Today was my first time playing the course and it was a great experience! The price for 18 with a cart relative to the condition of the course was really reasonable. And getting to the course, it looked really nice! The fairways were well-groomed and the greens were quick and true. I would definitely recommend Sycamore!

Sycamore Springs Golf Course recently hosted the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) Girls District Tournament, attracting many grandparents eager to watch their granddaughters play. However, the course’s poor distribution of spectator carts left many disappointed. We arrived an hour before the first tee time, only to find ourselves in a long line to secure a cart. Despite our efforts, the line barely moved, and we were informed that there were no more carts available. This was puzzling, considering the anticipated crowd. When inquired about the lack of carts, the staff member responded rudely, stating that renting a cart would cost $100. However, this does not have to be the case. Many courses bring in extra carts for special events at a negotiated price with the supplier. In contrast, the next week, Heatherwoode Golf Course hosted the OHSAA Girls State Tournament. They implemented a system that required a handicap placard to rent a spectator cart. This approach proved to be highly effective, eliminating long lines and ensuring a respectful and efficient experience for spectators. Sycamore Springs should consider learning from Heatherwoode’s success and implementing a similar system to manage spectator cart availability. This simple change could significantly improve the overall experience for both spectators and the golf course staff.

Beautiful course. Everything was in great condition. Tee boxes were better than some golf course's greens. Pace of play was awful but it was a Friday on Labor Day Weekend...so that was expected. Drove an hour and a half and was not disappointed. For sure will be back.

This place was a nightmare in khakis. The staff greeted us like we’d just insulted their families. One guy in the pro shop rolled his eyes so hard I thought he was having a medical emergency. The course looked like it hadn’t seen water, or effort since 2008. The greens were brown, the fairways were dirt, and the sand traps? Literal gravel pits. I lost a wedge and part of my soul in one. A grumpy bald marshal charged us $40 just for the golf carts. Not sure if he was bored or just hates joy. If you enjoy bad attitudes and post-apocalyptic landscaping, this place is perfect. Otherwise, run.

Course was in great shape. Tee boxes and bunkers very well maintained. I golf a lot and usually not at the same course. Highly recommend this one.
