Osprey/Heron at Okeeheelee Golf Course

Short course for those used to play from the white tees. Fairways good condition. Greens quite slow for those used to 9-10 STIMP. Lots of hidden water areas, so if not used to the course, a good looking shot could mean lots of trouble. Average golfers (200 yd drivers) need to be very careful on some holes and club down when in doubt. Windy conditions made this worse, but also a problem on holes where wind was not a major factor. Lots of dogleg holes contributed to hidden dangers.

Cheap rates. NON well kept grass bunkers locker room or anything really. OLD tired looking Everything about it..... But, its NOT horrible!

From the moment we checked in the staff was very helpful and welcomed us. The course is well maintained and we finished under 4 hours. During the round the Pro came around and thank us for playing at the course. A nice touch. An enjoyable day at a public course.

I was not able to be on time for my prepaid tee time on Friday 12/23/16. This was due to a small but time consuming family problem. I called the course and advised them of my problem and asked ,and I only asked because the round was prepaid , if they could fit me in later in the day

The staff made it very clear that this was not their problem , and that if I could not

Make the prepaid schedule tee time and that I would lose the money. They also mentioned that they did have available tee times later in the day but that I would have to pay for it separate from my initial payment. As you would imagine I declined their offer and found another course to play at

As a result of these policies of having to prepaid your round and not having any recourse in cause you are not able to attend. I will no longer use Golfnow to make my tee times and clearly have no desire to play a round of golf at this course and have to deal with the indifferent customer service they provide

The Heron Eagle 9s were challenging and scenic with plenty of water holes and scenery, lots of dog legs and plenty of tree trouble and traps. I seemed to find many of these this round. The wind was 15-20 mph and made for an even more adventurous round. Finally, for a Florida course, quite a few uphill shots and side hill lies. Overall an interesting experience especially for a public County owned course.

Nice little course in fine shape.

I play a lot of courses in Palm Beach County and this course has slowest pace of play by far! Very enjoyable course, just make sure you pack your patience.......

Always fun to play here he course is in great condition from tee to green.

With a 1:16 tee time we were very disappointed when making the turn to find three foursomes put in front of us. We completed two more holes then called it a day. I asked later about the practice and learned they do this as routine policy.

The course is in very good shape.Tees fairwys & greens are in very good shape,& the scenery is great.

GREAT PUBLIC COURSE THAT IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED, THE STAFF IS GREAT, THE COURSE IS GREAT AND WE(2-SOME) FINSIHED IN ABOUT 3.5 HOURS....

Wet, wet, wet...... Price too high for that condition at this time.

This is a great place to bring friends to play golf. Even though it's still under construction somewhat we still had a great time until the last three holes where it rained.

Always fun to play - lose a few balls - find a few balls Will be back!! Close to home- Fun!!

This golf course is by far one of the worst I have ever played and one of the worst in the State of Florida. It's not only the course itself but the "staff" or joke of a staff makes the experience even worse. They are smug and rude and will openly mock people to their face. It not only happened to me but other people who I watched walk in. I walked in and the guy behind the counter didn't even bother to get off his stool or uncross his arms and said to me "what do you want?". Okay, what do you think I want, your working at a golf course. I told him I had a 1:24 tee time and he said "can't you see we are under a lightning strike advisory." I said no because there isn't any sign and there are no clouds in the sky that would indicate that. (The lightning strike that put them in the advisory happened 3 minutes before I arrived and 9.68 miles away). He then preceded to look at the other gentleman and say don't these people look at the light on the top of the building. Let me be clear that I have severe anger issues so it took every part of me not to tear his head off.

After waiting over an hour and the lightning not moving away me and my wife decided to cancel our tee time that we booked on golf now. So we called golf now so they could call the golf course so that our full amount was returned. My wife was on the phone and said to the guy behind the counter they are about to call you. He said to her "this isn't my first time". Now he has been rude to my wife and again I have anger issues so I bite my tongue instead of his.

This isn't the first experience of rudeness I have had. A few months ago I had a 8am tee time. I decided I might try and hit a few on the range before my tee time. I went in around 7:30 and as I paid for my round asked if I could get a bucket. The guy said the range doesn't open till 8:30. Okay, not a problem. As I was walking away he said to another employee "what idiot thinks a driving range would be open this early". I again had to just keep walking for fear of taking a golf club to this guys head. (By the way, I have had 7:30 tee times elsewhere and been able to hit on the range before. I also have a driving range near my house that opens at 8.)

But aside from these people believing they work at some upscale golf course where people are allowed to where jeans and tee shirts to play or cargo shorts and a molly hatchet tank top, the course itself is a despicable mess. The greens look like rhinos run on them every morning, and no one fixes their divots from balls hitting the green. They do a horrible job when they change the pin placement, they are horrible at evening out the edges and taking care of the old pin placement. The tee boxes are garbage and I am pretty sure they only mow the fairways once every two weeks.

Overall, every aspect of this course is HORRIBLE. It may be cheap, but spend a few extra bucks and go somewhere with some decency.

Played on Sunday June 5th. Greens were rolling very good, (it helps if you know how to read grain). Fairways and bunkers in good condition. The tee boxes on the par threes looks like they got a lot of play this past winter though. Overall the course played great. Kudos to the superintendant and his staff for having it in good shape right now. Too bad that you will be aeriating soon because they seem to be really ideal right now. We played as a twosome in 3 hrs and 20 min. (Osprey/Heron). The starter was doing a grat jod that day. It was our best experience in a long time at Okeeheelee. Its such a fun track to play as long as you play from the correct tee box for you.

Don't even bother with Okeeheelee. I have been playing this course for years and it keeps on getting worse. Greens are unpredictable and you can't even tell the difference between fairway and rough. Starters have no idea what is reality because they put everyone on the same course, backing everything up. The funny thing is there are three courses there. Starters and the people upstairs are rude and very inept. Rangers do nothing except sit in a cart and drive around. It seems like they do it for the free golf. I am very disappointed in what this course is coming to. I will take my wallet somewhere else, like Osprey Point. I have never played a course that is worse than Okeeheelee, and I've played Binks Forrest! To wrap it all up in a nutshell, DON'T GO THERE!
