Olde Sycamore Golf Club

Course was in okay shape but greens were money for January

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!

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

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.

Always a great experience. Great practice area, plenty of food and drink options, course is always in good shape.

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.

Great course. Didn't wait much at all. Very friendly, courtious.

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

I didnt have a lot of expectations going into the day other than some fun with friends. But we did have a great time! Service in the pro shop and restaurant were A+ and we had a really great time. Cons - $75 for a winter rate was a bit much for a course that has some really rough looking greens. Pros - course layout and one of the best hotdogs the turn in the Charlotte area.

The fairways and rough are in excellent condition, and I've always enjoy this course for it's varied challenges, but the greens are appalling and really the price of the round should be lowered as a result. This isn't a $75 course at the moment.

Been playing here for years. Greens are currently in poor shape and the worst part, which has been getting worse over time, is pace of play. It seems courses now are fine with over crowding as it’s impossible to play anywhere now without waiting, and Sycamore is no exception. Absolutely gorgeous course layout, but pace of play ruins it. Won’t be playing here anymore unfortunately.

I haven't played Olde Sycamore in months because the last time the greens were a mess.

Kudos to the greens keeping team! They are back to their wonderful shape and rolling very nicely.

The pace of play was great on the front side, but we reached the bottleneck at about hole 12 and from there it was a snails pace. No worries though... it was a beautiful day.

Fall is definitely the best time for golf in the Carolinas.

The greens were in very rough shape and we were forced to pair up with random golfers forcing us into a 4some.

Front nine greens are awful! Worst greens in greater Charlotte mkt area.

Still charging full rates. Very sad

First I will start with the positives. The layout of the course, tee boxes, and most fairways were really good. There are greens however that are dead. I had 3 putts where I had to put through huge dead areas towards the hole. Pace of play is also a huge problem. I quit after 13 holes after playing for 4 hours, it would have been a 5 and a half hour round otherwise. The back 9 was 3 deep on groups waiting to tee off. I’m sure it’s not like this everyday, but it was yesterday.

Greens are in very, very bad condition.

Worst I’ve played. My buddy warned me that they sucked but rolled the dice.

I have zero desire to return.

Owners should be embarrassed

Thanks
