Old Hickory Golf Club

Staff is super friendly and course is always in great shape.

Although not super long, OH provides a good test,each and every time out. You need to know where to be (or not to be) or it'll be a long day for the group. Greens are fast and true. One thing that could be improved is a few tee boxes (very thin). Pace was OK, we were 1st group out behind the tournament, but got a great GN rate so it was worth it. Put this course on your list.....

I have played this course a number of times and this one of the the worst conditions I have seen it in. It appears it has been overplayed. The greens had ball marks and small dead spots on them. Balls were hopping when putting because of the uneven path. There was an outing on the course that was not given enough room before they let regular tee times resume so their was a back log. The course is usually much nicer than it was yesterday.

Challenging and narrow at times but playable located in a subdivision lined by homes but with adequate set back.

it's in the hood. Will play again...see review summary

Old Hickory is a stern test of golf. Based on the high number of rounds the course receives, the conditions are somewhat stressed, and greens are kept slow, to prevent burnout (which is expected).

Unfortunately, the pace of play was terrible. Our group teed off at 7:36. There was no course marshall, and the 7:30 group played at a 5+ hour pace, which held up the course, starting from a backup on the first tee. The starter was at the clubhouse, not on the first tee, which provided no visibility to what was occurring on the course.

Our group was forced to leave after 14 holes, as 4+ hours had elapsed, and we no longer could stand the pace of play.

The course brings large elevation changes from tee to green. The greens had recently been punched but they still rolled fairly well for the conditions. The bunkers have very fine and soft sand (great for greenside but the fairway bunkers can be deadly). I would recommend this course for most level of golfers. If you are a beginner this might be a little tough.

The greens are in bad shape. Punching your greens in July with large holes makes putting a joke. 69.00 for a round of golf on punched greens isn't worth it. People don't repair their ball marks or replace their divots either.

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.
