Heron/Eagle at Okeeheelee Golf Course

Our daughter lives very near this course and when we visit, we’ve enjoyed this course every time. It’s county owned and was in great shape, especially for this late in their snowbird season! Lots of wildlife, tons of iguanas, lots of sand and a good portion of water. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Of course, if you’re a twosome they’ll pair you up with another twosome, as with most course’s here, I’m a newby player and super nervous with strangers watching me! Everyone that we’ve been paired with were very nice and not critical of my skills!

Okeeheelee is in perfect shape! You do have to get an early tee time because it gets slow with mid morning starts,

Rangers and head starters do a great job consolidating. No twosomes between foursomes thank god. The course has beautiful tee vistas and gorgeous open water views.

3 very different 9 holes. Playing here more and more lately.

With 27 holes, the team does a good job of getting golfers organized and keeping up with any on course delays/issues. Course was in great shape. Huge, challenging greens.

9 holes then rained out. Can't reach GolfNow like the course said I had to. Couldnt just give me a raincheck for 9. Said I have to contact GolfNow...GOOD LUCK! Maybe they'll read this review, if not, I'll never use this app again!

Lost our reservation, put us out 45 min after our original tee time and the front nine took 2 hours and 45 min. Save yourself the pain and the money to play here. Lots of better choices in the area with better staff that value your business.

This was by far, the worst experience I’ve had since moving to Florida years ago. Upon arrival, found that our tee time booked through Golf Now had mysteriously been “cancelled”. The attendant could offer no explanation and only said “we are going to try and get you out”. Got our our cart and waited 20min and was walking towards the starter when the door popped open and he asked if I was the group that was waiting. I said yes and he responded by reprimanding me for not being parked in the right spot. He sent us out and when we got to the tee box, the were TWO foursomes waiting to tee off. After waiting another 40 min, we finally started our round that lasted 2 hours and 45 minutes on the front nine. We played 10 and then threw in the towel. I went back into the clubhouse to share my displeasure with how everything was handled and I got an apathetic “sorry”. No offer for anything and clearly they weren’t concerned that they screwed up our day. Plenty of other courses to play in the area that are equally as good and with a staff that values their customers. Do yourself a favor and avoid this one.

Course is in great condition!

I'll definitely be back.
