Occano

The Pro's: Excellent condition; great layout; water view holes are fantastic; fairways like carpet, staff is very friendly: special mention to Lori ,who booked our reservation and upgraded us to a villa; Terri, who runs the bar/restaurant and Chad, who provides the cart & loads up the bags. They made us feel like family. Our villa was amazing. 3 bedrooms, each w/full bath, kitchen, living room, dining area, fireplace, HD TV's, nice patio. Would be great for 2-3 couples travelling together.

The Con's: My wife & I are in our late 60's and we play a lot of golf. The men's forward tees at our club measure 5500-5600 yards. The men's forward tees at Scotch Hall measure 6073 yards. Hole #10 is 375 yards, straight uphill. The ladies tees measure 5330 vs 4650 at our home course. Just way too long for us and, probably, the retired crowd in general. Also, the rough is US Open style. Very long and difficult to even find your ball. I lost a ball 10 feet off the green!! Between us, we lost 7 balls in the rough. We loved the course, the facilities and the staff but, we probably won't be back.

Great course. Very challenging but fair.

We will go back! loved the plush fairways and

generous greens

Excellent course. Really tough with heavy grass next to fairway. Everyone you met was very friendly. Just a long travel to 1st tee and grill and long ride back to clubhouse. Not set up well

Was my 2nd trip to the course. I had just played it the previous Saturday. Both times I experienced great hospitality, great conditions, and an all around good atmosphere. This course has easily found it's way into my personal favorite top 10 and it's definitely not number 10. I strongly recommend this course if you value great conditions, a great layout, and an enjoyable round of golf.

Every time I play this course I fall more in love with it. The only negative about the place is the club house is about half mile from the 1st tee.

I love playing Scotch Hall. It is one of my top 3 favorite courses in NC. The greens are always in superb condition! The wind is always a factor and makes this place very difficult, so choose your tees wisely. Good luck on the 5th hole!

beautiful course,good layout , right on Albemarle Sound a hugh body of water, good breeze, brent grass greens, great views along the way, just hard to get to but Ill play it again

While chatting with one of the staff members I learned the new Pro Shop had been open only about three weeks. The course is great and the new Pro Shop is very nice. I found the location of the new Pro Shop, though, to be very inconvenient considering that it's located a half of mile or more from the first hole. When we mad the turn after nine holes we had a long ride to the Pro Shop to get refreshments. When the Pro Shop was located near the first hole and the ninth hole it was more convenient.

Challenging course, friendly/ helpfull staff, look forward to my next round here.

Only issue was finding a nice Place to eat dinner.

Don't let the scorecard fool you. Even though this course looks like a long course for the women golfer, it is very playable. You need not be a long ball hitter to play the course. Greens are in great shape. Spent the night at one of the courses rentals - a great set up for a couples trip, buddies weekend, girls weekend away or a small corporate retreat.

Really wet day. It had rained the whole day before and on & off for the front nine. Course was cart path only but was in great shape. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens are up there with some of the better courses I've played. Lots of tee options for all levels of players. Greens rolled great. I'll be back!

Awesome piece of property with an outstanding golf course in great condition . A must play for any golf enthusiast ! We will be back soon . Wish it was closer than the 1 1/2 hour trip from Wilson, NC

we played this course on wed. after we had several inches of rain. the course was playable but very wet. cart paths only, other than that this course was in great shape, nice greens, nice tee boxes, great fair ways, one of the best courses we have played. will play again, but when its dryer

Found a great deal on golfnow on a course I really wanted to play so away I went. Attendant met me at my car with my cart, he loaded my bag, told me a little about the course. Cart had a small cooler with bottled water and a nice gps system that was very helpful with all the distances.Coolers on the course with bottled water and apples were a pleasant surprise.

The course was in great shape. Fun layout with challenging holes. Some of the truest greens I have ever played on. Fairways like carpets. Rough is short but thick...easy to loose a ball even near the green

Amazing views, long par 4's and 5's. Greens roll true and rough is super thick.

Greens and fairways were in excellent condition. Nice view of Chowan River.

Fantastic layout! Course winds through the property where no one hole is like another. Fairways and greens are top-notch!

Wow! Drove 2 hours from the Outer Banks area (Corolla) & wasn't disappointed. This course was spectacular. From tee to green, the course is in great shape especially this late in the summer. The greens fees was even more a surprise for such a high quality course. I recommend anyone in the vicinity of this course to book a round. You will not regret it.
