Old Hickory Country Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Always a Major Challenge
Outstanding Top Tier course with fantastic conditions and exceptional layout.
Challenging course.
From front to back sloping greens. Narrow lanes for you tee shots and doglegs on the shorter par 4s that force you to take chances or layup. It's a fun course to play. Will definitely go back!
Map it link on email is wrong
The map it link on the email took us to a spot 8 miles east of the course
Not Worth 2hour drive to play if not feel hospitality at check in
Can't feel welcome if delay to give cart just because of too early to tee time. I have to Cary bag everywhere from range to chipping to putting...
Great course
So many great holes. Green were fast and rolled fast. GPS on the cart was very helpfull. Some tight driving holes left the driver in the bag on half the holes. Can't wait to play it again.
Course was in great shape and staff were great also
Great place
Beautiful and challenging. Just need someone to monitor the pace of play.
Bumpy Round
Riders beware of bumpy conditions in the rough, fairways, and cart paths.
Great Value
Challenging course, great fairways and greens, nice carts with GPS
Great time
Course was in great condition and the staff very friendly. First time in the area and the golf was fantastic
Really Good Course & Value
Course has a very good layout on a great piece of land. The course conditions are consistently very good. The greens are true and fast. We played early in the day so the pace of play was very good. Staff is always professional and nice. Like many older courses, the course could have more tee boxes to make it more playable for shorter hitters. A number of holes could have trees removed and play a better. Not the large trees, but the trees planted by members over the years... All in all, this place is gem and should be played when in the area.
Beautiful layout
Greens and course in great shape, difficult and long but enjoyable.
