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.

Bad course worse staff

Courses play slow. It happens. Having a course back up 8 holes with 3 groups per hole is intentional neglect. Played 3 holes in 1 hour 5 minutes as 2 singles. This course does not care about the quality or the sustainability of the course. Mismanaged so badly no bunker was playable. Cart path only for 35 minutes of rain the day before.

The course is coming back. Bunkers still have some meteorites in them. I’ll be back.

Good Weather, Good Conditions, Great Deal/price, EXCEPT...

There was a shotgun tourney started 30 mins before my tee time...unusual to me. Two groups ahead of me, foursome playing best ball and terribly slow. Group ahead of me, two guys two girls, worse...course is not for lessons nor loud music. It took 50 mins for the group behind me, a fivesome to catch up. Didnt know courses allowed that anywhere. Greens in pretty good shape but patrons don't repair their ball marks (nor rake the bunkers). Leaf-blowers needed on some fairways. No starter, no marshal...took over 4 1/2 hrs for the round.

Great Layout

I was mildly impressed with the maintenance and overall condition of Old Hickory. The greens were in very good shape, fairways and tee boxes much improved from just 3-4 weeks ago. The layout is fantastic. Lots of doglegs and elevation changes. As always, the pro shop staff were very helpful and respectful. I look forward to playing Old Hickory more.

Another Nice Day at Old Hickory

I really like this course. Absolutely professional staff as is usual with the Raspberry brand. Drink cart was out there and appreciated. Greens have improved quite a bit since I played it 2 years ago with consistent, decent speed for a public course. Tees were beaten up a bit as was the fairways. Bunkers were of varying quality. It would be hard to play the ball down here. Still, it's a great layout and value.
