Olde Sycamore Golf Plantation

Nice layout, good variety of holes. Pace slower than you'd want but not bad for a holiday mid-day (4 hours 40 minutes).
The greens are a big problem--they are bentgrass and have clearly had a tough summer. Whole sections are dead, the circular cup transplants are dying, and no one fixes ball marks. So your chances of making a putt beyond a few feet is effectively zero.
Olde Sycamore is going to move to a late-fall course in my rotation--I will not play it again in the summer.

Front desk had hard time processing credit b/c they didn't have access to email. Nice but defensive and not really willing to work with me, had to go back in to get credit that hasn't showed up.
Front side greens were destroyed and burnt up. For the price which I think is overkill, not worth the putting surface.
Grounds crew though limited didn't stop while we were hitting shots, just drove right up past the green while putting.

Greens were in the worst condition I have ever seen. It looked like no one had even thought about maintaining them. There were cracked and dead grass everywhere. Definitely not worth the price. The fairways were fine.

Greens like that should take off some of the price. Worst shape this course has ever been in

They have just about lost all their greens. For $90 they are out of their minds. Do not go here for the next 1-2 years.

The course is great, it offers a challenge for players of all skill levels and abilities. The layout is beautiful, forcing a variety of different shots to score well. However, the greens are in terrible shape for such an expensive course. The round felt like a joke because of the conditions of the greens. Dead spots everywhere, no consistency in roll or speed, with some pins protected by huge dead zones around the flag. Hit one of the dead zones and there’s no way to predict how the ball will respond. Some will bounce like you’re hitting cart path, others shooting sideways, and the rest plugging.

This course is insane to charge what they charge. The greens are in awful shape. This happens every year it feels like. Until they drop rates significantly or change to Bermuda I'm done getting ripped off here.

The greens are in very bad shape. Is this due to the very hot weather the area has seen in the last 2 months or is it just a lack of attention?

On such a hot and humid day such as yesterday it should be mandatory that the water jugs are checked every 2 hours or so. This is the second time I've played in extremely hot weather here and both times the water jugs at the T boxes were empty.

Fairways were in good shape. Some of the greens need a lot of help.

Played here a lot but the worst greens I have ever seen. They did let us know beforehand they were aerated, but still looked really, really bad.

Haven’t played this course in awhile. Was very disappointed to find that the greens were in terrible condition. Splotchy, bumpy and disappointing.

I played from the Whites. This made the course very enjoyable. Think it would be a much greater challenge from the Tips...maybe next time.

First off, I love this course. Always have. This isn’t limited to any singular incident either. The pace of play has been awful and the ranger seems to do not hug about it. When you consistently have 3 groups waiting on a par 3 there’s a problem. Yesterday there was a group playing extremely slow and to top it off they would each stop to hit an exploding golf ball every few holes. Yet the ranger drives by a few minutes later and says nothing. Then there’s the course conditions. For $99 on the weekend and asking people for $10k upfront to join as a member. You would think the course conditions would be top notch.

Played 18 but it was cart path only due to the amount of rain received the day before. But course was still in decent condition. My only gripe was the amount of ball mark damage on the greens. As golfers, we need to take better care of our greens.

Overall, course was in good shape. My only criticism was the pace of the greens, they were shaggy and slow. Tees and Fairviews were in good shape.

A course that charges more than $90 during peak and has absolutely terrible greens. The local munis around Charlotte are in better shape that Olde Sycamore. Had an absolutely slow foursome in front of us and saw a ranger multiple times but it didn’t improve anything. I won’t be back until the greens are fixed.

Very nice condition. Pace was on time but felt slow waiting for the groups ahead.

There are a lot of dog-legs and forced layups on this course. I only needed to hit driver off of the tee on 3 holes on this course. I really enjoyed hitting 4 Irons and hybrids off of the tee. The greens were fair and maybe 2 greens had some maintenance issues.
