Osprey/Heron at Okeeheelee Golf Course

Picked the coldest day of the year to try this course for the first time. Wind chill in the low 40's...I was wearing four layers of clothing and it was still very chilly out there. That said, it was an enjoyable round. Lots of water, some hills which are rare in South Florida, and greens which were in very good condition although rock hard due to the cold weather (balls rolled and rolled if you hit them on the fly). Looking forward to coming back in warmer conditions and having some familiarity with the course...hitting what I thought was a great shot over a hill, to later find out there was water, will hopefully be avoided next time.

Courses we played were in reasonably good shape, except for several tee boxes. Layout is challenging, however, there are a significant number of water hazards that are not visible from the tee box. Hazard stakes would help, but there are none. Drawings of the holes on the tee box or scorecard would help, but there were none. We hit a number of good drives that ended up in unseen water hazards. When I mentioned this to the gentlemen in the proshop, his answer was if you can't see the landing area, assume it's water. So, local knowledge is a must for these courses. Despite my obvious frustration, I still plan to go back.

Once our rain delay (about 45 minutes) at the start was over, we thoroughly enjoyed (with golfers pain) the challenge of the 2 nines that we played.... will definitely be back to try to improve our play now that we know the course a little.....

The staff was exelent, we was delay at our meeting before our tee time and they went the extra mile to get my group on the course that day.

Well this is not what we expected....

The have 3 courses at this public complex, eagle being the most challenging. If you have never played here before like us do not play this course unless you have a more than 12 balls on your bag.
Extremely narrow course with more doglegs than holes and of course water all around and greens son small that is ridiculously.
Greens were firm and full of divots marks.
Osprey was a different deal after the first 3 holes that were in really bad shape you move to the holes on the front of the complex which are very generous with the greens size and the open fairways and some doglegs, the conditions of the course improved on the last 6 holes.

I would suggest you go to OSPREY POINT instead.

It is a very nice Course i will play again And i hood The maintwnance will be alito le better

Great course condition, but they have the best staff you could ever ask!!!!! When you are out there with friend enjoying the Florida whether

We play this course several times a month and always enjoy the challenge. No matter how busy the course is, the pace of play moves well.

Challenging scenic course. It will definitely hone your game! I am playing again this week.

This course is challenging. It is not very long even from the golds, but there are plenty of dog legs that make you think about every tee shot. The course is always busy and the completion time really depends on whom is in front of you. Well this time I was stuck behind some hackers that played like they were in no hurry. Other then that I was paired up with three other guys two of which were not very good, but they held their own keeping up. They were great guys! This course is great during off season when the snow birds leave and speed of play is good! Cheers!

this course is *Mickey Mouse* to many doug legs and hard to read. This is not a course that very experienced golfers will appreciate.

The course has nice and challenging layout. surrounding is nice and natural. The course is little bit too full,our two last rounds have taken about five hours,too much!

This is a very nice county owned park course. The greens and fairways were in good shape. I'd play here again.

It a bautiful place relay good chalange for anay golfer ,gold lay bout a little bit expensive

Other than the rude and slow players in front of us, this was a terrific round of golf

Seul commentaire à faire,
Améliorer les indications pour passer d'un parcours à un autre.

Great condition with nice greens and a lot of dog legs. You should not be using the big dog off too many tees! You'll see...

We were a foursome and played on a busy Sunday morning and for some reason, the starter sent out twosomes in front of us and behind us. We kept up with the group in front of us, but there was always 1 or 2 groups of twosomes waiting on the tee behind us, and they never joined up. LOTS of water, much of it hidden from view. Also, no hazard stakes to help identify water hazards. There were several occasions where we hit what we thought were good shots but ended up in the water. Despite this, would still go back.

not enough water on the course. Can't wash tour ball on every holes

Played twice in one week. Challenging, great condition, great staff, played from the white 1st time and the blue the 2nd time. Blue is definetly best for those who have long drive. Because of the location, wild life and scenery are beautiful
