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.

Autumn Ridge

Great course and in great shape What I liked about it was that you can play 4 different distances 5 if you count the red tees.

Course is set up for any golf ability! Low to high handicaps.

Only negative was the food. Over done hotdogs on cold buns.

Classic midwest country club.

A great, midwestern style country club course--lots of trees and lush fairways. Rough not too punitive. Only issue with condition of the course were the bunkers that were too hard. A few blind tee shots, but nothing that seemed gimmicky. Enjoyed the course.

A VERY CHALLENGING GOLF COURSE

OLD HICKORY IS A VERY CHALLENING COURSE THAT HAS EXTREMELY FAST GREENS AND A ROUGH THAT DEFINATELY MAKES YOU PAY FOR NOT HITTING THE FAIRWAYS ! OH DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE TREE LINES THAT LINE THE ROUGHS !!

This course is classic old course design

Narrow fairways with plenty of trees that tightly line the rough. Good greens that are fairly true. You have to hit many of the greens to have a good chance at a decent score.
