Old Hickory Golf Club

I was very underwhelmed with the course. From it being 90 degree rule with the carts to switching to CPO four holes in because of humidity is a little crazy. The fairways, tee boxes and greens were in horrible condition. Not sure what the $81 I paid was going to but clearly not maintenance. To be told it was cart path only to keep the course in better shape was almost a smack in the face considering there were a ton of dry patches, weeds and no actual grass growing. I love the course layout and it used to be in better condition about two years ago, it is slowly going down a slippery slope. Tee times are always open for a reason. It’s a shame that’s its brother courses such as raspberry can be maintained well but not Old Hickory. The staff is very nice and usually gives out free range balls but not this go around. Understanding it was a Sunday and some slight slow play is expected, however it was quite terrible. At one point we had 4 groups on one hole. I called the pro shop asking for a ranger to come out and help pick up the pace as we were estimated for a 5hr and 15 minute round. No ranger came out, there was no course Marshall the whole round. I tee’d off around 2:40 and finished at 7:15. I have made it clear to all of my fellow avid golfers to not come back as it the course is simply disappointing to say the least. Hopefully this review reaches a few and doesn’t help support courses like these.

The course is in bad shape right now and not worth the money!

This golf course doesn’t even look like a golf course.

The tee boxes are a mess, the greens are awful.

The pace of play sucks.

The staff is great.

Will not return ever.

Drove an hour to Pay 100 dollars and have payed 20 to play a better closer to home.

Do not come here.

This Course was great, fairways and greens are in good condition, and the bunkers were excellent. With a cart, the course had good value for the price. The tee boxes could use a little help, but they did not affect any of my shots, so there was no problems. Overall would play here again!

I play this course about twice a month and even with the extreme heat this year it appears they are losing the fight to keep the fairways and tee boxes green. I love the layout and design but disappointed that they are charging full price a product that is not as high quality as it used to be. For goodness sake put sand in the sand trap.

As per last few plays, it steadily getting back in shape. Not there yet please continue your efforts to improve fairways and tee boxes. Love course layout.

Course conditions were not great. Fairways in bad shape, greens were ok. Tee boxes were bad. For the price it’s not worth it but in a pinch it’s not so bad

Our tee time was for 3pm, unfortunately a golf camp decided to tee off seconds before our 3pm tee time. There were 6 students and we were stuck at hole 1 waiting for over 20 minutes before we began. At hole 3 (and because of our late start), a pushy single player came up from behind us. He was rude and would begin playing the hole before we were properly far enough away. We let him play through, which required us to wait a little more for him. Then we caught up to the golf camp again, but this time decided to skip the hole and come back if time allowed. Time probably would have allowed if they hadn't slowed us down at the start, so we didn't end up playing one of the holes. It was frustrating. Probably not the normal scenario, but it seemed the golf camp started playing without any regard to the tee times scheduled by paying customers and understanding their pace of play (super slow).

Great experience and I look forward to playing again

The conditions (below average) bring down the experience of playing Old Hickory. The design/layout is very good, but they don't seem to care about improving the conditions. Just like last year, too many of the tees have little grass, and yet they aren't doing anything about it. How about some seed or sod? A number of the fairways have thin or no grass (just like last year) and, again, there doesn't appear to be any attempt improve them. The greens are OK but have a lot of ball marks, in part because the greens are on the soft side, so the approach shots break the surface and go down to the soil. Firmer greens means fewer shots digging deep in to the soil, and that translates to greens with fewer ball marks, right?

Oh, if it is raining, the carts don't have club covers. Really?

Don't get me wrong -- the course is quite playable, but it could be so much better if the conditions matched the strong design.

My wife and I really enjoyed our round. The course was pretty packed so it took a little longer than normal. They had marshalls out doing what they could to help the pace, but with 200+ golfers there's only so much to be done. The course itself was in great shape and I can't wait to play it again. The only thing I would like to see them do is add a slope/rating for a tee box which combines the 5980 and 6670 tee boxes.

All good. The staffs are nice and course layout is fun and in good condition. The bunkers need some work but I know the most public courses in NOVA have the same issues.

My first time playing Old Hickory and hopefully not my last. Greeting nicely by the pro shop staff and then headed out to the range. The driving range was the only 4 out of 5 stars for the entire day. They need new hitting mats and a better overall setup.

The course was in great shape. Greens rolled awesome, everything was green and lush. A challenging course, yet very fair.

Jocelyn, the beverage cart girl was amazing and she came around 4 times in one round. Superb! It would help if she had “tap and go” available for her tablet or a credit card reader to help with her speed and efficiency. She is a gem!

I am a single digit handicapper and rate this course very high with the conditions it was in yesterday. I know it will get beat up a lot over the next few months, but hope the greenskeepers can keep this course in the shape I much enjoyed.

I wish you fairways and one putts!

It was very pleasant 9 hole game with my wife on a sunny Saturday. The landscape was calm and beautiful, and the course was very fun. We really enjoyed the course.
