First Time Playing

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.

Great staff and course improvements

Awesome people here. I played last year and there was a good bit of the course under construction but it’s now in phenomenal condition. Greens play really well. Pretty wide open course so friendly for beginners also. Would recommend.

One of my favorites in CLT

If you are looking for a challenging but fun course in East CLT area, I would definitely recommend Olde Sycamore. I've been playing weekly there since they reopened after renovations to the course this summer and love the pace of play and layout.

The staff are great peole who genuinely care about your experience and do everything they can to make sure you have a great time. I try to get by there at least once per week to play twilight golf during the week and always have a great time and enjoy a fast pace of play.

Highly recommend!

Very disappointed

Very disappointed in the condition of the course. Course was closed for several weeks to replace the greens. The fairways were in good shape but the tee boxes and sand traps were worse than they were before the course shut down. Had to wait at every hole after the 5th. Even paired with a group in front of us on the back 9 and we still were waiting at every hole. Tee times need to be spread out more and force people to skip holes if they are holding everyone up. Some of the brand new greens already had issues. More than one had the same patchiness from disease like the previous greens. Wouldn't pay more than $50 for this course in its condition. And that is one the high end. BB lost members because he cared more about the retail golfer more than the members. And that is fine as long as you make the course worth it.

I am sorry to hear that your experience was not what you were expecting. Our tee-time interval is 9 minutes and that ensures a proper starting gap for the set pace of play at OSGC. I apologize if there was a wait on the course and we will work with our staff to ensure everything is moving smoothly for the enjoyment of all our golfers. We are currently in the process of adding sand and working on the bunkers. The new greens are still in their infancy stage so some may have patchiness as they continue to mature and fill-in. We hope to have you back out here and that your next experience is a great one!

New Greens are nice but they’re really firm.

New greens are nice. Greens are really firm and fast. The ball doesn’t check on chip shots the ball tries the check but top spins takes over and the ball runs. Not a lot of break in putts, if you play a half cup out it will break in the hole or roll by the edge depending on pace.

The fairways and tee boxes are in great shape as normal. I can’t wait until next year for the greens to soften and become more reactive and to see if they can tolerate the weather unlike the previous greens.

Having new greens give me the justification to play this course again. Previous greens were burnt and painted over. Not acceptable for $80 a round.

Reliable Gem in every way

Although I've been out of state much past few years, I just realized how much I love coming back to Olde Sycamore. It is comfortable, quaint, beautiful and perfectly challenging but not on every hole. Strikes the right balance between enjoyable and extremely challenging. Well manicured and extremely well managed and run professionallly. I hope to be back soon and often once it reopens!
