"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...

1/25/15 - Emerald Lake Golf Club "Average" I put normal because of it being winter. I understand that we had a lot of rain earlier in the week but this course really needs to work on their drainage. I can not tell you how many times I would hit the fairway and have to take a drop because of casual water. Other than that, greens were pretty quick, and rolled good, but some greens were a lot slower than others. I will be back but if there is any rain at all during the week I might by pass this place till I know its dried out a little. Read The Review
1/31/15 - Highland Creek Golf Club "Great course" I haven't played this course in quite a few years. I have heard of how the course was a year ago and I have read on this site by a few people about the turn around the course has made. I was NOT disappointed at all!!! I love the track by how some holes take my driver out of my hand and makes me play all types of shots. Greens were more receptive then I thought they would be. Everyone says they were fast leading up to the round, but they weren't as fast as they were saying. The greens rolled true, but playing behind a few groups some of them wasn't fixing ball marks and dragging their feet along the green. We just fixed it and moved on. The one thing that I would like to see is that the club house do would be to eventually upgrade from the gas carts. I will be back again especially after spring starts, I want to see how the course is when the grass isn't in a dormant state. Great job turning the place around. Read The Review
