the majority of the holes are closely lined by houses. I'm also not sure if the course was bought by new management but the conditions have noticeably improved. The carts are brand spanking new and a lot of the other fixtures and equipment around the course is as well. The conditions were great and the greens look great. Definitely recommend.

Great Indian Summer Day in Feb

Course was in pretty decent shape for early February. Fairways were nice and smooth; Green were slow and bumpy. Some of the Tee boxes looked like they hadn't seen any maintenance since the summer; was really hard to push tees down into the box on most tee boxes. Sight lines are really good; few blind shots. Course could use more signage to help navigate from hole to hole. For a day when the course was packed, it was a good choice to play a round.

Exciting opportunities.

Course is a major risk/reward course with tee shots to undulated fairways and tiered greens. I cannot wait to play this course in season. The front nine was borderline frozen, but you can see the character play through the frost.

Another good option for Beltway golfers

I live in Alexandria, so I have to drive 30 minutes in most cases to find a good public course to play. I'll definitely include Old Hickory in my regular rotation.

This is a tough course with a lot of trouble around the greens. We played the white tees, around 6000 yards, and it was definitely enough of a challenge for a mid-high handicapper like me. The greens were fast, there were lots of elevation changes in the fairway, and the holes were generally pretty tight.

It was hot as heck when I played, and there was a bit of a log jam in front of us. Those were detractors. The course was wet in a lot of places as well. But for a daily fee course, this was pretty darn good.
