Heron/Eagle at Okeeheelee Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Okeeheelee Golf Course boasts 27 scenic holes of championship golf. The holes are divided into three nine-hole courses that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. Named after the wildlife that inhabit the course, the Osprey, Heron, and Eagle share the same beautiful landscape but each one offers a different set of challenges. Okeeheelee means 'quite waters, ' a name that comes from the tranquil views that stretch to Clear Lake. The Heron/Eagle golf course will test your target golf skills. The course features elevated greens surrounded by bunkers and fairways lined with tall trees and deep rough. It is a challenging but fair test that is still player-friendly enough for a range of skill levels. With three different course options there is plenty of variety, but the Okeeheelee golf courses are accessible as well with five sets of tees each

Nice course but super slow
Here now. Course is in great condition. Pace is super slow we are 3/4 of the way through and looking at a 5-hour round. It's a shame because it's a nice course.
Nice public course
First time playing and enjoyed it. We played with two others who had knowledge of the course. A lot of doglegs . Course was in very good shape and greens were running true. Will play again for the price
I was very disappointed playing this course because two groups of golfers cut in fron of us and we were yelling at them but they don’t bother to listen then I know I left my range finder and still waiting for them to call me I’m not going back there for a while.
Top notch experience whenever I come
Excellent service from telephone to pro shop to starter to end of round. Smiles and simply down to earth staff.
Only got to play 9 before the lightning horn went off!!!
When I went into the Pro Shop to get a rain check, I was told that since I booked with Golfnow, I would have to deal with them to get the money refunded.
I am pretty sure that is a lost cause!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okeeheelee-Recent trip
Always a fun course in good condition. Greens were a little slow this go round. My one objection is they had one of the three nines closed and didn't space golfers correctly so it was a very long round and would have been very close to five hours if we hadn't walked off after 16.
course markings
I didn't have a GPS system that was working. The markings on the course were very bad. Seems like they would put a marker on the sprinkler heads or any other improved signage.
Condition
The course was in great condition considering the amount of play during snowbird season. We played the Osprey & Heron courses. I recommend this course.
