Occano

Occano is a joy to play. It is a wonderful layout in a picturesque setting. The staff is very friendly and the post round food and beverages are excellent.

Everything smooth on this immaculate goof course, from the fairways to the bunkers and greens. Pro-quality bunker sand splashes the ball out. StunnIng views of Albermarle Sound. Everyone associated with the course is keenly interested in your enjoyment.

Course is well liad out and very challenging as would be expected. Turf was soggy and thin but to be expected for this time of year. I will play again when things green up and dry up.

A yardage book or cart GPS would be great.

There are lots of angles of the tee box. The greens are in great shape and roll true. The current clubhouse is about a 1/2 mile from practice area and first tee box.

A cart is a must.

This is a course that no matter how you play, because of the layout and location on the sound, you just feel great about being there.

Definitely won't play if it is a Cart Path Only day.

They used to have a perk of free range balls. Now they are charging for them, which is one of the things that made me come from Moyock, NC which is about an hour and forty five minutes of windshield time and gas one way.

The driving range had almost no balls in the range area, and no one hitting at our time of play which was unusual. My friend and I were disappointed with this new policy, which is $5 for small bucket, and $10 for a large bucket of balls, which we pay more in gas for the distance and travel and was offset by the use of free golf balls on the range.

The greens fees are more than they were in the past and you get less perks.

We will not be as regular as we were, and play Mulberry links (more bang for the buck) for less and save a hour of travel until this policy goes back to allowing us the leisure of tuning up on the range with free practice balls.

Sounds petty, don't let it affect your willingness to play a beautiful top rated and maintained golf course.

Apparent that the course had major repairs (substantial sod replacement & cart path repairs / replacement). Bunkers & Greens were in great shape. The rate for 18 holes with cart was $75 which is pricey for the location.

The conditions were great, but the weather was tough. Staff was amazing and I look forward to playing it again very soon.

I have played this course before and it is by far my favorite. The scenery, layout, staff, the entire thing is phenomenal. I have played the majority of the courses between Northeast NC and Southeast VA and this is by far the most beautiful course you will play. But what they currently have to offer is not listed in the description and the pricing doesn’t reflect it either. The Back 9 is closed, the driving range is closed, and the front 9 are still recovering from recent renovation. The staff has done a phenomenal job with the place and I do not mean to take away from that, but the description should be updated so people get what they pay for. This is a top notch course, but during the renovation I feel the prices should be lower and the description should reflect what you’re getting. Will absolutely return next year, which will hopefully give the fairways and new features time to heal. Again, definitely the best course within the area, but at the moment it just doesn’t offer what the description online is advertising. Most likely would have chose a different course and returned at a later date had I known prior to arriving at the course. The scenery is still unrivaled by any other course around, and the layout is beautiful.

This course is considered course for all player.!

I was fun to play it and had great experience for me.

but half hole is not working now.

I heard that It is available at end of September.

Anyway, staff and amenity are great .

Thank you for asking me this time!!

Occano is a fantastic course with an outstanding layout and absolutely beautiful scenic holes. The course is in great condition. At this point you can only play the back nine since the front nine is undergoing a major renovation of all of its bunkers and areas around the greens. When complete this will be a course that you will have to put on your list of places to play. The course is exceptional, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the price is reasonable.
