Beautiful Course
Very nice. Plenty challenging. Some airiation going on but didnt affect play. Great value thru goffnow
Awesome Course and staff
Well run golf course. Fun and challenging. Staff is top notch! I play here all the time and each visit is enjoyable
Not what I had hoped for
I won't complain because we got a golf now "hot deal" but that's the only reason I am not complaining. However, I am not going back.
To Whom This May Concern,
Thank you for playing at Sycamore Hills. However, I am having trouble understanding your review. You rated your experience as good/fair yet only gave a 2 star rating. Was there some issue or problem we should be aware of?
Much improved conditions
Course was in much better shape than in the past. Pace of play was great except for the last couple holes. Haven't played here in over 10 years but I'll be back.
Soggy April
When I played it had not rained in the area for 5 days before hand and was sunny for those 5 days. The course was still pretty wet from being along the river. Could tell the grounds crew was working pretty hard to get the course ready but still was just not there yet.
High end price; mid range course
Course was decently maintained but the greens keepers were very very rude. Bathrooms were not open on the course, with no apology from the course staff just a "no I don't have the key". For $40 I would expect the starter to be on time, staff to be friendly and amenities to be available. Also due to the flood plain of the course portions of some holes were closed and 1 par-5 was shortened to a par-3 to compensate for the course.
Nice course but not for $40 at 7am
Love this course
It's much better than other courses in the area. Fairly challenging, friendly staff.
Overall excellent.
Good
Everywhere else was booked in the AM. TeeD off right when the sun up, no one in front or behind,course was in great shape,they were even going around blowing leaves off greens,fairways,tee boxes. Overall great experience.
Good Day
The course was in good shape, The greens were in great shape. A little over booked. So we jumped around until we played all 18 holes. One bad thing about the course is the cart path is to close to the fairway. If you miss the fairway by 2 feet you are hitting a cart path and into the woods you go.
Sycamore Hils GC
I play on the Dakota high school golf and our home course is sycamore. They treat us very well and even though michigan winters have torn up some greens on the south, west and north courses are still in excellent shape. Pace of play is usually not bad except for wknd mornings. But you will get that at any course!
Hello, Birdiebuddy05. Thank you for the review. While many courses had issues with their greens last year, including ours, our greens and the entire course have been in good shape since the beginning of the season. We have had many compliments on the condition of the course this year. We hope to see you out here again.
A beautiful Challenge
Some of the fairways and hole locations were difficult to pick up. Great overall impression from our foursome. Will play again on one of the courses if the price is right.
horrible course
They over book at this course we had to wait on every tee box. Took 7 hours to golf 18 holes because of the waiting. I would never go back there again. I would not recommended this course to sny one!!!
Sir, we do not overbook out tee-sheet. We checked the Starter records from that Friday and each group played 18 holes in 4-5 hours. Considering it was a Friday before a holiday, which are busier days, that is pretty normal. Also, many golfers came in after their round to compliment the course conditions.
If you like, you are welcome to stop in our Pro Shop and we can show you how we make up our tee-sheets so you can see how we keep everything organized.
The tale of two nines
The course was in surprisingly good shape considering all the rain we have had. The greens were slow, to be expected. I had a great pace going on the front nine. The back nine was a different story, it slowed to a crawl.
Sycamore Hills
I played on a Saturday afternoon and finished my 18 holes within 4 hours. The greens were rolling nice and true and the rest of the course was in good shape. It was a good experience from beginning to end.
Sycamore
Good course. With three 9's it doesn't get too slow and you can play something different each time.
Sycamore Hills
I have played this course a few times over the years. It is typically in really nice shape. It is not overly long but still offers challenges with lakes and trees. I will continue playing it.
Fun Course
This is a really fun course to play in the area. It is not overly long, but it has plenty of trees and water on the West and South courses, which keeps it interesting. No blind shots but still has doglegs throughout the course. Greens are in MUCH BETTER shape than last year. Will be playing it much more this year.
Good conditions this year
After almost losing their greens last year, SH has made an amazing come back. Just played and the course is in good condition for this time of year. They know how to treat people here. A beautiful course with tree lined fairways and ponds, make this a shotmakers delight.
Go elsewhere for the money you will spend here
$50 for a Saturday/Sunday round? Yeah, I think not. This is the most overpriced course in Metro-Detroit, and any excuse the staff gives you is garbage. Its too bad because at $30-$35/round, this course would be excellent. Fairways and greens are often times in poor shape, and the staff is not friendly. Growing up, I used to play this course weekly while playing golf in HS. Now that I have grown up and realized the value it DOES NOT have, I am refusing to go back. If the Hickory Hollow next door wasn't such a dump, I think Sycamore lowering their prices would be easier. For now, stay away.
dpadovini,
Your comments are surprising. We have actually received many compliments on the course conditions this year from satisfied customers. That is evident in the reviews you see from this year on GolfNow/GolfAdvisor and from driving by our parking lot.
As far as our pricing, we are right in line with comparable courses in the area. Some are more expensive, some are less expensive. We feel we are appropriately priced.
Also, our afternoon twilight is $33 on weekends and we often post afternoon specials on GolfNow in the price range you suggested, sometimes even cheaper.
We hope you come back out and have an enjoyable experience like when you were frequently playing here.
I love Sycamore Hills
What a great course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shanty Creek Stay & Play Package
Destination Kohler - Champions' Trail Golf Package
I will never play this course again, the staff is more interested in loading up teetimes instead of putting in time for maintenance for the greens which was in terrible shape. Two golfers took 6 1/2 hours to play 18 holes behind an outing was flat out ridiculous. We talk to a staff member in the pro shop and they were very arrogant and did not have any considerations of my time and my partners time and did not show any remorse
