Old Hickory Country Club

About Old Hickory Country Club

Old Hickory Country Club stands as a remarkable testament to American industrial history and golf course architecture. Founded in 1926 by the E.I. DuPont Nemours & Company, this private club was originally created as a recreational facility for employees of the DuPont powder plant in the company town of Old Hickory, Tennessee.

Designed by George Livingstone, the Belle Meade golf professional, the course was built on historic land previously owned by the French Huguenot Bondurant family. The original course started with just 6 holes and was expanded to its current 18-hole championship layout in summer 1941, showcasing the evolution of golf course design through the decades.

The course plays 6,617 yards from the championship tees with a par of 71, featuring some of the finest Mini-Verde Bermuda greens in the Nashville area. Known for their speed, smoothness, and consistency, these greens provide an excellent test for golfers of all skill levels. The layout includes multiple tee options, including challenging "John Daly tees" for advanced players.

Today, Old Hickory Country Club maintains its reputation as a championship-caliber facility, having served as a Web.com Tour qualifying course and regularly hosting state championships and USGA qualifiers. The club represents one of the few remaining golf courses originally built by a major American corporation for its employees, making it a unique piece of both golf and industrial history.
