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

Really Nice Facility
Courses are in great shape, well manicured and greens are tough but fair. Very much worth the money.
Okeeheelee County Course
It's apparent the county put a lot of money into this course. The course is in amazing shape and the starters did a great job with pacing. Our round was about 4 hours and 20 mins, though I had heard rounds were taking 5 hours there recently so we may have got lucky with the groups ahead of us.
Bag drop
It was embarrassing to see three elderly staff at the bag drop argue over a $2 tip from some other player.. profanity was used.
Sad
Fabulous Course!
It's the best public golf course I have played in South FL in the past year!
Nice public course
This course has 27 holes and you'll be assigned to 2 of the courses depending on availability. All 3 are decent, present a reasonable challenge. There's a lot of water on this course, and many blind shots. Prepare to lose balls. Overall, it is better than most public courses and worth playing. The amenities are also above average. Beware, there are aggressive birds on this course and they will take up residence on your golf cart and search it for any food. Take precautions.
Poor
We teed off at 1:16 told we had to have the carts in the barn by 5:20 no rangers evidentto keep the pace going at the turn a twosome cut in front of us and slowed us way down we went back to the starter and he wanted their cart numbers which I provided nothing was done we quit on the 14th hole because of darkness and to have our carts in by 5:20 upon leaving the course all the groups in front of us and behind us were still on the course if you’re going to make rules have the staff enforce them for $60$ apiece for my family’s foursome this made for a terrible day
Slow slow slow!
They overload this course! On some holes 2 groups waiting on the tee! Tee times only 8 minutes apart but with walkers mixed in with riders it is EXTREMELY slow! Started round at 12.30 and had to give up on the 14th hole as it was getting dark and we were unable to complete round. We complained and we were offered a $8 rain check!!
Total waste of a day and very frustrating!
Everything good!!
Pace of play/ conditions of course/ staff friendly- no complaints
