Olde Sycamore Golf Club

Always enjoy this course, greens in decent shape for this time of year. I like the layout.

It's a nice course and I play it about twice a month. The fairways are in fairly good shape given it's October. The greens are a little worn but again we're towards the end of the season. The staff could be friendlier and I really don't like that each person has to pay a $10 cart fee if you request single carts. if you drive together there's no cart fee - it doesn't make any sense.

Pretty great distance, maintenance, variation, and amount of hazards. It’s a course that is well maintained and better than most courses within the city proximity but not quite as good as red bridge/eagle chase in my opinion. Greens were pretty fast and had very few major blemishes. I would come again if the price is right but I think most days I’d make the drive out a bit further. Played on a packed Friday with moderate pace of play.

Best time of year to play golf. Good weather, good condition, greens ok...needs some ball mark healing.

Some of the greens were not in good on the outskirts of the greens. Otherwise they were good

Great layout and wonderful staff, but the greens still don’t reward good golf shots. The greens are getting better, but they haven’t been this good since May. Same story every year. During the warm months the greens are over watered, which promotes various diseases and limits healthy roots. Then numerous pitch marks and resultant debris affect the putting part of the game. I still have to take relief from damaged areas on too many greens. Too many players fail to repair their pitch marks on the soft greens. They are getting better, but the process will repeat next year and the greens will be smaller. If you don’t care about your putting this is a great course.

I was very disappointed in the conditions at Olde Sycamore. Admittedly it rained a few days prior so the greens were soft and susceptible to ball marks, but there were tons of spots and raw ball marks on the greens, and two of the greens (pictured) were so chewed up it was like putting on shag carpet. Throw in generally soggy fairways and cart-path only pace of well over five hours, and it was a very frustrating and disappointing day. Can’t fault the course for the weather/cart-path only decision, but the greens were almost unplayable in certain areas. I will wait until next season before giving Olde Sycamore another shot.

OVERALL: 5.4/10

I used to love this course, but over the past couple years it has deteriorated. Several of the greens where so torn up, that you could not even putt on them. Pace of play was terrible. We had several Tee boxes where we had 3 groups on the tees. There was no Ranger to help with this issue and it was really bad when you had groups of walkers catching up with those who were riding! Not the best round.

The layout of this course was factastic. Very challenging, you’ll play every club in your bag, but the greens were absolutely horrendous. Tire marks on the green, bare patches of grass, and not a single ball Mark was repaired despite all the signs instructing to repair ball marks. One of the greens looked like someone had smashed a wedge right in the center of the green. Another green had tire marks all around the green and even more tire marks on the green right in front of my ball. Truthfully, NOT worth $55 a round even on a Sunday afternoon. The green conditions really ruined our round.

Really great course here, challenging, fun, well kept. Pace of play was a little backed up but only by 7 minutes.

Practice greens and driving range are excellent. Staff is friendly and dedicated to making sure you have a great round.

Course is overall very nice, fairways are excellent, greens and bunkers are well kept, and tee boxes are well main tee. Overall, great course for the money. I would not recommend walking due to the amount of hills, but very fun course.

Quite a few greens are in really bad shape and not really puttable. Those that are still puttable are very inconsistent speed wise. Been this way all summer

Great course for the value. Some of the greens needed a little attention, but nothing major. The only issue that can easily be addressed is several groups not repairing ball marks. Greens had 3-4 large marks on them from previous groups.

Great course and pace of play-

Fairways and roughs well maintained. Greens held the ball well, were moderate speed, had lots of bare spots and ball marks. Maintenance crew may want to allow greens to harden if players are not repairing ball marks.
