Hidden Gem!
I had head about this course from a friend. I finally got a chance to play it Friday, and what a pleasure! The staff was great, very friendly and helpful! The course was immaculate. Greens were fast and very receptive. A challenging layout the rewards shot making while not overly punishing an errant shot. Beautiful setting and layout. I will be back again soon!
It's great course and view
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!!
Fantastic Course
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.
Check in with course first
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.
Awesome Coarse Great Views
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.
Fun, challenging course with a super layout!
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.

Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Occano.
Excellent
Fiarways, bunkers, greens, tee boxes all in excellent condition - plus yeti coolers every few holes with bottled water. A lot of sand traps, so some might find that difficult but typical of Arnold Palmer courses. Overall, excellent and would go again.
Sand traps
Sand traps Need work. But we were told they will be doing a major overhaul later this summer. Otherwise a nice course
Scotch Hall
We have played Scotch Hall Preserve several times and love the course and the layout. This time of year the fairways are like everywhere else a little thin but are playable. The greens were in great condition. Also the staff was pleasant and helpful. I highly recommend Scotch Hall Preserve.
Great course
This is a great course. They treat you like a posh place but without the posh attitude.
Free range balls
Water bottles in coolers on the course
Beautiful layout. Challenging but not so hard you can’t play.
They are going to be closing one nine to fix the bunkers then swapping to do the other nine. It will take all summer
We live an hour 20 minutes away and the clubhouse guy said call we will give you a great rate.
I like that attitude.
Excellent layout!
Love the course, bunkers could use some attention.
Favorite course in NC
I love this place. Staff is always friendly and pace of place is great. Course is in great shape.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Occano. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
