Old Hickory Golf Club

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

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 but back 9 was extremely slow...waited in excess from 10 on in.

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.

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.

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!
