Thinking About Living in Old Hickory Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Old Hickory Country Club and the surrounding Nashville Proper & Old-Guard Clubs golf market.
Old Hickory Country Club was built in 1926 in the historic riverside community of Old Hickory, a planned village originally developed around a DuPont gunpowder/rayon plant on the Cumberland River, now part of Nashville/Davidson County near Old Hickory Lake. The club is a private, tree-lined 18-hole course that has hosted state championships and USGA qualifiers over its nearly century-long history, and operates today with Private (full golf), Social, and Summer membership categories -- its clubhouse grill is even named '1926 Bar and Grill' after the club's founding year.
The club sits in the same village as, but is entirely distinct from, the well-known public Hermitage Golf Course -- a genuinely important disambiguation for buyers, since 'Old Hickory golf' searches surface both. Old Hickory Country Club is the private option; Hermitage Golf Course is confirmed public/daily-fee and is excluded from this research (see exclusions).
Golf & Course
The course plays to a par of 71 across roughly 6,600 yards (sources vary slightly on exact yardage, between 6,566 and 6,617 yards). This research could not confirm the original 1926 course architect with confidence -- aggregator data attributes the design to 'Jerry Lemons and Jeffery D. Blume,' but both are contemporary-era golf architects whose active careers postdate 1926 by decades, making it far more likely this attribution reflects a later renovation rather than the club's original designer. The original architect is left unconfirmed rather than guessed.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Old Hickory Country Club offers Private (full golf), Social, and Summer membership tiers per its own membership page. No public fee schedule was found on the club's own site; a third-party estimator's figures are treated here as low-confidence (see buyer_notes).
Living in Old Hickory Country Club
Old Hickory is a historic village neighborhood along the Cumberland River/Old Hickory Lake, with a mix of vintage bungalows and newer construction; nearby neighborhoods (Lakewood, Old Hickory Village, Hermitage, Neely's Bend, Heron Walk) reference the club as a local amenity, but no single residential development is bundled to club membership.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Old Hickory Lake itself, immediately adjacent to the village, is a significant additional lifestyle draw -- boating, fishing, and waterfront dining are commonly cited alongside the country club as reasons buyers are drawn to the area.
Location & Surrounding Area
Old Hickory Country Club is located at 1904 Hadley Avenue, Old Hickory, TN 37138, within Davidson County/Nashville's northeastern suburbs.
Costs & Fees
Figures below are labeled Current only when the source itself frames them as presently accurate. Everything else is labeled Historical — a source checked today does not make an old fee a current one.
Initiation (range low)

Initiation (range high)
Historical$25,000
High end of the same aggregator-reported range; same low-confidence caveat as initiation_fee_min.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm the original 1926 course architect directly with the club -- the 'Jerry Lemons/Jeffery D. Blume' attribution found in aggregator data most plausibly reflects a later renovation, not the founding design.
- Confirm current initiation fee, dues, and membership tier pricing directly with the club -- the aggregator-reported figures used here are low-confidence and appear formulaic.
- Confirm whether the club has any residential-development or HOA relationship with a specific nearby neighborhood; none was found in this research.
Notable
- Built in 1926; the clubhouse grill is named '1926 Bar and Grill' after the club's founding year.
- Genuinely distinct from the neighboring public Hermitage Golf Course, also in Old Hickory, TN -- the two are sometimes confused in casual search results.
- Has hosted state championships and USGA qualifying events over its history, including a 2005 women's championship.
