Good layout with many doglegs. Challenging layout that tests every part of your game. Fairways were perfect and aprons and chipping areas around the greens were in excellent condition. Bunkers were all raked and in very good condition. Most tee boxes were excellent; however a few of the par 3 tees were pretty thin. Customer service in the pro shop, restaurant and the beverage cart were all outstanding. Well-stocked pro shop and decent food menu. The only negative comment is regarding the greens – lots of brown spots, some fungus and burn spots and a large number of ball marks. Speed was decent and they rolled fine – but they were a long way from great or perfect. Unfortunately, this time of year with high temps and high humidity, bentgrass greens are tough to maintain in the south. Will definitely play Olde Sycamore again, but will likely wait until fall when the cooler weather will give the greens a chance to thrive. Hopefully, down the road, they are considering replacing bentgrass with bermuda.
