Rating 74.5

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.

Great Layout

I really like Old Hickory. The layout is great. It’s a big Course although the tee boxes all seemed to be moved forward. The greens were in excellent condition. Fairways and tees were also great. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that they changed cart rules from 90 deg to cart path only just as we were teeing off at 2 pm. When we asked why the starter said “humidity”. It was a nice 75 deg sunny day!

The course is coming back. Bunkers still have some meteorites in them. I’ll be back.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Nice, but Some Issues.

It is a bit overpriced and there are four par-four holes that are always cart path only, for no apparent reason. I can see making them cart path only under wet conditions, but the ground was not wet when I played.

I believe this restriction is unnecessary.

Beautiful day of golf

Enjoyed the day on the course with a 3.5 hour round. The course was in great shape and we had perfect weather. I also had the opportunity to interact with the GM on the course Troy and had a good conversation with and he couldnt have been more engaging. We then had some lunch, beers, and a cigar after the round on the patio to wrap up the day. Thank you.

Don’t stop now

A continuation of improvement is still underway. Put this course in supreme condition and it would be very hard to beat. Keep up the good work.

Don't get much for the value

This used to be a really nice course, but it's in terrible condition now but the price has not changed to reflect that. We had issues with our cart on the 2nd hole. We flagged a marshal down and asked if they could send a new one out to us. He told us to walk back to the clubhouse and get it ourselves. Overall not a great experience.

Nice to be back.

Staff is always friendly, positive and helpful. Pace of play was excellent as we finished in @ 3.5 hours. Greens were aerated but cut and playable without affecting your putt. Tee boxes and fairways were fine but a bit more sand in the traps would soften them up a bit. For the first time out this season, it was an enjoyable experience as it seems like this course is coming back to life. Definitely recommend playing Old Hickory.

6 hour play time

I played here on a week day at 10:20. We did not finish until 4:15 pm. It was brutal. Staff did not care about the AWFUL pace of play. The ranger could not care less. The course is NOT walkable. There are SIGNIFICANT GAPS between holes. Over a mile between the clubhouse and the first hole, and a similar gap between 9 and 10. Other measurable gaps between 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 4 and 5, 8 and 9, 12 and 13.

The course is fine. definitely get able. Greens were good for February. around the greens it was very inconsistent.

Nice layout

The course has a nice layout. The bunkers are terrible and basically ground under repair. The greens were good. It was a bit wet out so the course was soggy from the heavy rains a few days before.
