Good round

Staff was pleasant. Many greens had dried out/fungus spots for a collared shirt required course.

Do not play

I don’t know what’s going on happened with this course but I played in early May. The greens and tees boxes barely have grass on them. Yes the greens. I’ve never seen such terrible greens. It’s crazy that their charging the amour their charging and not giving anyone a heads up.

Worst Value for the Money

Not worth $80, ownership shows up and pushes everyone around the course for his enjoyment and conditions are bad. Fun layout, decent bar and kitchen. Rarely see a booze cart.

Disappointed

I’m sure they will again be up to their usual standards once they have their greens redone. I would have expected a better rate considering the current conditions. I love the layout but even when the conditions were good they are expensive to play.

Great Public Course

We were traveling to Charlotte for the PGA and I was satisfied with having found Olde Sycamore to play a round at. Would recommend.

Poor greens

Tee boxes were a little beat up and a bunch were slanted/on an angle so teeing off with ball above your feet. Greens were not good. Very bumpy and bald in spots so putting was difficult. Know they had an issue last year with the greens so maybe it’s better but still a ways to go. Wouldn’t pay the $80 to play here again until that’s fixed. Much better options for same price point.

Fun and well maintained course, be prepared for a challenge!

The course was in great shape, (4-23-25) fun & challenging layout. Lots of bunkers and creeks & various hazards to keep in mind when your playing. A little pricey but definitely fun. Definitely check this course out if your in the area!

Course was slow to start since they pack tee times in every 9 minutes. Would not let you drive cart on the course even though it was dry. Because it was so slow they did allow it and it sped up the round. Looks like they are doing a lot of work and it will be nice when completed. The greens are terrible for a course of this caliber. They are replacing them this summer but they put effort into the the greens at this moment.

Not a good value.

$80 for good fairways, average tee boxes and terrible greens isn’t worth it. They are reworking the tee boxes and greens this summer, but hopefully they will not increase round prices.

I would not waste your money in the next few months.

I played the course and the layout was beautiful. But the greens were awful. I paid $53 for 18 at 4:21 and it was not worth it in my opinion. I wouldn’t pay more than $25 for that value

Better than the rumors

I had been told to stay away from Olde Sycamore because “their greens are trash.” I went into it with an open mind and discovered that although there was evidence of some damage, it was NOT like “putting on the moon” as some had said. I think the course has gotten a prolonged bad rap when the real problem lasted only weeks, not months. The starter told me that ALL the greens are being replaced, so it is clear Olde Syc is committed to upping their game.

I was very happy with the round and the conditions. The staff could not have been more friendly. I’m headed back for sure.
