I don’t like to leave negative reviews, but the experience wasn’t the best started with checking in the guy behind the counter didn’t really care to be at work that day.
The course was dried out, the greens were blah, we paid for 9 played 4 and left. If either the course was good or if we were treated with better respect when we checked in we might have given this course another try.. but no thank you there are other courses that may appreciate my dollars and present.

Good on discount

You can tell an amazing course that has just fallen on hard times. This course used to be stunning and it just isnt cared for that way anymore. The greens have huge bare spots, there are a ton of unrepaired ball marks, it’s just a mid course now. It’s only worth the money when you get a Hot Deal. Used to be an $80 course, now it’s a $40 course.

Another fun round here

It’s December 2023 and this place is the place to play. Greens are slick , little beat up in places, still worthwhile to play. Choose the tee boxes to suit your game!

Solid Saturday Afternoon Round

Booked a Saturday Twilight Tee Time (9 Hole price of $38 w/ cart) as a single & paired with a threesome. Arrived about an 1:15 early and got out 38 minutes early (didn't book originally since extra $20). There were some problems with End of Season cart batteries and a shortage of charged carts, but got it sorted. Played the front 9 and the course was in relatively good shape. Leaves were under control, tee boxes were a little banged up (to be expected), but overall, it was in decent shape for early December.

Turned in about 2:05 with some delays in the group ahead & about 1:20 left of daylight. Hit a backup on 10 & pro gave option to replay the front 9 and took it. Rushed the Front 9 and finished 18 at sundown. Overall, was a good value for $40. Not sure I'd drop 80-90 for a prime weekend tee, but was happy with the experience.

Overpriced

Greens were patchy and in the fairways the ball sat down. The front nine is a circus act with lots of funky bs holes. I only hit my driver once on the front nine.

Greens not there yet

For this time of year the price of $59 was a very good value compared to other courses still charging at least $20 higher. The bentgrass greens are getting better from all the damage they had during the summer months but they’re still not close yet. But I can tell where they have healed up. Layout is still very good as you cannot bomb drivers all day long. No starter this day and a slow thrersome held up play a bit. If price stays down over the winter which it should then I would play again.

Greens full of divots. Fixed well over 100 over 18 holes. No surprise that multiple greens had many diseased spots. All for $85!!!

Old Sycamore

Not a great experience and I have played here before. Beautiful Fall afternoon and pace of play was great. But they must get low class players here - nobody is fixing ball marks on greens, I was repairing mine and 20 others on each hole. Tee markers look like they haven't been moved in weeks. But the biggest issue was the neighbors! On the course - walking their dogs, ball hunting in the lakes, private carts on the course (but not playing), practice chipping on greens close to their back yard. Acting like the paying golfers are interfering with their afternoon activities. A good course Marshall needs to be hired
