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.

Can not pass up Old Hickory
Old Hickory is a gem. Bought a voucher off of group golfer and should've had to have paid more. It was unbelievable how great that value was. Wish I lived closer. Definitely a place to play again but needs to be paired up with something else for me to drive an hour and 45 mins.
There is some definitely some Lawosina Links in this design. Course is a old school tree lined fairways with some dog legs both ways. The 10th hole is an outstanding dog leg left with a perched up green. Green speeds were amazing for a $50-$60 dollar course. Loved the par 3 7th hole. The views and scenario in that area is so good. Dont go long or its 3 putt city. The par 4 2nd is a cool hole with a tree in the middle of the a fairway (stay right) and a narrow but long green.
My only beef was the par 4 8th hole. If they took some trees down on the left side it would make it a cool risk reward par 4, but instead you are first to hit a mid to maybe long iron off the tee.
Besides that this place is so good. A terrific value and a must play for everyone in Wisconsin.
Must play
If you live with in 50 miles of the course it's a must play course! Beautifully manicured both tee boxes and greens. Fairways perfect. True links course! I highly recommend it.
Great place
Very interesting challenging layout, hilly, fairways, Tees and greens in good shape- very enjoyable, not crowded, beautiful day and very attentive cart girl.
Great course
We always enjoy playing Old Hickory. it is a very nice course. Enough challenges with some easier holes. Perfect for any kind of player. The staff is excellent and always is.
Dandelion
Course is in very good shape . The dandelions made it hard to find the golf balls. Not crazy about the cart restrictions, enjoy the layout
Not most original course left
Positives: course in great shape, plenty of elevation changes / land movement. Negatives: I was started on the wrong 9 and my round took significantly longer than it should have and the greens / layout was obviously redone and there is not much Bendelow left.
Beautiful course
The course was beautiful and challenging. The fairways were in great shape and the rough was tough as always. The greens also didn’t show any signs we got rain. Great course and a great staff.

Platyed 5/6/24; too many dandelions and for crumb's sake, mow the grass. Comment about cart navigations is right on. A foot off the path, and you are stopped. And the incessant ADVERTISING on the navigation and info screen??? Worse than late night TV.
