Old Hickory Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Great layout
I love the layout of Old Hickory. Lots of doglegs with elevation changes and wide fairways. The course is long if you don’t swallow your pride and play the correct tees. I’ve stayed away from this course for about 1 1/2 years because of reviews mentioning decline in maintenance (poor conditions. There still are some fairways that have bare spots, but you can see the improvements in maintenance. I played right after a tounament. Greens were in good shape and running true, however the tournament players weren’t interested in fixing ball marks. Overall, a good experience. I’ll be back!
Horrible, Stay Away... Just Kidding. Getting better every day
I played here for the first time last Fall and the course was ROUGH. They wee, apparently without a head greenskeeper for a while and it showed. I am now playing it regularly and they have a new Greenskeeper his is working hard to get the course back in shape, and it shows. The fairways and the areas around the greens are filling in.
The greens have always, in my time playing the course) have always been in good shape. They are challenging and pin placements add difficulty to some of the otherwise "scorable" shorter PAR 4s.
I am looking forward to continuing to play this track and witness its revitalization.
Getting better
The greens are still recovering from being punched. Another week or so and they should be fully recovered. They were still very puttable. The fairways are getting better but also need to grow in a bit. The bunkers were prepared by the course but golfers did a poor (or nonexistent) job of raking. Not the course's fault. I'm sure I'll be back to play
Ole Hickory
Course in decent condition. Greens aerated so.no true putting. Still grass patches throughout the first cut in the fairways. Stay out of the traps as the sand traps are extremely difficult and in true sand trap conditions. Fairways in good condition and should be in excellent shape later in the season.
Improved but still too expensive.
The course is in a lot better shape than last year but it’s still pretty rough and they charge too much for a standard lower than many public courses in surrounding counties. It’s too bad.
Quality Staff and Course
It's been about two years since I last played here. I can confirm that the course has definitely improved overall. The staff is extremely helpful, enjoyable driving range, and the course is in its best shape. Great value and a great Saturday on the course!
Returning to form
This course was in my regular rotation 2019-2020, but I saw the negative reviews posted here and avoided. Came to play and was surprised/impressed, as I saw none of the issues other reviewers mentioned (poor tee boxes, dead patches of fairways, bunkers). They could have just been waiting out the winter months before getting the course in better conditions; recommend a round here.
Great value and track
For March, course was in spring shape, greens were great, staff friendly, played well under 4 hours and met two members who couldn’t have been nicer
John P
