Two years later
Course has been in great shape both times altho no Pro Shop on first visit. Only down is the trek to No 1 from Pro Shop, need Dr Livingstone to suss out a shorter route!!!
Very friendly staff and we will be back!!!
Fun course
It was a fun course to play. The greens were smoking fast and the fairways were dry and hard so you were getting a lot of roll on the ball. The gentleman at the desk in the pro shop was helpful and very nice.
FUN
Enjoyed the round. Staff super friendly. Course Al it if fun, great challenge.
Mr. Roberts
It was cold and windy but had a great time. I actually had the back 9 a to myself. The joke came when that huge tree was in the middle of the fairway, with the green surrounded by bunkers…it was awesome. I look forward to playing when the course is green!
Thank you so much for the review. We are glad you had a great time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Occano.
Beautiful golf course and community!
Four of us traveled south from Virginia Beach to play Occano in October. We are so glad we made the trip. Beautiful, fun and challenging course, great scenery , so many picturesque holes and so well maintained. It was one of the best trips we've made in several years. The staff (Bubba and dining room staff) were so helpful and friendly. I can't wait to play it again.
THANKS!
Great layout.
Great course, excellent staff. The lack of food/drinks at the turn was very disappointing.
Course great, staff, not so
We ended up playing behind a group of 5 men who took their sweet time. We had a backup of 4 groups behind us. The lady behind us was with her husband and they drove 3 1/2 hours to get to the course and were very unhappy with the pace of ply. After a couple holes, she called the pro shop and complained about the 5dome taking so long to play. She was told by the pro shop that there was nothing he could do and it was too bad
.
My son and I played the rest of the round and when I went inside to the men's rest room I told the man behind the counter that this was the first 5 plus hour round this year, and I was not pleased about playing behind a group of 5 men who would not speed up, nor would they let anyone play through.
This is the first time playing this course since new management and very well may ne my last.
Totally unacceptable behavior all around.
We apologize for the negative experience you had at our golf course. We understand the frustration of playing behind a slow group and we apologize for the inconvenience it caused. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
It was HOT
Beautiful course, near perfect conditions, blue sky, but hot. Not warm, or toasty, but hot. 98, high humidity, and no breeze. Nothing the course had a hand in but it just sucked the juice out of you. Started at 11:20 and finished around 3:40, didn't miss a second of the worst heat.
A couple of things bothered me. None of them had to do with the course itself or the staff. They had to do with some of the folks playing the course. I was taught as a young golfer that I should always repair my ball mark and one more. Still do it to this day. Yesterday I must have repaired at least 100 ball marks. Seems like I was the only one doing it. Not that it was confined to the greens, it carried over to the fairways as well. One guy ahead of us was especially noteworthy. He must have taken hundreds of practice swings as there were many patches where 4 or 5 nice fresh scalps were found.
Enough of that. We'll be back later this fall when it is a little cooler and we can fully enjoy this magnificent venue.
Thank you for your review and for acknowledging the beautiful condition of our golf course. We apologize for the hot weather that affected your experience and also understand your frustration with other players not repairing their ball marks. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you back in the cooler fall weather.

Absolutely Stunning
What an amazing course. I found it listed in a list of "Top NC Courses" by Golf Digest, so I had to check it out. It was well worth the 2 1/2 hour drive. Every part of the course was well maintained and perfect. Large sand traps surrounding all of the greens, and also strategically placed up and down the fairways to challenge you even more. This is a great course that makes you focus on the placement of each shot, but yet not too hard so that it slows down the pace of play. This is great course for everyone with the love of the game.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review of our golf course. We are delighted to hear that you found the course well maintained, challenging, and enjoyable to play. We appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again soon.
Just Plain Awesome
If you have not played Occano you must not appreciate friendly staff, awesome practice area, tight fairways, bent greens, excellent traps, beautiful layout, excellent views of the Albemarle Sound, and the occasional Osprey or Bald Eagle showing you how to fish plus great pace of play and the best chicken salad sandwich ever !!! Just awesome !!!

We strive to provide the best experience for all of our customers and we are delighted to hear that we exceeded your expectations.
Extremely slow play will ruin your expensive experience
This course is difficult enough without having to deal with a 5+ hour round of golf. The course is not marshaled and slow play is becoming the norm. Even after asking a member of the grounds crew to notify the pro shop, no one came out to address the fact that at one point, we had 4 groups on a single Par 3. Great course in great condition, but the slow play and lack of interest from the pro shop ruined a good day golfing.
