Occano

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.

I have heard so much about this course out in the middle of nowhere. Definitely worth the drive, but... They are undergoing major course revamping. Only upon arrival were we notified that only 9 holes were open. The front nine are going thru upgrades/changes. They are putting a lot of money into what already was a beautiful place to play. At least the 9 I got to see. This will be going on for at least all summer, so do yourself a favor and know what you're going to get. Again, great layout, beautiful views and course in great condition. Got to play the same 9 twice and that in itself helps if you're a first-time visitor.

Fantastic Find! Straight shot to the coarse beautiful scenery and super clean coarse. Greens were great, it seemed like we were on our own private coarse.

I’ve played her several times over the last couple of years but this was my first time since new ownership a couple of months ago. Drove 90 minutes from Va Beach as facility is top shelf. They needed a beverage cart for 85 degree day. Not sure why it wasn’t out. Great value but in the middle of nowhere. I’ll return when I have a day to get away.
