Odessa National Golf Club

Even though I shot my worst round of the year, it wasn’t the courses fault. Great as always. Arguably the nicest, best bang for your buck in the area. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in excellent shape. Cart attendant was out on a Saturday. Didn’t have a chance to warm up on the range, which by the way is awesome! Go play, you won’t be disappointed.

The course is in excellent condition especially for early season. The pace of play was slow the day I played.

Nice, challenging course and in good condition. I especially liked the cushion-y bent grass fairways. Lots of greens with drop-offs around the sides made approach shots more difficult.

One thing I did NOT like, design-wise, were two par-5s which precluded using driver or even 3-wood from the tee.

Has expansive grass tee driving range and two putting/chipping practice areas.

Impressive clubhouse.

The only downside anyone can find with this place is the practice balls.

They are very poor quality. But who cares when this place is just fabulous.

It's been 2 years since I played Odessa. The course is being maintained very well. The greens were smooth and receptive. The layout gives the golfer a lot of dogleg holes and is well trapped. The par 4s are not long and accuracy is more important than power.

The staff is friendly and accommodating. If you are looking to play somewhere new that is nice and a great value, Odessa is a great choice.

The course is rather challenging as the greens are well protected by numerous traps and it’s just plain fun

It was early season and limited growth but a great place to challenge yourself

The greens roll well but have little to no breaks so that helps once on.

The staff is right there to help all and set up a good day on the track.

Overall you will enjoy the golf at ODESSA

Course is always in good condition, great practice facilities. Good layout with some challenging holes. Slope rating should be higher from the white tees.

Haven't played this course in a while and when I saw it pop up on GolfNow I snagged a hotdeal. This course is excellent, best I played so far this season. Also, the greens are immaculate for this early in the season.

I read all the great reviews and we came to Odessa on July 4th to try it out. The course was spongy from the big rain the day before so the fairways did not roll as normal. We switched from the blue tees to the white due to lack of roll and heat. It certainly helped as the blues were all the way back.

Here's what I will tell you... Accuracy is a must with all shots as there are tons of traps surrounding the greens and to catch errant tee shots. You don't have to hit it big from the white tees but you must lay up properly on the doglegs. You must hit high accurate approach shots as you are not going to run the ball up to these greens.

The 2nd hole is a tough par 5 with trouble everywhere. Staying left in the fairway and before the marsh is a must. If you don't hit a strong layup 2ns shot, you'll have an extremely difficult 3rd shot to a perched green with water in front..

There are quite a few short par 4's that require deft wedge shots to the green. The par 3's are pretty short but nice holes.

I'd like to play here again when its playing firmer and faster as it's a really fine course and a lot of fun,

No 2 holes identical..

Hit every club in the bag through lovely routings on interesting rolling hills. Great clubhouse, range and conditions. Aeration was only 10 days' prior so pretty slow greens but no complaints on greens that held good shots.

Really can't stress enough the interest geld with hole designs and excellent Fairways, teeboxes and bunkers.

Drove 200 miles from Richmond and will make this trip often!

I have played this course many times in the past, but played it for the first time this year.. WOW, WHAT A SURPRISE. The course. is the best I've seen this year. I think it is the best condition public course in Northern Delaware. Everything was in top shape and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly.

It was our first time playing there. The first thing we notice was how nice the staff was, they welcomed us with open arms. The condition of the course was perfect a little wet due to the rain a couple of days before. The greens were moderately fast and challenging. We absolutely love the layout of the course and definitely will be back. Top notch course in the Delaware area. Oh and there is a range also for you to loosen up.

For how good this course's conditions are typically in, can't beat the value. This course is always in good shape, probably because they're not over-publicized on GolfNow. I've played here probably 5 times and it's always been consistent. Greens were tough to read the last time but each course has their tough day. Was also some grounds crew working on the course as well as the sprinklers going off in the middle of our round (which actually felt good on a 90 degree day lol). Only areas that could use some work is the rough around the fairways in spots and a tee box or two lacking some grass, but other than that, I love playing here.
