West/South at Sycamore Hills Golf Club
Played On 08/26/2017Nice but short
Wanted to get a round in where the family could play at a decent pace and see the course for a scramble we'll be playing in October. The greens were smooth and played at a nice pace. Not lightning, not slow. We played in about 5 hours.
Wasn't all that happy getting the North, West routing. Courses are very short. Each 9 has a pretty tricked up hole where you almost have to play a 300 yd hole with 2 150 yard shots. You don't have to have holes that are drivers every time, but, two mid irons to a hole is a turn off to me. Twice in the round.... even less.
Since this is a course with three rotating nines, we were dismayed that they snuck a 4-some on as we were making the turn and they were SLOW. It took us at least 30 minutes longer on the back as a result.
They didn't mention that an outing was getting ready to start just as we finished. That was fine, but, they choked the entire limited room to pull our carts back to the bag drop and leave.

Played On 05/29/2017A darned good value and in great condition.
The links style of this course might not be everyone's cup of tea, but, for a Memorial Day round that finished a bit over 4.5 hours it fit our group's skill levels just fine. We were able to split into two carts and the longer players played blue and the shorter hitters played the forward tees. Good separation in distance made it enjoyable for everyone.
A lot of playing this course is in the greens. Some are huge with some pretty challenging undulations.
The course condition was pretty good considering all the rain that we got. There was no standing water in fairways, and what little there was, was well into the rough. The greens were still firm and true.
Keep an eye out for specials, it's worth tripping up Rochester Rd.

Had a nice time playing this course with my sons. The weather was terrible but the course was in pretty decent shape. Had been a rough stretch of weather so it wound not been fair to downgrade the course condition. Greens had been recently aerated so they should be in great shape now.
