Poor greens

Green conditions were poor. Also, for large sand traps, more than one rake would speed up play.

Pile of crap conditions in a cool layout for way too much money

See the title, they should be embarrassed to not charge half of what they do until they get their greens under control

Really Disappointed

I love this course. However, something has happened to the greens which were atrocious. They are so bad there should be a warning before you book your round.

It also felt like a slow play day. We did finish in under 4.5 hours. However, we literally were waiting for almost every shot.

Overall good

The greens were a bit of a mess, not sure if they had just aerated or what the issue was, but overall not in the best shape. Everything up to the greens was very good, however.

Stop playing this course

Like everyone else has said, the greens are in absolutely embarrassing shape. I've played here 4 times over the last 2 years and it has only gotten worse. To think they charge $72 on weekends LMFAO

Awful - don’t waste your money

Olde Sycamore is by far the worst golf course I’ve ever played in my 50 years of playing golf.

Many of the greens have more areas of dried cracked mud than grass. I played there 3 months ago and it is hard to believe how bad it was. I understand that bent greens are difficult to maintain in the heat but there is absolutely no excuse for these terrible conditions.

On top of these terrible greens charging $70 plus the surly employees absolutely guarantees I will never be back.

15 of the 18 greens were absolutely horrible. They had sand traps and mud on at least half of the greens.

Needs Work

I had higher hopes for this course. I had never played it before so wanted to try something new. Overall, I'd give this course a C-. Driving range was nice, putting green had some dead spots as did basically all greens on this course.

Fairways and bunkers were in nice shape but tee boxes needed some love.

Had it not been for the condition of the greens, I would've given this course higher score. Also, the carts were nice but no USB connection which other courses of similar price point have. Maybe I'm spoiled but I want to keep my phone charged while I stream Sirius XM music.

Until I hear that the greens are back in shape, I'll probably pass on this course going forward.

All about the Greens.

Although we were told and a sign posted about the conditions of the greens it was sold as there were some greens with burnt spots on them. This was an understatement. Some greens we had to put thru bunkers basically.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The rest of the course is in great shape. We were told they will be doing all the greens in the coming weeks.

Overall great value, fairways were great, greens not so much

It's been a while since I've played Olde Sycamore but it didn't disappoint. The fairways were in great shape, but the greens have had a tough summer. Looked like they got burned some with the heat and humidity stretch we had in late July through early September. Even so, we thoroughly enjoyed our round. I'd recommend it to anyone.
