As requested on another thread, here are some pictures and a few comments on Sycamore Hills. I've only played the course once, so there may be others who can add more information about the course/holes. Yardages are from the back two sets of tees (7200, 6700). I've not played enough Nicklaus courses to know if/where it ranks among his best, but I thought it presented a strong variety of holes and challenges.
#3 Par 4 396/350
Shortish par four around a massive bunker left. The green slopes more from back to front than it appeared.
#7 Par 3 195/167
This hole reminded me somewhat of Blackwolf Run River #13. However, I like this hole better because its length allows for clubs to carry the trees. The shorter tees are placed further to the right allowing for a more direct angle to the green. The water must be carried, however, from every tee.
#8 Par 4 455/421
One of the 2-3 best holes on the course IMO. The tee shot plays downhill with the creek guarding the right. There is plenty of room to drive, but the second must go through the "tree-gate" to the well-guarded green. Two precise shots required to score here.
#9 Par 4 409/385
Par 4 with a second played uphill to one of the more severe greens on the course.
#14 Par 3 205/183
Solid par three to an angled green that is relatively shallow. Not an easy target.
#15 Par 5 530/494
Really neat par five that is unique to me even in the risk/reward arena. The creek meanders through the entire hole and has to be crossed 4 times from the back tees. The green is very long and angled with a fall-off at the back. Probably requires a few plays to understand how to attack this one. I'm guessing not everyone will like this one as much as I do
#16 Par 4 463/425
Toughest hole on the course that requires a second over the creek and a bunker to a smallish green. Five is not a bad score on this one.
#18 Par 4 437/406
Solid finisher, another challenging par four that doglegs left before an approach over the water (which does not get too near to the green).
