Solid layout with some great approach shots. The fairways are firm but lush, and the greens are firm and fast. I was in love with the greens. Great complexes and you had to be very aware of where you were landing your approach if you wanted to get near the pin. Can’t say enough about the greens.

The course was in great shape - the best I’ve seen it in years. While other courses in the area are struggling, Old Hickory stands out. The fairways are overall great, and the greens were really nice for this time of year. Lush and quick. Some bunkers are not great but we’ve had a lot of rain. For $60 on a Saturday morning, Ive already booked a tee time for next weekend. And our threesome played in under 4 hours and never had to wait. A Perfect Fall round.

Great layout, never great conditions. Considering what they charge on the weekend, the conditions are crap. Awful greens that will never recover from aeration, sand traps are a joke, tee boxes patchy, fairways shaggy. I have no idea where the money goes. And the ranger thinks a 5 hr round on a Saturday is the standard. It doesn't matter if I'm a twosome, a 5hr+ round is a 5hr+ round. Don't tell me I should have played at 6am if I wanted a good speed of round. This course is a 5 of 10 when it should be a 9.

I play this course all the time and love the layout. It is by far the best value in the area. However, the green are currently un-puttable. They were aerated more than a month ago, but they have made no effort on them. Wind blew all of the sand off the greens right after they were punched and they did nothing about it. While other courses in the area have recovered from being punched, these greens are getting worse by the week. So much so I cancelled my tee time for next Saturday and will head elsewhere. I really hope they do something about it - it's my favorite course to play.

This course needs to be shut down for a year, re-seeded, redesigned...twice. PB Dye needs to wipe his name from this. I walked around for 10 minutes just looking for somebody I could pay to play. I should have just taken a cart and gone; I promise you nobody would have noticed. If this course keeps going the way it is, I will come back in 10 years and there will be holes where you pound your tee into dirt with a hammer and then have to hit your tee shot over a couple of houses to get in the tumbleweed lined fairway. You guys get my point yet?

I used to play this course all the time back around 2004-5. One of my absolute favorites. Fantastic layout, gray conditions. I played it 2 years ago in June and could not believe the conditions. The course looked as if it was Mid January during the harshest winter of all time. It was the only time I have ever wanted to tell the Pro Shop how I felt. I wanted to give it another shot in January so I called the Pro Shop and asked if the course was 'green', because most courses were because of the mellow winter. I arrived and the only 'green' part of the course was some of the fairway rough and the greens. The fairways were as brown as it gets. After the round I was so disappointed that I was lied to by an employee just to get my money that I nicely mentioned something after the round. They took my email down and said they would send me a voucher to come back out and give it another shot. After reading recent reviews I want to do that, give it another shot. However, I never received an email regarding my voucher. Do I give it a shot? I don't know. But man I used to love this course...I have probably played it 15 times despite an hour drive to get there. Hmm....
