A Wonderful Nicklaus Gem

Great design and classic Nicklaus tough. As soon as they fix the fungus disease on the greens, this course will be back to second to none as far as daily fee courses in South Florida are concerned,. Still, the greens are passable as is, so go play this course!

Great course, but greens are rough.

Everything other than the greens are immaculate here. Extremely challenging amazing layout, but there are some burnt spots in the greens. It’s not bad enough that it should deter you from playing, but it is something you should know before going in

Nice course

The course was in decent condition. Some greens were beat up. Staff was very friendly. Wouldn’t pay peak season prices, but got it on a hot deal for $83.

Watson Review

The course was nice but the greens were not in great shape and the gnats, mosquitoes and even wasps were annoying. However, the pace of play was awful. It took almost 2.5 hours to play nine holes. It was so slow, we just quit after nine holes.

Uneven conditions

Third time playing there and it is still a great layout, but unfortunately, the conditions were uneven. A number of brown spots in the fairways and a lot of flat green scab spots on the greens that in some cases were one or two feet wide and/or long. They tried to place the holes away from the damaged sections but the speed was inconsistent. Some downhill puts were really quick while on other greens they were medium fast, and ended up well short of the cup.

Horrible

Unfortunately they lost the greens here. Maybe fungus? Nobody explained it to me and nobody apologized. It's that bad. It's bad enough that the ordinary overpriced fees at OC are inexcusable. It's bad enough that I'm not playing here again until it's resolved. Any other golf course would simply reduce the pricing. OC puts itself out there as elite. It's a Nicklaus Signature course. I get that. Maybe their contract with Nicklaus Design requires them to keep the fees elevated. Lots of possibilities but its all hush hush. Anyone with business chops would understand this glaring problem and respond to it accordingly. It's that bad. It's bad enough that their website should disclose how horrifying these greens are. At least 4 of them are unplayable. Not one single green is in average shape. Recall the worst greens you've ever played on and these are worse. What a waste of an otherwise superior golf course.

Jack Nicklaus brute

Was lucky enough to play with a friend who was a member so it was very affordable based on normal rates.
Course was in great shape except for greens which had a few with sketchy areas on them and some bunkers which didn't have enough sand in them, which I know about because I was in a lot of them, as there are many and in strategically tough locations to avoid. It is not a beginners course. I am a decent player so I enjoyed the challenge and would highly recommend a round here.

Amazing course. Found a great deal and although some of the greens had some issues, it did not take away from the scenery and challenge it had to offer. Will be a must play for me every time I’m in the area.

Great course

Top notch golf course. The layout is beautiful. Love playing in the summer when the rates are affordable. They had just sanded the greens so putting was a little difficult today. But otherwise the course is in great condition and I will go back as it is one of my favorite courses in the area

Rip Off

After overpaying $260 because of a lack of public competition, we discovered that they heavily sand the greens every Monday night. Horrible surfaces that absolutely ruined an already tough course. Tuesday’s should definitely not be full fare if this is what you get.
Save your money and play elsewhere!
