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.
