T- Box Markers

Love the course and layout but the Markers combination with the Gold and white, didn't give any advantage to seniors.

Very good and a bit different

Played Odessa National for the first time in a threesome on a Wednesday morning. I had heard good things about the course, but no details. I liked it very much. The layout is hillier than I was expecting given the topography of this part of Delaware; I’m assuming they moved some dirt around. It’s a solid track, with a few tricky holes so I’m glad we played with someone who knew the course and could provide some advice. The grounds crew were actively working on some of the aprons around the greens while we were there and were replacing sod. I’m not sure what happened, but it’s good that they are maintaining the course. Pace of play was a bit slow at 4:20. I’m not sure if that is typical on a weekday. I stopped for a tasty club sandwich and a beer in the (surprisingly) busy grill room. I’ll be back.

Rude ranger

Tanger was rude and controversial. Tried to start a fight. Claimed that I was cursing at him when I did not even talk to the guy. The gentlemen that shared the cart was the one that complained about the pace of the groups in front. I tried to ignore the situation and he still followed me to the tee box. I don’t think that I will be coming back to this place.

Worth the Money..

Wish people would learn to fix their ball marks.. it was ridiculous. Every putt i had to repair one or multiple ball marks.. every single putt. But besides that I enjoyed the layout and the course was in pretty good shape considering recent weather we've had. I'd definitely go back again.

Another hot one!!!

Had a great round. While the course may not be terribly wrong there is definitely a strategy you need to navigate the course. Trouble resides everywhere and proper angles into greens are crucial for success. The greens are not tremendously big so iron play is where you make or break your score. Greens were in good shape and bunkers were full of sand and frustration.

The staff were great, good pro shop, and the bar was full of air conditioning and smiles!

I look forward to coming back soon!

Resort quality course and staff, great value

First and foremost the resort quality layout is a ton of fun to play. Pins were tucked aggressively on several holes, many of the greens are long and narrow, or shallow and wide, encouraging strategy off the tee. Several driveable holes weigh major risk/reward. A very fun round of golf.

The practice facilities were excellent for a public course particularly at this value, the clubhouse and staff are both very engaging and pleasant. I'm eager to come back with a scoring mindset and challenge the course. Not somewhere you'll have a ton of fun just knocking the ball around. The course had gotten a ton of rain the days prior to my round, the bunkers were still wet and the tee boxes soggy, but the course otherwise drained very well and the fairways were firm enough for cart traffic and soft enough to hold penetrating drives. Greens were absolutely great.

Quite a few renovations happening around a few of the elevated holes from the rain, but I applaud them for the dedication to up keeping the beautiful course. Go play it!
