"Great course"

10/20/26: Review by B-Man

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...

11/8/12 - Springfield Golf Club "Great course" Springfield is in very good condition. The fairways and rough are dormant but provide a very nice lie and, due to dry weather, a lot of extra roll. The greens are fantastic. They are firm and fast and roll true. This course layout grows on me every time even though it is pretty tough and scoring is difficult. Something else that stood out to me today was that there were very few leaves in play. Normally this time of year you can lose balls that are in bounds due to fallen leaves. For whatever reason, the fallen leaves at Springfield are where they belong and we don't, in the woods. Read The Review
9/24/12 - Highland Creek Golf Club "Average" Conditions are typical of the CT courses I have played this year on my "gift of golf" card. But all things considered the price was still a good deal. The tee boxes were only fair because most were not level and the greens had a bad case of the poa annua "chicken pox". However, lush bermuda fairways and rough make me overlook a lot of flaws. It is a nice layout and piece of land that seems to have a creek in play on every shot which could take some enjoyment from high handicappers. As with most CT courses the design is there, they just need some TLC and probably $$. Read The Review
