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.

Saturday March 29

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.

Way to high priced

The course is absolutely destroyed. The greens are more bumpy than hitting on asphalt. I was hoping it got better but haven’t done anything since last spring. You can still see the plastic grid line material in the greens. And they also are cutting down a bunch of trees so if you go off the course a little good luck finding the ball.

Worst conditioned course in CLT area

My wife and I lived in Olde Sycamore neighborhood for almost 20 years, and belonged as members. OS always had some of the best conditions in the area, but currently it is practically unplayable. I have never played on greens as bad as they are right now. They are still charging prices as if nothing condition wise has changed. The greens need to be totally redone immediately to try and get ready for upcoming season.

Getting better

Played this course for the 1st time since October and the greens are MUCH better. My putting wasn't but can't blame that on the condition of the greens. Enjoyed the course.

Greens in bad shape

Most of the greens are in bad shape. Bumpy and tons of divots. Spend your money elsewhere in Charlotte for better course conditions

Needs to change price

The course management really needs to reconsider pricing. Its not even worth 45 dollars a round. They're charging 80 it outrages. You're better off playing emerald, divide, or Charlotte national. I won't be playing this course & you shouldn't book it. Staff is awesome.

I have always enjoyed this course in the past. But the last few times I’ve played here the greens have Ben in bad shape and the tee boxes. The fairways average but you can always roll it in to a good spot to hit from. I’ll still come back but hopefully the greens will be in better shape
