Old Hickory Golf Club
About
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.

Beautiful course
Great day of golf...only issue was a group of 6 that played the front nine and really held up play...did not see a marshall to deal with it...happily they left after 9 and the back was much more open
Nice course
Nice course but back 9 was extremely slow...waited in excess from 10 on in.
What a great round of golf
Beginning with the warm reception by Brian in the clubhouse, to the friendly service from Elise the cart person, to Larry at the end of the round, the personnel were wonderful. The course was in magnificent condition. The greens were the best I have played on in years. Will return again and again. Hope this review doesn't generate to much additional play. The course is challenging for the new player and sometimes slows down play for those more familiar with this track.
Excellent course as alway
Course is always in great shape. Course was empty and we were shocked because there are always players on the course. The only issue that seems to plague Old Hickory is the carts. They are constantly dying during rounds ....hope they fix this problem soon....it would cause myself to stop playing there.
Worth the money - played twilight - limited yardage help
The course was in fantastic condition, and the greens were true and fast. The only dig I have against this course is the same as Raspberry Falls...there is not enough yardage help on the course, and there are no cart GPS systems. Everything is a guess if you don't carry a range finder, or you are constantly pacing off distance from too far away. It just slows things down in my opinion. Also, if you are paying full fees, don't you think you would be disappointed if the yardage assistance wasn't there? Com' on Man!
Somewhat Overpriced for What You Get
Look, the course was in good condition. The staff was friendly. I was pretty disappointed in the "driving range" and the fact that we had to swap out two golf carts b/c they were busted and wouldn't climb up a hill. If I'm paying what they expect to pay at this course the golf cart better get me around 18 holes!! The sand bunkers were not in great shape either. Most of them had mud puddles in the bottom of them (and we haven't even had much rain...) The greens were good, challenging and rolled pretty quick. It was definitely a challenging course. I don't think I've seen that many sand bunkers on a course in a while. The driving range is a bit of a joke. You have to hit your woods into a net. Or you can go down the line and hit your irons into what looks like a cow pasture. I don't think I will be visiting this place again. There are too many other nice courses in the area to play.
Beautiful course, quiet environment and challenging! holes
Great course, especially with a GolfNow rate (40% off) - played a Saturday afternoon and had beautiful weather. Greens are receptive and fairways are in excellent condition - bunkers were smooth and unbothered. Greens feed toward hole locations on most, which is nice for those of who aren't scratch golfers. Good drives are rewarded. Definitely going to play here again!
Course reveiw
Course needs more ball washes! The course was cart path only should have been 90 degree in my opinion!
Great Course
I have been playing here for many years. They seem to keep their course in good shape all the time.
Good course
I liked the challenging aspects of the course, although the traps are a little steep for non-links, non-professional golfers such as myself. Precision is a must on this course.
Bogey Boi
Best Bang for your buck in the DMV, hand down. The course always in good shape, pace of play is solid, and club house is legit.
A Must Play Course!!
I can't believe it's taken me so long to get over, 30 minutes from my home or so and play this gem.
The course is truly beautiful; despite having many homes winding through it. The abundance of trees leaves you ignoring the homes (which are not shabby by any means!) and concentrating on the challenging and magnificent course in front of you!
I play a LOT of golf and play to a "10" or so and must say; this was quite challenging!! The greens in particular have big elevation changes and you must think hard about shot placement. I played on a Monday and it was not very crowded but still have a few foursomes in front which slowed my twosome down.
There are elevated greens and descending greens. All in all, one of the most enjoyable rounds I can recall and I can't WAIT to get back there and give it another shot!!! LOL
mr
Driving range is poor compared to the course. However, green is fantastic.
Picturesque
Course was busy but not overcrowded, pace of play very slow. Took over 5 hrs to play. Course in excellent condition. Many challenging tiered greens, couple of cup placements on a slop. Had always wanted to play this course, do not intend to rush back, may play once again this season. Too slow a pace. Staff extremely friendly and helpful.
Course with Character
Each hole is different as it snakes its way around a a housing community. Course was in great condition and the green were very soft.
Great Course
Old Hickory has a great layout with a variety of holes. Course was in very good condition. Greens were in great shape and rolled true.
Good value mid-week
Old Hickory is a very fun/challenging layout. Like so many local courses, there is much area to maintain; as a result there are maintenance issues throughout. Still, they do an excellent job with their budget. In particular, the greens are good/excellent. Really, what more can you ask for. Overall, you will find many fair birdie opportunities, and be challenged by par throughout. Par on 18 is an excellent finish!
Practice Facilities
Overall, I really like this course. The one complaint that I have about this course is the practice facilities. They are in poor condition. I am one who likes to get warmed up before a round so I like to get there 30-60 mins early and hit balls and putt. The range area is not in good condition. The mats are in terrible condition so hitting off of them is not so good. But it's hard to get the feel of your swing when you're hitting off of a mat that's in that bad a condition. The putting surface is good though.
This course is beautiful
I really like this course. it is beautiful and challenging to play. The only two things that bothered be today. 1) starter put TWO twosomes on behind the 4 foursomes in front! Arrrgh!
2) cart "person" only had one hotdog. I enjoy a good hotdog half way through my round, but lately, all I hear is "sorry I don't have any" :(
other than those two minor inconveniences in my opinion I LOVE THIS COURSE!
