Old Hickory Golf Club
About
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.

Did not honor online pricing as confirmed by phone call
I have played the terrific Old Hickory golf course MANY times over the past 20+ years and I have ALWAYS enjoyed playing it, but because of how I was treated last week, I will never play there again. Online, the Friday rate for seniors was shown to be the same as senior rates for MON-THURS (see uploaded image). I emailed the GM to verify if this was accurate, but received no response. So, I called the course pro shop a few days later to confirm that the senior rate WAS in fact good for Friday 9/29 – I was told unconditionally that the answer was YES. When I arrived at the course on 9/29, I was told that Friday rate for seniors was NOT the rate that I found online and which had been confirmed by phone. It appears that the GM changed the rates online prior to my arrival on 9/29, but did not let me know of this change. To me, this matter was handled unprofessionally.
Course in poor condition
The tee boxes were in poor condition. They would have been bare if it was not for the crab grass. 6 fairways were cart path only. Not worth the expensive greens fees. Premium green fees muni course conditions.
Needs some improvement
Old Hickory is looking rough. Fairways are balding, dry and lacking turf. I hit 79% of fairways that day. Course needs a lot of seed placement in the fairways and water. A couple of the fairways are in great shape, but most need some attention. Greens were ok, and appeared to have been punched recently. I play here a lot and enjoy the course, but all the tournaments have taken a toll on Old Hickory.
Good layout, poor conditions
It was my first time, given rec from friends in the past, my hope was high. Sadly, my experience was otherwise. It could be a fun course but fairway had no grass (literally), tee box had no grass (most spots were just sand) bunkers has no sand. Wish i had taken pictures. Greens were good. There were people looking for balls, hitting it from other fairways etc. i understand it was a holiday but it didn't have to be a 5 hr round. Sad to say i wont go back there for $100.
Know before you go...
Course was CPO due to the hot weather. What??? Better call before making tee time, unless you were going to walk anyways. Greens were soft, slow, and full of un-repaired ball marks. Needless to say, there weren't many folks playing and so they stopped the beverage cart service and most of the water jugs on the course were empty. Way to go...
Fairways and tee boxes are atrocious
Very disappointing experience. Slow play to be expected, but no rangers trying to keep players on pace. But the overall condition of course was not worth the price. Tee boxes are nothing but can grass and other weeds. No true teeing area. The fairways were bare, overridden with weeds and had just been aerated. Not ideal.. it's too bad because earlier this year, the course was in Gohan shape, but no longer.
Over priced goat ranch
I heard this course went down hill so I never decided to play until I was told it had gotten better. That was not the case. Over priced for what the course offered. Terrible tee boxes, awful fairways and average greens.
Watch out for thieves that work there
I played there for a tournament for South Carolina State University alumni. The pace of play was awful, and on the cart path only holes, the Marshall would sit at the end of the cart path to where you had to drive off to let him buy, and then he would yell at you because you weren’t on the path, even though he was also not on the path. At the end of the round I left a rangefinder on the golf cart for 10 minutes and before turning around to try to get it back and was told it wasn’t there and no one had seen it. there should be a reasonable expectation that the workers there are honest enough to give paying customers their things back when asked. The management should really look at who they employ because if your workers are willing to steal from your customers, they are definitely stealing from you. I do not recommend this course to anyone.
Awful pace of play, range closed, tee boxes in bad condition
Pace of play was awful due to a tournament that ran behind and Sunday league both on the same day. Then they decided to close the range while making us wait 35 min to tee off. No marshal around so the foursome in front of us turned into a six-some. Management definitively needs to do a better job of scheduling. For the price that we payed I could have went to a cheaper course and had a better experience.
Old hickory
Pace of play was extremely slow. Took over 5 hours to play 18 holes. Greens were very slow. Tee boxes were only ok. Need some work. Course layout was fun. If the greens would’ve been cut and pace of play was better it would’ve been a lot more enjoyable. Overall 2.5/5.
