About this course

Old Hickory Golf Club sits in Woodbridge, Virginia, approximately thirty miles south of Washington, D.C., in the suburban corridor of Prince William County. Designed by Tim Freeland and opened in the mid-1990s, the course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Virginia Piedmont, with mature hardwood stands and natural elevation changes that provide both strategic interest and visual definition to the routing. The layout incorporates wetlands and stream corridors that come into play on several holes, requiring thoughtful course management. Freeland's design emphasizes playability across skill levels while maintaining strategic depth through well-positioned bunkering and green complexes that reward precision. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours, with several holes playing uphill or downhill and doglegs that follow the land's movement. Water hazards appear intermittently, most notably on approach shots where they guard green entrances and create risk-reward decisions for aggressive play. As a daily-fee facility serving the northern Virginia golf market, Old Hickory provides accessible public golf in a region with significant population density and demand. The course benefits from its proximity to both the D.C. metropolitan area and the military installations around Quantico, drawing a diverse membership and visitor base. The property reflects the standard of public golf development that emerged in Virginia during the 1990s, balancing environmental sensitivity with the need to create engaging golf on suburban terrain.

Getting there

Old Hickory Golf Club lies just south of the nation's capital, most easily accessed via Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) or Washington Dulles International (IAD), both within a half-hour to forty-five minutes depending on traffic and route. The drive from either hub follows the familiar arteries of Northern Virginia - Interstate 95 or the Prince William Parkway - before peeling away into the wooded residential enclaves of Woodbridge, where the suburban hum gradually softens into quiet, tree-lined streets. The final turn reveals the club tucked discreetly among the rolling hardwood forest, its name a nod to both the native hickories that frame the property and the Old Dominion heritage that runs deep in this corner of Virginia.
