Old Hickory Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Old Hickory Country Club in Beaver Dam is situated on land that was used simply as pasture for grazing cattle and sheep before it was transformed into a basic, but interesting nine-hole golf course by Scottish designer Tom Bendelow. Seeing the potential of the terrain, the course was later expanded into 18 holes by Robert Greaves. The golf course originally opened for play in 1920, which has given it plenty of time to mature into the challenging course it is today. Towering oak and hickory trees line the fairways and there are 30 bunkers strategically placed throughout the golf course, most heavily along the greensides. The gently rolling terrain provides subtle but tricky contours. Long, straight drives will be generously rewarded at Old Hickory Country Club, and accuracy is also essential for doing well.

Amazing greens
Have flavored Old Hickory, a number of times this summer and find it to be an amazing. We will kept course and super fun.
Great time
Beautiful course, great condition, fun layout.
Highly recommend. Hope to be back soon.
Fun, good mix
Good mix of long and shorter holes. Some interesting holes. Nice peaceful middle of nowhere setting. Most holes make it possible to find your ball on errant shots Quite a few holes with blind shots. Carts have included built in GPS, which is nice; but they have it set up so slow the cart down to pretty much a standstill when their geofencing says you’re in an area you shouldn’t be (too close to the green, beyond no cart areas, etc)… makes it hard to get back to the ok areas, and also was far to restrictive. This unfortunate feature kicked in many times when I wasn’t within 10 yards of the marked areas to avoid.
Don't waste your money
Course pro said the need to review the Golf Now "thing". Blamed the busyness on too mich business! Condescending and totally unfriendly pro/manager. Course conditions sucked as most of the course was burned and not in nice shape. Goofy ancient layout not appealing to the eye. Pace of played sucked also. Will never go back!
Off the beaten path
Challenging layout. Multiple blind shots and elevated greens. Super fun to play!
Don't overlook Old Hickory
Staff is great
Practice facility is above average
course layout is awesome and much more difficult than it appears.
Greens in almost perfect condition
Hidden Gem
Beautiful course. Great value. GPS Carts and bottled water on the course!!! I travel 45 minutes to play this course.
Great old style course.
Haven't played here in years. Will definitely be back.
Course great - carts ok
Course in great condition for early season. Riding cart set up so information screen was showing pop-ups for advertisements and reminders to fix divots multiple times per hole. It was more hassle than informative.
