Old Hickory Golf Club

This course was a great experience. Great character and challenging layout. Large greens with lots of break. Great conditions considering the wetness. Had a super WOW factor. It was wet the day we played from lots of rain and therefore cart path only and was quite slow but somewhat expected. The condition of the course was great.

The course is very well maintained but the greens were a bit chewed up in certain areas. Of course players do not fix divots for the most part and that's the main reason for not being in top shape. It took our foursome 5:15 to play despite a 7:36 tee time and keeping up with the group in front of us. That's unusual for that course.

I enjoyed the course due to the fact that it is fairly forgiving and well maintained. Play was a little slow, but we were stuck behind a few less that average players. The marshal did come by and state that he spoke with the group and that was appreciated. The club house and staff were nice and well appointed. Greens and bunkers were very well maintained, and ran true. Ill be back for certain.

We play here all the time and this time wasn't what we expected. The course was really wet and I don't blame them for that, but still could have been maintained better. A lot of the tee boxes were pretty bare and many bunkers had standing water in them.

We'll be back, but it was still a bit disappointing.

our foursome thoroughly enjoyed this course. be advised, playing the tips on this course would be extremely diffcult for average golfer. our group played from the golds and had several approach shots of over 200yds on the par 4's. the 600yd 18th was also challenging, but fun.

it had rained that morning and the course did not drain well, most of traps held water, and tee boxes were very wet (must have a clay base). would definitely play again.

Pace of play was great and course was in decent condition - tee boxes were pretty beat up, but otherwise good shape.

The range is not great. There were very few balls available, and nowhere to get more. Now, on the other hand, there is no charge for range use so that's great.

A good test of golf and a nice track.

This course is in great condition. Outstanding value for the golfnow price.

Great course with good length! I think who ever placed the pins that day was the spawn of The devil! Ha ha. Very tough pin placements that day!! Challenging course where course management is a must. Traps that day were horrendous! I'll chalk that up to the recent downpours. Glad I missed them!

I love this course. It's always in great shape, and I can usually find a good deal on Golf Now for under $70. I wouldn't pay more than $80 to play here (I try to pick tee times that are in the $50-60 range), even though I think it's worth $80-100 it normally goes for considering the shape it's in. It's definitely longer than most courses in the area (from the black and gold tees) and it's pretty challenging. Great course layout and some of the best greens you'll see on a public course in Northern VA. The course is very well maintained from tee to green and everything in between. I've played a handful of country clubs in the area and this course is definitely country club quality. If you like to drink while you play (I usually like to enjoy a beer or six, depending on how well I'm playing), the cart girl is attentive and you can even open up a tab with your credit card! Golf courses everywhere take note! The pace of play has never been an issue for me, and it's only a short drive from the DC area. If I had to find something negative to say about this course, I guess the driving range could be bigger (since it's only about 230 yards deep, you have to hit woods into a net - a small concession I'm willing to make for an otherwise great experience). Even the clubhouse is impressive, which features a full bar, which is great because I like to have a drink on the deck and watch players finish on #18 after my round. Whenever I use Golf Now, I check for tee times at Old Hickory first. Highly recommend.

Great course, greens roll true with challenging pin placement.
Great staff, especially on the beverage cart.

The course has generous fairways, and immaculate greens. The rough was certainly penalizing, but fair.

With the Golfnow discount it was still $70. Very nice course, but as with NoVa, it is overpriced. Course is in good shape, greens are fast and smooth.
Would play again if the price was right.

Played at 4pm in the afternoon for $40 (without the golfnow discount) and joined up with a threesome at the #1 tee. Didn't get a chance to warm up or use the practice area but was told you can only hit the driver into a net. Course was in fantastic shape and the greens were fairly fast and true. Due to a tournament that day the hole positions were very difficult. Overall a challenging course and gorgeous layout.

I won't go into too many details .. go there 4 pm or after since the daylight is longer these days .. not too crowded, course is in great condition (the greens are awesome), & not we were not frustrated with waiting around .. check it out !

Had a great round at Old Hickory - not my score as much as the experience. Love the course and it was in great shape. It was also nice to tee off at 11:30am on a Saturday and enjoy the course almost to ourselves - I guess because of the holiday weekend.

Nice course. I live 15 minutes away so it is convenient for me. Unfortunately, I may not be playing here much anymore. The prices are too steep early in the day. We reserved a 3:51 on Sunday, May 26. The first tee is a good ways away from the clubhouse and they must not have a starter at the super twilight time. The course couldn't care less...they sent like 8 groups off of 1 at the same time...we did not tee off until 4:10 PM and it was a major logjam. My buddy was paying for his round and asked the guy checking him in "how he was doing" and the guy responded with "wait a minute". I've also had the guy behind the desk tell me when I was a single that I could basically go to anywhere on the course where I could "find an opening". At the time, I appreciated it, but if he is telling multiple people that then it creates a culture of people driving wherever they want with no order.

I do NOT recommend this course if there is no starter. I do enjoy the course when there are not many people on it, unfortunately the crew at Old Hickory are not very friendly and efficient.

I'll be going to Westfields or other courses in the area.

friendly staff. appreciated the starter getting us as a twosome out before a couple of foursomes. clubhouse a bit dirty (women's locker room). carpets needed vacuuming. grounds crew seemed oblivious to golfers; didn't stop mowers when groups approached.

Decent value. A well maintained course with cordial customer service - most of the staff except for the starter seemed like they would rather be somewhere else actually. Pace of play was close to 5hrs on a Tuesday morning so that was rough. Priced a bit high at $60...but not terrible. Would recommend this course to friends.

Course was in pristine conditions - Hole placement was a challenge on some greens, but still had a great time. Pace of play was better than average.

I believe I've given this course a fair shake -- playing half a dozen times in the past two years -- but it's over; I'm officially done with it. It's well maintained, and the short game practice area places one in a great frame of mind to start the day, but the house-lined fairways, relatively narrow landing areas (at least if you value a somewhat flat lie) and, in particular, the multi-tiered green complexes conspire to drain one's enthusiasm by the 6th hole or so. Save your money and go play elsewhere; it's certainly not worth the drive down from the DC area.
