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.

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.

Good Weather, Good Conditions, Great Deal/price, EXCEPT...

There was a shotgun tourney started 30 mins before my tee time...unusual to me. Two groups ahead of me, foursome playing best ball and terribly slow. Group ahead of me, two guys two girls, worse...course is not for lessons nor loud music. It took 50 mins for the group behind me, a fivesome to catch up. Didnt know courses allowed that anywhere. Greens in pretty good shape but patrons don't repair their ball marks (nor rake the bunkers). Leaf-blowers needed on some fairways. No starter, no marshal...took over 4 1/2 hrs for the round.

Great Layout

I was mildly impressed with the maintenance and overall condition of Old Hickory. The greens were in very good shape, fairways and tee boxes much improved from just 3-4 weeks ago. The layout is fantastic. Lots of doglegs and elevation changes. As always, the pro shop staff were very helpful and respectful. I look forward to playing Old Hickory more.
