Old Hickory Golf Club

Very nice course. Challenging but fair. The first 9 was slow due to a large outing but picked up on the back. The staff explained all of this when we arrived so we weren't surprised or frustrated by it. Worth playing.

This is a good course with a number of challenges. Staff was very friendly. It was an enjoyable round of golf on a very nice summer day. Anyone playing this course will find it challenging but rewarding.

I had a really bad experience on Wednesday. They didn't have a starter so people were going out entirely to early and everyone was clustered. I was a single almost all day and there were foursomes in front of me that had no intention of letting me play thru. So I skip a few holes, soon to be caught behind another foursome. If there was a starter all of this would have been sorted easily.

Overall, Old Hickory is a great layout with stunning scenery, challenging holes and risk/reward opportunities.

Unfortunately, the course is in "so so" condition due to a lack of sand in the carts, which leads to many unfilled divots in the fairways. Similarly, golfers do not appear to repair their ball marks on the greens. The greens themselves are in great shape, but are pock-marked and do not roll true.

This would be worth every penny of full price if those two simple issues were fixed.

My brother-in-law recommended this course as a backup for days when our course is closed. He described it as enjoyable and in good condition.

His comments were an understatement. The course has the feel of a private club with the conditions and amenities. The layout is great, the pace was perfect. I am definitely putting this on my short list of courses to play.

DO NOT PLAY HERE ON THE WEEKENDS: PACE OF PLAY IS 5+ HOURS. For $90 you should expect more. We were the 5th tee time on Sunday and we were already behind 10 minutes. By the time we got to hole 12, there were 4 groups waiting to play. 1 group on the green, 1 in the fairway, 1 on the tee box and 1 waiting for the tee box. When we called to ask them to send a marshal, they did nothing. We finished 12 and 13 and arrived at hole 14 at 10 a.m. At the current rate of play it would have taken 5.5 hours to play the course. We decided to call it a day and let the assistant pro know. He was quite unprofessional and let us know that we were not behind. He said that they don't count the time the reservation is made as the starting time. They use the time that they here the first ball struck on the first tee as a starting time. So i guess there is not point in making a tee time there as they do not count starting late as a pace of play issue. Even with out the 10 minutes differential we were behind. Overall we waited on every tee box, there was no sand on the carts, they greens were recently aerated (should be an automatic discount), and the practice facilities are not up to the $90 price tag (can't use driver and mats were very badly worn).

This course is very well designed and very enjoyable. There is one issue and its the pin placements. For some reason, the management insist on placing about half of the pins 10-12 feet from the edge of the green. It makes the round of golf seem like a trip to the family put put course with clowns and windmills. I wish they would stop doing this. I have seen it every time I have played the course and kills the experience.

I have played this course several times and really like it. I don't play it too often because of the expense. I bought this round through GolfNow at a discounted price. It was probably discounted because the greens had just been aerated. The greens and the course in general were not up to the usual standards of this course. I'll think twice before playing here again at a discounted price

Beautiful fairways with smooth fast greens. Unfortunately they were just aerated but still putted well. Will definetly play again.

A beautiful course, fairly tight. On many holes, the sides drain to the center - forgiving. A fair number of divots, but didn't affect play. Many complained of the slow pace - we finished in 4.25 hours, tee'd off at 3pm on a Sunday afternoon. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Lay out of course give me fun. I enjoyed it. But, on the fairway, there are too many divot marks. And oops!! aeration on the green.

From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a friendly young woman in the pro shop. She informed me of the complimentary practice facility and let me know that I could go out when ready. The course is in great shape. The only negative was that on two holes, the water stations were empty.

This is an outstanding course let down by players and staff not insisting on the basics. Greens were great but heavily ball marked and numerous ball marks let untreated. The bunkers were unraked by previous players. Tees were very scruffy due to heavy traffic.
The course needs to enforce the basis etiquette and players should respect the conditions of course when others are playing behind.
It's still a great course and fun to play back lacked that sparkle which would make it awesome.

Had a blast. My friend and I played 36 in 6 hours with no wait times and the staff was very helpful getting us around a 2nd time. Would play over and over!!

First few holes are a little helter skelter in placement around the residential community, but course gave a 3-4 round a year hacker like me a good challenge. I think the greens are little more difficult than most of the other public courses I play. Will be prepared to place my iron shots into the greens a little better next time. Had my Son with me so how could it not be a blast!

I've played this course numerous times. But this was the first time in 2014. It was divot central. the fairways were riddled with divots. Normally we would play it as it lies, but it seemed every drive a ball ended in a divot and it just got to be irritating. the greens were loaded with unfixed ball marks. I found myself spending more time fixing ball marks on the green rather than focusing on my putt. But that is my issue. the pace of play was great, but then again I was playing at 6:56 in the morning. for 72 bucks, I would have hoped for better fairway/green conditions.

I'd play again, but would be weary about the divots and greens again.

I found the shots from the tee boxes very fair, but most of the pin placements on that day were insane. The people I played with are regulars and said they had never seen pins like that there before.

And with all the rain we've had, the bunkers were very thick.

Regardless, I love the course and will go back.

From the friendly staff to the condition of the course, golfing at old hickory was an awesome experience. I would recommend the course to everyone.

Played once before with a friend a few years ago. its an high end course, but was able to catch a deal on Golf Now so the value was better. Driving range only allows driver use into a net, so that was disappointing. All else was pleasant.

Good course to play under $50 on week day we'll maintain
