One of the best courses I've ever played!
Course in tremendous condition, fantastic layout. Beautiful views.
Phenomenal
The course is in fantastic shape. The layout is excellent. The views can’t be beat. I will be playing this course again soon.
Thank you so much for your positive review of our golf course! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the course's condition, layout, and views. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another round of golf.
Beautiful
By far one of the best public courses I have ever played. Cleveland has some beautiful tracks but this place was so well made. The layout was impeccable. Went with the nature and grounds so well with every hole having its own iconic view. The challenges it presents and the views are what will get me coming back here when I can
One of the true gems in North Carolina
So much to like about this course - from the folks in the pro shop to one of the best stretch of closing holes I can think of anywhere. We had a beautiful day and there were other players out, but we had a real nice pace. Never waited, never felt rushed. Enjoyed the variety of shots required and of course, the incredible scenery offered by the Sound. Move this course closer to a metro area and you'd have to pay double. Get your round in now before this goes private. Can't wait to get back and tee it up here again.
Nice experience
Occano is a joy to play. It is a wonderful layout in a picturesque setting. The staff is very friendly and the post round food and beverages are excellent.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Occano!
Hi, u314161593553. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Occano. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Beauteous
Everything smooth on this immaculate goof course, from the fairways to the bunkers and greens. Pro-quality bunker sand splashes the ball out. StunnIng views of Albermarle Sound. Everyone associated with the course is keenly interested in your enjoyment.
Your feedback is important to us, u314163560994. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Occano.
Tough day
Course is well liad out and very challenging as would be expected. Turf was soggy and thin but to be expected for this time of year. I will play again when things green up and dry up.
Tough track without course knowledge
A yardage book or cart GPS would be great.
There are lots of angles of the tee box. The greens are in great shape and roll true. The current clubhouse is about a 1/2 mile from practice area and first tee box.
A cart is a must.
Beautiful Course and Location!
This is a course that no matter how you play, because of the layout and location on the sound, you just feel great about being there.
Definitely won't play if it is a Cart Path Only day.
They used to have a perk of free range balls. Now they are charging for them, which is one of the things that made me come from Moyock, NC which is about an hour and forty five minutes of windshield time and gas one way.
The driving range had almost no balls in the range area, and no one hitting at our time of play which was unusual. My friend and I were disappointed with this new policy, which is $5 for small bucket, and $10 for a large bucket of balls, which we pay more in gas for the distance and travel and was offset by the use of free golf balls on the range.
The greens fees are more than they were in the past and you get less perks.
We will not be as regular as we were, and play Mulberry links (more bang for the buck) for less and save a hour of travel until this policy goes back to allowing us the leisure of tuning up on the range with free practice balls.
Sounds petty, don't let it affect your willingness to play a beautiful top rated and maintained golf course.
Great Course But Pricey
Apparent that the course had major repairs (substantial sod replacement & cart path repairs / replacement). Bunkers & Greens were in great shape. The rate for 18 holes with cart was $75 which is pricey for the location.
Excellent hidden gem!
Fantastic course conditions. Nice variety of holes makes for a fun layout. Plenty of tee options to give you options of how much you feel like challenging yourself.
Quirky start with 1st and 10th tees well away from pro shop. But you feel like you are out by yourself without home's lining each fairway. A BONUS! in my opinion.
Challenging but overall enjoyable and beautiful
An enjoyable challenge. Beautiful views and large fluffy bunkers.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Occano.
Nice course, interesting layout, poor pace of play
Nice course overall. Breeze off the sound made a hot day a little nicer. Staff was very friendly. Pace of play was great until hole 12, then hit a jam of groups. Would’ve benefited from a marshal and starter, but hiring is an issue so it’s understandable. It’s kind of strange that the clubhouse was a few minutes cart ride from the first hole and the turn is still a minute down the road between 12/13. Overall a nice course.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the pace of play on hole 12. We will take your comments into consideration and continue to work on improving our course and services.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your kind words about our golf course, including the tremendous condition, fantastic layout, and beautiful views.
