Starter notice we were a 2 some and a foursome was on the first tee with 4 open Holes in front of them.

He escorted us to the first tee and informed the 4, we were playing through. They never saw us again. We played 18 in 3 hours. That’s how it’s done.

Outstanding

Played this course while on vacation and I couldn’t have asked for a better course!! Every part of the experience was great from the range , to the carts being more luxurious than my car. The carts have GPS and have areas where it will shut off if you enter those boundaries. If you are looking for a course where you want to really see how your golf game compares this is the course.

Pace of play slow!

Course was almost perfect the first time I played it. I was surprised at the dirt spots on the course in the rough. Fairways were great; and the tee boxes were not the best. Greens were fine. They still had scarring from being punched. The greens rolled fine. Pace of play was excruciating at times. We actually caught the group in front of us in a tee box and they would not let us through. There was not a group holding them up. I watched a guy walk off steps to putt. Ranger spoke to them; but it was still slow. I would definitely recommend the course; but hopefully you want get out behind slow play.

WATER!!!!

Playing in FlorDuh during the summer you have to put up with the heat. There needs to be more drinking water on the course. The beverage cart only came around once and that was on hole 2 which is my luck usually.

It would be nice if OCN still provided a couple of water bottles in the cart coolers like they used to do. I wish they would also bring back the ranger that came around with cold towels.

Always a great time playing OCN, hot or not.

Very Good Course

The course is very well manicured, moderately difficult course. If your forte is you hit the long ball well, you’ll do well.

Awesome Experience

The course was beautiful and was a lot of fun to play- challenging holes with elevation changes. It is a well-designed course where you are surrounded by the beauty of nature.

The staff keep the course in good shape and only added to the pleasant experience.

Course in good shape, greens are rough

I’ve played this course probably 50+ times the last 10 years as a local. Course conditions are great but the greens are very rough. Not sure why, but looks like someone was using a broken mower on a number of holes. You can perfectly see the lines of where the mower tore up the green all over, and lots of brown. Probably 40% of the greens are brown. I’d guess they rolled about an 8 speed on 6/30 when I played.

Other than that, the fairways and rough was excellent. This layout is one of the best in CFL! Hopefully they are able to get the greens back up soon. I will say, it can be expected this time of year. OCN uses the summers when mainly locals are playing to do maintenance and as a result, have a tendency to let green conditions fall off a bit.

I’ll be back as I always am, just may wait til closer to in-season when they get tournaments being played to head back out.

Not great

Course wasn’t in great condition. Greens were furry and really, really slow. Tee box grass was not mown. Fairways were in good condition but not firm.

Range was in bad condition. basically hitting out of sand and rough.

Not really a fan of the course. Maybe was the tee set up but hit the same club into every par 3 but one. Trees come into play on shots hit in the fairway on many holes.
