Horrible condition

Cannot believe the current current conditions of this once beautiful course. Bare fairways, horrid tee boxes, marginal greens. Do not waste your time or money playing here.

Loved Olde Sycamore

Great experience at Olde Sycamore. Pro shop staff went above and beyond to welcome me for my first round ever at their course. Course was in very good shape for February. Really enjoyed the layout too. I was a single but got paired with a couple of really nice guys. Highly recommend Olde Sycamore.

Overpriced and rude staff

The greens were in terrible shape, the fairways even worse for $70 in February. The biggest disappointment was the maintenance crew blowing the fairways and following us for half of round. Most people would stop blowing while you teed off and not blow pine needles in your face on the tee box. The most rude experience of my golfing career.

Play again,Sam

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Course conditions dictated cart path only and resulted in slow play. The ranger kept everyone moving along. The greens were fast and rolled true, and I only used my driver on five holes. Plan to play again on another trip south..

Go with someone that has played the course before

The course design is quite nice and challenging! Clubhouse, snack bar, beer selections - all superior. Played on a Saturday and play was very slow due to cart path only (poor course drainage). Older gentlemen leap frogged us at the turn. Pricey given current course condition - greens had some significant patches and green speed varied significantly. Cart guy was super nice, but golf shop staff was unhelpful. Mentioned it was our first time, and the guy basically snubbed us. Could use a nicer experience for first timers or improve signage, things offered by the course, etc. Absolutely no pictures, hole layouts on the cards or markings to show hole design. I will play the course again in the spring/summer to reevaluate.

Great Experience!

First time playing Olde Sycamore. For reference, I've played a lot of the public and semi private options in the Charlotte area.

First off, the staff is exceptionally friendly. When I checked in, the gentleman behind the counter asked if I was a Veteran, which was nice and not expected so I appreciate that. The starter by the range was extremely detail oriented and had every group gathered and ready to go when it was their turn.

The course has great, great bones. I really like the layout. There is a good mix of holes with some elevation changes and the green complexes are well designed. Bunkers were in fantastic shape. Greens rolled good given it was January.

I was going to play here in the early fall, but had heard that they lost some greens and didn't think the rate was comparable to some other options.

It was evident that there was some patchwork and plugs on some of the holes, but it never really impacted my putts or playability to be honest. I'd like to see them convert to some sort of ultra-dwarf bermuda and lose the bent grass greens given the climate, but thats another discussion. Costly for sure, but worth the investment in the long run.

I will definitely be back, thanks for a great day!

Wade

Overall a good value, really slow on the holiday afternoon. Greens are showing some signs of distress but may be the winter.

Course layout good, greens terrible

Had to play this course because it was the only one I could find last minute for 4. Charlotte once again comes through with its lack of public golf options.

The course layout is fun and challenging. The greens are some of the worst in Charlotte. Very patchy and diseased. Have a hard time paying $75 to play here because there are so many other courses in better condition for a similar or lower price (Eagle Chase, Springfield, Monroe CC). They should shut the course down and re do the greens to get them back into shape.

Nice Course, good value.

The course is well maintained and has a good layout. It rained pretty hard the day before but the course seemed to drain well, as it was only about as wet as you would expect it to be. Good bit of variety in layouts, though there were no layouts shown on the scorecard or anything we could get our hands on. Clubhouse is nice and staff are friendly. There was a bit of a mixup with our food order called in at the turn but the staff handled it well so it wasn't a big deal. My round was like $60-70 and I thought it was well worth it. Would recommend.

Greens are back

The greens have come back from being poor earlier in the year. Even with all the rain the course was not as wet as I thought it would be. Price still needs to be less in the winter than summer rates. Wasn’t crowded but some groups were still slow AF
