Nice course, interesting layout, poor pace of play
Nice course overall. Breeze off the sound made a hot day a little nicer. Staff was very friendly. Pace of play was great until hole 12, then hit a jam of groups. Would’ve benefited from a marshal and starter, but hiring is an issue so it’s understandable. It’s kind of strange that the clubhouse was a few minutes cart ride from the first hole and the turn is still a minute down the road between 12/13. Overall a nice course.
Wingnut03, thank you for the awesome rating! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another great experience, and thanks for choosing Occano.

Absolutely Stunning
What an amazing course. I found it listed in a list of "Top NC Courses" by Golf Digest, so I had to check it out. It was well worth the 2 1/2 hour drive. Every part of the course was well maintained and perfect. Large sand traps surrounding all of the greens, and also strategically placed up and down the fairways to challenge you even more. This is a great course that makes you focus on the placement of each shot, but yet not too hard so that it slows down the pace of play. This is great course for everyone with the love of the game.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review of our golf course. We are delighted to hear that you found the course well maintained, challenging, and enjoyable to play. We appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again soon.
Extremely slow play will ruin your expensive experience
This course is difficult enough without having to deal with a 5+ hour round of golf. The course is not marshaled and slow play is becoming the norm. Even after asking a member of the grounds crew to notify the pro shop, no one came out to address the fact that at one point, we had 4 groups on a single Par 3. Great course in great condition, but the slow play and lack of interest from the pro shop ruined a good day golfing.
Just Plain Awesome
If you have not played Occano you must not appreciate friendly staff, awesome practice area, tight fairways, bent greens, excellent traps, beautiful layout, excellent views of the Albemarle Sound, and the occasional Osprey or Bald Eagle showing you how to fish plus great pace of play and the best chicken salad sandwich ever !!! Just awesome !!!

It's a gem!
Beautiful course on a new housing development.
The layout of the course is amazing, course conditions are great and above average for the price you pay.
I believe this course is a bit of a hidden gem, I suspect though not for long. I will definitely go back.
Beautiful
By far one of the best public courses I have ever played. Cleveland has some beautiful tracks but this place was so well made. The layout was impeccable. Went with the nature and grounds so well with every hole having its own iconic view. The challenges it presents and the views are what will get me coming back here when I can
Nice experience
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.

Beauteous
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.

Tough day
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.
