I really like the course. I know its an older style layout...the BACK 9 is great but the front 9 has over grown trees hanging all over the fairways...plz trim the trees on the front 9. Then it would be a solid 9 out of 10. Great greens.

Plays like a good course should. You see the green the flags hazards.tee boxes need to be sodded.i love this lay out.not real easy but no a gimmick course. No easy but not to hard I am older have bad knees.go on and laugh we all get old lol. Love love those greens.sand traps are pretty good.all in all a great out that needs some TLC. LIKE ALL PUBLIC COURSES NOW NEED
.GOLF IS DYING. GO PLAY.TEACH.PRATICE.LOVE IT LIVE FOR IT.LIKE I DO. LOOK AT GODS GOODNESS. FRESH AIR BLUE SKY'S. MEET NICE NEW PEOPLE MAKE NEW FRIENDS. GOLF IS GREAT.RAKE THOSE TRAPS FIX BALL MARKS.KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL. HIT EM GOOD BOYS. GOD LOVES GOLF AND GOLFERS.BE A GENTLMAN LEAVE YOUR CELL PHONE IN YOUR CAR. ENJOY YOUR FREEDOM....GREG

I have played this course many many times since 2014..it has gotten worse over the years..the green are like 25 to 30 years old. WORN OUT. JUST PLAIN AND SIMPLE GONE DOA. PLZ dig THEM UP PUT IN NEW ONES WITH BETTER DRAINAGE MORE CONSISTENCY PUT MORE SAND IN THE FAIRWY bunkers. Redo the green side bunkers total makeover tee boxes are plain dirt...NO GRASS AT ALL. HORRIBLE. STAY AWAY. THEY NEED TO SPEND SOME Csh now or go broke in a year. A NIGHMARE OF A GOLF COURSE...NO REASON to lie!!! The truth hurts great fun layout on lf my favorites in Charlotte not now..a waste of money at any price!!! Please redo your greens and all the tee boxes...

STAFF IN THE PRO SHOP IS ALWAYS FRIENDLY TO ME...SOMETIMES THE GREENS IN THE SUMMER GET WORN? I KNOW THEY ARE THE OLDER CRENSHAW TYPE GREENS. THEY REALLY NEEDS TO SPEAD SOME MONEY AND REBUILD THE GREENS...THE GREEN SIDE BUNKERS NEED SAND BAD!!! ALL COURSES GET THIS PROBLEM OVER TIME AND THE SAND BEING WASHED OUT ....LOVE THE LAYOUT..NOT ALL TRICKED UP. A GOOD FAIR CHALLENGE FOR AMATURES..WE ARE NOT PROS WE MOSTLY PLAY ONCE A WEEK. MAYBE TWO TIMES A WEEK...I LOVE OLDE SYCAMORE GC...THE SLOWER PLAYERS NEED TO BE REMINDED TO LET SINGLES AND TWO SOMES PLAY THRU!!! I KNOW I HAVE GOTTEN BEHIND SOME MEMBERS AND IT IS SORT OF PRIVATE BUT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. THATS A GOOD THING. THEY HAVE PLENTY OF PLAYERS TO AFFORD TO REBUILD THEIR GREENS...PUT BACK THE V2 AND V1 BENT GRASS GREENS OR GO TO THE VERY BEST HYBRID OUT THERE. THE CHAMPION HYBRID BURMUDA GREENS. LIKE BALLANTYNE RESORT HAS. LIKE PINEHURST #2 WENT TO ALL SO.U.S OPEN. EVEN IF THEY WENT UP 5.00 BUCKS IN A YEAR OR TWO THEY WILL EASILY GET THERE INVESTMENT BACK...I KNOW I WAS A MEMBER OF RAINTREE C.C. FOR 9 YEARS AND THE HAD BENT AND WENT TO THE CHAMPION GREENS...WOW WEEEE WHAT A HUGH DIFFERERANCE. TOUR QUALITY GRASS.FAST AND EASY TO MANTAIN. FOR A HALF AND HALF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE THEY CAN AFFORD TO UPDATE THEIR GREENS...LETS FACE IT ALL COURSES HAVE TO RE- DO THEIR GREENS THEY JUST GET WASHED OUT OVER TIME. COST OF DOING IT RIGHT!!! PRESIDENT TRUMP BOUGHT THE BLUE MONSTER,DORAL AND HE REBUILT THE GREENS AND NOW IT IS ONE OF THE PROS BEST STOPS,WITH THE CHAMPION HYBRID GRASS. GO PLAY BALLANTYNE RESORT AND EVERY ONE RAVES ABOUT THEIR GREENS...NICE PEOPLE OUT THE PLAYERS AND EMPLOYEES BOTH! THANKS FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND THE FACT YOU GIVE GOLFERS A GREAT COURSE FOR A FAIR PRICE! IT IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES AS FAR AS PUBLIC COURSES GO!!!! I MEET MANY NICE GOLFERS OUT THERE. THEY JUST NEED TO REMIND THERE MEMBERS TO LET THE FASTER PLAYERS GO THRU.WITH OUT ASKING!!!RAKE THE BUNKERS ALL OF THEM AND PLEASE TAKE 5 SECONDS AND REPAIR BALL MARKS ON THE GREENS!!!! THANK YOU B.V. BELK THE OWNER FOR A GREAT GOLF COURSE...JUST PLEASE REBUILD THE GREENS...TRY BALLANTYNE RESORT FOR ME AND YOU WILL AGREE....IF YOU DO THAT YOUR COURSE WILL BE BETTER THAN THEIRS...FOR REAL!!!! GREG HARRIS ..OF COURSE I AM GETTING OLDER AND I GREW UP ON BENT GRASS.I KNOW WE ARE ON THE LINE WHERE THEY CAN GET BURNT UP IF IT GETS REALLY HOT WITH NO WATER.AND PEOPLE NOT REPAIRINF BALL MARKS! I HATE THAT. IF YOU HIT A GOOD SHOT YOU OUGHT TO BE REAL HAPPY TO FIX ALL BALL MARKS,YOURS AND ONE MORE!! PUT OUT SOME FREE REPAIR TOOLS. IF YOU BUY 1000 GET THEM FOR LIKE 5 CENT A PEICE! GOOD INVESTMENT..THANKS FOR THE GREAT COURSE...PLEASE KEEP IT GOING.GREAT LOACTION TO.

staff friendliness was GREAT!!! greens are always perfect!!! fairways fine and dandy. need some new sand in bunkers.getting a little thin...best practice areas found anywhere!!! well stocked pro shop. bag service was top notch. even though the young man who put my golf bag in my trunk hit my bumper and left a scratch. EVEN after I told him it was heavy and to be carful. but he was real nice about it.so no big deal...LOVE LOVE LOVE the greens!!!! thanks for a great round. Greg

First of all I was sent out alone? no problem. there was a 3 some behind me with a female to slow them down.no problem. I was at least 3 shots ahead of the group behind me at ALL times. never did they ever have to wait on one shot NEVER!!! after the 4 hole the ranger who must have been board to tears or is just a old dried up old man? rode up to me and told me I was playing to slow? I ask look behind me? no one was there? I ask him who was I holding up.i was only 1 over after 4 holes...then like 2 holes later he was there again with his worn out red shirt...so faded!! he told me to speed it up.again I ask him who was I holding up? look back is anyone waiting on me to hit? NO!!! he must have followed me for half the front nine. confronted me for no reasons. just to ruin my day. maybe it was because I have a few tattoos? so what I was in the 82nd AIRBOURNE and proud of it...we went though a lot...but I did my job and got half my leg almost tore off. along with me foot being crushed .it took 5 serious operation to get me put back together.i had a 13 year lay off from golf. thought I would NEVER be able to play again. I LOVE GOLF!!! I have played sine 1979..i started back in 2013.like starting over.it was good for my head and my soul and my body.i ask for no sympathy just remember when you see a handicap flag on a golf cart it may mean more than you think..on the back nine I was harassed by a BIG ole country boy.who either was a cop off duty or missed his calling? I dared to ride in the rough even with my flag.he was waiting for me out of nowhere he jumped all over my butt.TOLD ME TO GET OFF THE COURSE? that the policy was 4.5 hours for 18 holes? 3 for 9 holes.Monroe for you.3 and 3 is 6 hours? hahahah!!! a joke.a shame because it is a fun course and the greens roll true.I will return I hope the are nice the next time.If you go out alone your always a target!!! anywhere!!! I think I am owed free round! called golf adviser told they were sending me a dozen golds balls where are they??.I hope this is put up for all to see.thnis is a city owned golf course not a golf course for the locals to have for there private enjoyment. IT IS A PUBLIC COURSE PAID FOR AND RAN BY THE CITY OF MONROE NC. not the so called employees? be nice be happy I was there.i bothered no one! but I was bothered at ever turn! for no known reason? if you can not deal with the public get a desk job...if you can?
