• 10/20/26 - Olde Sycamore Golf Plantation, Review by B-Man

  "Great course"
  

  Olde Sycamore is now one of the more dependable public courses for conditions and rates. It is a fun layout where you don't need driver off the tee very often and I've played it for over 2 decades. So it feels like an old friend when I get back here to play. The greens had their last top dressing of sand for the season before we played, but that did not slow them down. They were running at least 10 on the stimp. I think the light sand actually kept a few of our balls from rolling off the green. I was happy with the speed. Still lots of hard bounces on the greens. They are still only about a year old. You need to keep that in mind when playing your approaches and chip shots. There are a few areas marked as Ground Under Repair around the cart paths (Hole No. 3 in particular) and some brush being cleared on a few holes. These mostly don't affect play and should be in better shape by next season. The staff is great and the $56 rate for a weekday afternoon was reasonable. I will be back again soon.

  They recently replaced their greens and they roll like it. A fair amount of tiered greens. They rolled fast as new Bermuda does. They're also new, so they're still quite firm and will be for a little while. I'd consider it a plus since they roll predictably and true. Though, you need to have good speed control. I did not for most of the day. I forgot they had just replaced them during the summer otherwise I would have made EXTRA sure to remember that. :) The course itself is very scenic, was well kept and showed that the grounds/greens keepers are doing their jobs well. It's a reasonably challenging course from the back. I felt the front 9 was fairly straight forward. #10 is definitely narrow and requires a well placed drive. #14 gives you an option to avoid hitting directly over the water on the forward tees, but if you're playing White or Gold, you're going directly over the water most of the way. To play the green reliably on #17 you'll want to be past the sand on the left. Do that and the 2nd shot becomes reachable. Though, if you want a closer shot, there's plenty of room for a layup down the fairway. #18 is most difficult at approach with the water protecting the front of the green. Sadly, I was hitting into the sun and it threw me off and I hooked it a bit... Into the water. Oops. :) Anyway, I was happy with the course and will play it again. Definitely was one of the better stops recently. Online Tee Times are bookable now, too.

  "Worth playing"
  

  The last time I played this course was in March 2016, and a lot has changed in that time, some with the course and a lot with me and my skills. The primary course change was the inclusion of a Silver set of tees that should be (but isn't) advertised on the course’s website, as well as updated on this website. The scorecard specifics: 2575 yards (Front) and 2513 yards (Back) = 5088 total; 65.9/116 Rating/Slope. It seemed to play well as a “Senior Tee”. Playing conditions for a 9 AM tee time were moderately good: Recent rainstorms meant “cart path only”, and there was standing water in one, or two bunkers. As further testament to the impact of the storms, the driving range was closed. The fairways and greens were in good condition in spite of the storms. There was a heavy dew on the grass such that ground balls spewed up sizeable rooster tails, and as the sun rose, that dew contributed to almost oppressive humidity. Thank goodness, I was only playing nine holes while filling out a foursome. My only criticism of the course is the lack of GPS in the carts and/or printed yardage diagrams (I’ll admit, I did NOT check whether a yardage book is available). On-course signage is behind the times also, because the Silver tees aren’t included on the posts. I was surprised by how much I remembered about individual holes, and was able to make necessary adjustments in spite of the lack of information and age-associated loss of distance such that I scored about as well as I had 10 years before. Overall, I would continue to recommend Olde Sycamore to any local golfer.

  Love this course. First time playing it and enjoyed every minute. Great par 5's. This course really makes you think but isn't overly penal. Facilities are kind of minimalist but well worth it for a day trip.
