Don't play this course until they fix the greens
15 of the 18 greens were absolutely horrible. They had sand traps and mud on at least half of the greens.
Overall great value, fairways were great, greens not so much
It's been a while since I've played Olde Sycamore but it didn't disappoint. The fairways were in great shape, but the greens have had a tough summer. Looked like they got burned some with the heat and humidity stretch we had in late July through early September. Even so, we thoroughly enjoyed our round. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, u314164599988. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Olde Sycamore Golf Plantation!
Course was not in best shape
The course had some high and low points. The bunkers had plenty of sand (played out of one) the fairways were in good shape. Depending on the hole though the greens were terrible. A par 3 green on the course on the front 9 is almost unplayable. The course is fine, just might look somewhere else for a better green experience.

Greens need work
The course layout and fairways were in great shape, but the greens were inconsistent and in a couple of holes almost unplayable.

Just fix the greens
First time playing olde sycamore. Our group enjoyed the course layout, conditions, and amenities with the exception of the greens. Not sure if they are doing maintenance or what but they were in strangely poor shape. Lots of dead spots and uneven terrain which was surprising considering the rest of the course was in great shape. Staff was very friendly and the clubhouse/pro shop was all you could want. Will be back but hopefully they address the greens.

Greens in horrible shape
The worst greens I have ever played… bare spots, divots, no grass, uneven surface on every green… the worst pin placements too
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the poor condition of the greens and the placement of the pins. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.
REAL BAD GREENS
And i mean real bad for the price . You charge top dollar but the course is in the worst condition i have seen in a awhile. pack every day but not taking take on the course, every weekend it full so what are they doing with the money if the course is in so bad condition. You can't blame the weather we had rain all year not an super hot one eighter.

Greens
Most if not all greens were terrible. Won’t come back until they get those fixed or redone
We apologize if your experience with the greens at our business was unsatisfactory. We take your feedback seriously and will work on improving the quality of our greens. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
TERRIBLE TERRIBLE GREENS
The greens on this course are the worst greens I have ever played on. They are absolutely atrocious! People don’t fix their divots. There are probably 100 unfixed divots per green. It is impossible to putt or read the greens. This course is not worth the money it costs to play here.
We apologize for the poor condition of the greens during your visit. We are aware of the issue and are taking immediate steps to improve the maintenance and repair of divots. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your feedback.
Greens are terrible!
I highly recommend staying away from this golf course. It is obvious they are not investing money in the course. The greens were completely shot. Several pin locations were in areas where you couldn’t stop the ball in the green due to the bad spots all over the greens.
We apologize for the negative experience you had at our golf course with the condition of the greens. We appreciate your feedback and will take your comments into consideration to make improvements. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
WORST GREENS I HAVE EVRY SEEN
Don.t know way you charge- 80$ on the weekend and all the greens are damage. Edges burned up by sun and chemical damage. If your a top course way is it in so bad shape ? Sorry i can't say go here it's not worth the price. very over price for what you get if you love great golf courses in great shape.

Sad what the course has become
Played this course for 20 years. Never seen it this bad. We stopped after nine because it took almost 3 hours to play the front nine. And the greens were so bad we could not putt.
We're sorry to hear about your recent experience at our course. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and we apologize for any inconvenience caused. Thank you for your continued support over the years.
Worst greens ever. Do not play here.
The greens are just about unplayable. Bald spots and divots everywhere. I haven't seen greens that bad in years if ever. Skip this course.
We apologize for the condition of the greens during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will work to address the issues you mentioned. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Great course layout but greens needs fixing
Great fairways and layout but greens are in absolutely bad conditions! I would not recommend to play here until greens are fixed. Otherwise, I love the course.
We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with the condition of our greens. Thank you for highlighting the positives of our fairways and layout, and we hope to have the opportunity to improve your experience in the future.
In bad shape
Played on 9/10/23 greens were about 50% mud. Fairways and tee boxes were okay. They may blame it on the rain but it looked like the greens were just dead and deteriorating. Same thing happened last year around this time.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the condition of the greens during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration moving forward.
Greens need a lot of work
Overall, the courses has a great layout. However, the greens were very poor and the course was definitely not worth the price they were asking with the greens and that type condition.
This was very disappointing.

Course is nice, greens are rough
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.

We will take your comments into consideration as we continue to improve our course. Thank you again and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.
