Occano

I loved playing this course. The conditions were excellent and the views of the Sound are awesome.

Palmer designed a fair course with pitfalls if you are are overly aggressive but you can shoot for the flags to receptive greens.

I drove from Raleigh to play this course. Triangle golfers it is well worth the drive.

Course is a bit in the middle of nowhere, but it’s well worth the drive. Was in great shape and staff was friendly.

Gorgeous views, nice layout.. I'm not gonna lie, too difficult for me.. But it was a nice visit..

Course overall is a hidden gem and worth the drive .

This course did not disappoint! The fairways and greens are weeks ahead of any other course this time of year. Everything from the staff to the course itself was superb. I feel it is on the pricey side but you cannot deny its level of play. They invest heavily back into their product. Will be back again!

When you play Occano, you better be ready for some possible windy conditions. The pro shop is not located near the 1st hole or 18th hole. The driving range & putting green are also not located near the pro shop. This issue could be resolved if at the front gate they gave out some directions, or just had some better signage pointing to the pro shop. The course itself was beautiful and in good condition, but there wasn't a lot of guidance given by the proshop, nor was there a starter, so everyone at the range kept asking everyone else what their tee time was. These are correctable issues, but it currently is keeping me from giving 5 star review. In place of a snack cart they did have some coolers on a few holes filled with ice & water.

One of My Favorite Courses – Worth Every Penny

This golf course is absolutely one of my favorites. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by a friendly, professional staff that clearly takes pride in the place. The course itself is beautifully maintained with a layout that’s both challenging and enjoyable for all skill levels. Every hole feels thoughtfully designed, and the scenery is just top-notch.

The only slight downside is that it’s a bit on the expensive side—but honestly, in today’s world, that’s not unexpected, and you truly get what you pay for. If I lived a little closer, I’d be out there all the time.

Great course, great people, and an overall fantastic experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves the game. You won’t be disappointed.

Greens were punched but not sanded. That would have been nice to know before hand.

We had an incredible time at this course from the moment we pulled in the parking lot. We were treated like royalty conditions were perfect. Won’t find a nicer course around.

Such a well maintained beautiful course the layouts offer high and low handicap players a chance to have a great experience. The greens are awesome and challenging to say the least
