Course Description
Olde Sycamore is a semi private golf club located in Southeast Charlotte, North Carolina. We offer an exceptional Tom Jackson designed 18-hole championship golf course. Our Bermuda fairways and Crenshaw Bent Grass greens are just some of the reasons that Olde Sycamore was rated the "Best New Course" and "Best Golf Course Eastside" by Charlotte's Best Magazine. As well as, the #1 golf course to play for Charlotte residents by GolfCarolina.com. Olde Sycamore Golf Plantation is a golfing pleasure nestled among a mature forest of hardwoods only a few minutes from I-485. This semi-private course opened in May of 1997 and was recognized as the "Best New Course" and "Best East Side Course" in the Queen City by Charlotte's Best Magazine.Carolina's noted Hall of Fame architect Tom Jackson, who has built many high-profile courses in the Carolinas, routed Olde Sycamore through majestic Carolina tall pines… ideal for golf. Fairways are hybrid Bermuda and the undulating bent grass greens are among the best in the Charlotte region. A nice touch at Olde Sycamore is the use of zoysia grass around the bunkers, allowing for greater definition around each green. Such a combination creates the best condition and challenges of a premiere course. All skill levels and ages can enjoy the beauty of Olde Sycamore located minutes from Uptown Charlotte.
