Old Hickory Country Club

Old Hickory Country Club sits in the lakeside community of Old Hickory, Tennessee, roughly fifteen miles northeast of downtown Nashville. The club was established in the mid-twentieth century and occupies rolling terrain characteristic of Middle Tennessee, with mature hardwoods and elevation changes that provide natural definition to the routing. The course plays alongside and near Old Hickory Lake, a reservoir on the Cumberland River created in the 1950s by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, though water comes into play selectively rather than dominating the layout. The design reflects traditional parkland principles common to courses built in the region during its era, with tree-lined fairways, moderately sized greens, and strategic bunkering that rewards accurate approach play. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours, offering a mix of uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies. Several holes feature views across the lake or incorporate the water as a hazard, particularly on the back nine where the course moves closer to the shoreline. Old Hickory Country Club serves as a private membership facility and has been a fixture in the Nashville-area golf community for decades. The club hosts member tournaments and local amateur events, maintaining a reputation as a solid test of golf within the region. The clubhouse and grounds reflect the club's longstanding presence in the community, and the course remains a well-regarded layout among Middle Tennessee golfers familiar with its challenges and character.
