Worst greens ever. Do not play here.
The greens are just about unplayable. Bald spots and divots everywhere. I haven't seen greens that bad in years if ever. Skip this course.
Great course layout but greens needs fixing
Great fairways and layout but greens are in absolutely bad conditions! I would not recommend to play here until greens are fixed. Otherwise, I love the course.
We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with the condition of our greens. Thank you for highlighting the positives of our fairways and layout, and we hope to have the opportunity to improve your experience in the future.
In bad shape
Played on 9/10/23 greens were about 50% mud. Fairways and tee boxes were okay. They may blame it on the rain but it looked like the greens were just dead and deteriorating. Same thing happened last year around this time.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the condition of the greens during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration moving forward.
Greens need a lot of work
Overall, the courses has a great layout. However, the greens were very poor and the course was definitely not worth the price they were asking with the greens and that type condition.
This was very disappointing.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, cebrown1985. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Olde Sycamore Golf Plantation, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Greens need work
The course was in great conditions except for the greens which were pretty beat up.
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, u919254976. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Olde Sycamore Golf Plantation!
Course is nice, greens are rough
Nice layout, good variety of holes. Pace slower than you'd want but not bad for a holiday mid-day (4 hours 40 minutes).
The greens are a big problem--they are bentgrass and have clearly had a tough summer. Whole sections are dead, the circular cup transplants are dying, and no one fixes ball marks. So your chances of making a putt beyond a few feet is effectively zero.
Olde Sycamore is going to move to a late-fall course in my rotation--I will not play it again in the summer.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our business. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your round. We will take your comments into consideration as we continue to improve our course. Thank you again and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.
Avoid Avoid Avoid
This course is insane to charge what they charge. The greens are in awful shape. This happens every year it feels like. Until they drop rates significantly or change to Bermuda I'm done getting ripped off here.
We apologize for the negative experience you had with our course. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we strive to improve. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Follow Up
Front desk had hard time processing credit b/c they didn't have access to email. Nice but defensive and not really willing to work with me, had to go back in to get credit that hasn't showed up.
Front side greens were destroyed and burnt up. For the price which I think is overkill, not worth the putting surface.
Grounds crew though limited didn't stop while we were hitting shots, just drove right up past the green while putting.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with our front desk. We understand that the lack of access to email caused issues with your credit and we will work on resolving this problem. Also, we apologize for the condition of the front side greens and any disturbance caused by our grounds crew. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention.
Terrible Greens
Greens like that should take off some of the price. Worst shape this course has ever been in
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about our course. We apologize if the greens were not up to your expectations, and we appreciate your input as it helps us improve. Thank you again for your review.
Course
Greens were in the worst condition I have ever seen. It looked like no one had even thought about maintaining them. There were cracked and dead grass everywhere. Definitely not worth the price. The fairways were fine.
We apologize for the poor condition of the greens during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will take your comments into consideration to improve the maintenance of our greens. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Terrible greens and overall conditions
They have just about lost all their greens. For $90 they are out of their minds. Do not go here for the next 1-2 years.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize if you feel that our pricing is too high and if you believe our greens have declined in quality. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we continue to improve our services.
Greens are in rough shape
The course is great, it offers a challenge for players of all skill levels and abilities. The layout is beautiful, forcing a variety of different shots to score well. However, the greens are in terrible shape for such an expensive course. The round felt like a joke because of the conditions of the greens. Dead spots everywhere, no consistency in roll or speed, with some pins protected by huge dead zones around the flag. Hit one of the dead zones and there’s no way to predict how the ball will respond. Some will bounce like you’re hitting cart path, others shooting sideways, and the rest plugging.
Thank you for taking the time to review our course. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you found the course layout challenging and enjoyable for players of all skill levels. We apologize for the condition of the greens during your round, and we will work on improving their consistency and overall quality.
Overpriced
This course is not worth the money. Several greens have large dead spots on them and they’re filled with divots. At $35-40 for 18 it would be worth it. At the price it is, never again
We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the condition of the greens. We strive to provide a great experience for all our customers, and we will make sure to address the issues you have mentioned. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
greens are in dire need of some attention
The greens are in very bad shape. Is this due to the very hot weather the area has seen in the last 2 months or is it just a lack of attention?
On such a hot and humid day such as yesterday it should be mandatory that the water jugs are checked every 2 hours or so. This is the second time I've played in extremely hot weather here and both times the water jugs at the T boxes were empty.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the condition of the greens and the empty water jugs. We understand the frustration and will look into this matter to ensure a better experience for our customers in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Fairways were in good shape. Some of the greens need a lot of help.
We appreciate your feedback on the condition of our fairways and acknowledge your observation about the greens needing improvement. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Can’t go wrong
This place is probably the best bang for your buck in the Charlotte area. Clubhouse is super nice and the staff is usually very helpful and nice. Fairways and tee boxes are pretty decent and the course is just fun to play. Only note is that greens and bunkers are kinda janky but it’s not too big a deal at least for me. Green condition really doesn’t affect your putting when you three putt every hole anyways.

Greens
Played here a lot but the worst greens I have ever seen. They did let us know beforehand they were aerated, but still looked really, really bad.

Disappointing greens
Haven’t played this course in awhile. Was very disappointed to find that the greens were in terrible condition. Splotchy, bumpy and disappointing.
