West/South at Sycamore Hills Golf Club

This is the second time I have played here and I am fairly new to golf. This course offers a lot of great challenging greens and is secluded amongst many trees. I highly recommend as the staff is wonderful and the course is extremely well maintained. Warning though, both times playing we ended up stuck behind a few players which slowed the pace of play a bit.

This course is always jam-packed and the pace of play is extremely slow. I will not play this course again.

Traps not raked at all. I’ve played this course for over 20 years. This is the WORST SHAPE I’ve ever seen this course! I paid $59 and invited a friend who had never played. I was embarrassed.

Disappointed,

We couldn't finish. Fairways missing grass. Hitting from bare clay, very compacted soil in the fairway. Saw carts doing laps around greens parking on fringe. Very backed up, 3 groups per hole. Left at the 12th hole (4 hours) and won't be returning.

The greens were bumpy and none of the sand traps were raked. I was very disappointed with the conditions overall it was like they are just doing the bare minimum to keep the course open

For early spring the course was in decent shape, only problem like most courses in the area they overbooked tee times. The first 9 took over 3 hours to play. That’s ridiculous. pace was a bit better on the second 9 but still almost 6 hours to play 18 was a bit much.

It was just so frustrating, leaves at the tee box, leaves in the fairway and of course leaves on the green. Saw bunch of folks with portable blowers, well, we found the hard way why. Lost half a dozen balls. That’s fall golf in Michigan. It could have been better. A lot of other courses had done a better job. Take it for what’s it worth.

Big deal this time of year is dealing with the leaves. Course was in excellent shape and pace of play was great.

Lots of parking available. They have a small driving range as well. The staff was great. They were attentive and helpful. Starter was engaged and aware of where he was sending groups. Probably the nicest starter I’ve engaged with while out golfing. They’re usually mad and upset but this guy was great. The course is a little on the short side but any group will still have fun here. Fairways and greens were taken care of. Only came across one hole where there was a ton of little branches and leaves all over the green. Had to clean up the line before putting. It was probably due to the windstorm the night prior though. 40 dollars seems kind of high but when you compare it to other local courses it’s comparable. There was a cart girl driving around even in early November so that’s a plus. Overall experience was really good. I would definitely play this course again.

It was a beautiful day.

The only problem was pace of play. 2:24 tee time, but couldn't go off until 2:55. Backed up at nearly every hole.

The foursome two groups ahead of me each hit 2 or three balls off the first tee. Yikes.
