Odyssey Country Club is a challenging layout that was designed by Harry Bower and two-time U.S. Open winner Curtis Strange. Strange won in 1988 and 1989, putting him in the company of only six others in the century-long history of the U.S. Open. His influence is apparent in all the strategic elements of the golf course as well as the risk-reward options. This demanding layout is not exactly beginner friendly. Staying on the fairways is crucial or your ball will be met with deep rough. Water is also a prominent presence on the golf course. Twelve holes either feature a water hazards or play along the water's edge. Odyssey Country Club's 16th hole is memorable for its tricky island green, which naturally draws comparisons to the famous 17th at TPC Sawgrass.

Great course

I’ve played Odyssey a few times over the years and always enjoyed it. It’s a nice layout with some fun holes, elevation changes and doglegs. Food (a sandwich, bottle of water and chips) were available but you had to order from a website...it was weird. If you have food and water available (which would have been nice since water fountains and the clubhouse were closed) why not make it easy to get? Overall a nice course and I will play it again.

Odyssey Country Club

Course was extremely wert due to the rain, so we had to follow the golf cart path. Took 5 hours but was due to the wet conditions. We loved the course and want to play again, just not when it is wet. Staff was super friendly and gave me the $25 senior rate vs. $35 we booked it at.

Odyssey Country Club - Greens always smooth

I always enjoy this course. The greens are always in great shape. The course has its challenges with some blind shots on some holes if you are not positioned well off the tee and therefore you cannot see the greens and there are trees, etc that can block you as well. The fairways are fine and it is a pleasant place to play.

Odyssey

Great course. Every thing was good except for the driving range. Charging different rates for matts vs grass is ridiculous Range balls are the worse. How about getting new range balls.

I have known.

So it was a perfect Saturday weather wise. I decided at the last minute that I would like to get out on the course. Went on my Golf Now app and noticed every course was pretty booked up. Then I came across Odyssey where the entire afternoon was free. I thought this was odd so I checked out their reviews. They were horrible but I decided to hook anyways. Big mistake. The course condition was just so bad. It had not rain in 2 weeks yet it was still mushy. Mowed grass was left right there on the fairway. Goose crap everywhere. The worst was the rude cranky old man working the pro shop. I have never been so happy to leave a golf course.

Weeds everywhere

This course is going down hill fast. Used to be good. Now.....if ball isn't in fairway, takes you forever to find it. Rough 3-5”, clover throughout rough. Only two holes rough was cut, I understand we had a lot of rain, but its been 100 with humidity for 3-4 days. No excuse the rough couldn’t be cut. Lost about 7 balls that were anywhere from 5-10 off fairway, other guy I was playing with lost about the same. Walking around the rough looking for ball complete joke. Grass wasn’t even wet, and we teed off in afternoon and yet they couldnt cut grass in the morning? Late morning? Noon?

It's a usta was....

This course usta be a good track. The fairways and ruff are loaded with weeds. The sand traps haven't been racked or groomed. Some of the greens were ok, but the majority of the greens were in poor condition. The course must hold an extraordinary amount of water as the fairways were yellowish green in color and extremely mushy. The primary ruff was at least 3 inches and the secondary ruff was 4-5 inches making almost impossible to find your ball.
