Back on the map

I wrote this plays off years ago due to bad conditions, mostly with the greens. The price never matched the experience, not even close.

Credit to the team, because this place is in great shape now that they replaced the greens. Because they’re new, they are a bit bouncy but they rolled so nicely. Rest of the course was in really good shape as well.

Looking forward to a year from now once the greens have settled in. Going to be an elite track.

Finally worth the price!

Old Sycamore Great Course

The course is in very good condition. The tee boxes were good, fairways are challenging with a layout that has you using working a variety of clubs. Most of all, the greens are fast and have a lot of undulation. Be prepared to make reads with lots of movement.

The course is fun and challenging. If you are looking for good bang for the buck, I highly recommend playing this course.

Getting there

A few years ago, I vowed to not play Olde Sycamore until the greens were replaced or improved. When I read a review on GN I booked a tee time for a foursome.

And for sure, the greens were much better. It's mid-March so these greens are still dormant (although some courses are greening up). They are kinda rough and some don't hold a well-struck shot, but I'm expecting they will improve soon. We'll see.

The course itself is a nice layout with interesting holes and is well maintained. The clubhouse and pro shop are great. The on-course bathrooms are clean. The refreshment cart comes around frequently and is well-stocked.

First off, welcome back! Thank you for your review as we love to hear your feedback. The greens are continuing to improve every day. With all new greens, they will be on the firm side for about a year before they begin to soften and be a little more receptive to approach shots. We hope you come back to play soon.

1st time @ Olde Sycamore

Played on Saturday, it had rained Thursday and then again on Friday morning. Course was extremely wet, it was cart path only and tee times were pretty close together. They didn’t have enough carts, so I didn’t get my cart until 1:24 for a 1:21 tee times. Then had to rush to the first tee and have the starter tell me let’s go, it’s past your tee time.

I heard their greens have all recently been redone, they were really in great shape, fast and rolled true..

I will definitely come back and play again though, I think the pace of play would have been much better if tit wouldn’t have been cart path only

Thank you for your feedback and we will look at the areas of improvement you mentioned. We have a our tee-times running every 9 minutes to ensure a smooth pace of play. However, the wet conditions and Cart Path Only can absolutely slow down the pace of play. We hope to see you back soon!

Headed in the right direction

OS is headed in the right direction. I played last year and paid way too much for way too little. They have redone the greens and they are in very good shape. Seems like they have removed some trees to help the fairways and greens get needed sunlight. The tee boxes were a little rough but not too bad. The pace of play slowed dramatically on the back nine. There were some scrambles ahead that were playing as two 8-some and there wasn’t a marshal to be had. We almost didn’t get in before dark from a 1:00 tee time.

Thank you for your review and your feedback! We are happy to hear you had an overall good experience and we will address the pace of play issue brought forth by you. It appears that, based on your 1:12pm start time and our stated pace of play of 4 hours and 30 minutes, you should have finished right at about 5:42pm, which would coincide with when sunset would be. Nonetheless, if you did witness multiple large groups and no ranger activity, that is an issue and we will address it. We hope to see you again soon as we will be even better than before!

Stayed Away but returned after new greens!

I’ve Played Olde Sycamore quite a few times in my days. I always loved it! But in the last couple of years the reviews weren’t that great as green conditions worsened. Well after the new greens were installed this course was great! Glad they did some work to repair the course. Will be back to play another round.
