Okeeheelee Golf Course offers 27 holes of championship golf. The name is Seminole for 'quiet waters,' an appropriate name since the course's secluded parkland setting overlooks the sparkling waters of Clear Lake. The holes are divided into three nine-hole courses that provide three different 18-hole combinations. Named after the wildlife that can be seen throughout the golf course, the Osprey, Heron, and Eagle nines all offer unique scenery and challenges. The Eagle/Osprey combination will test your target golf skills. The elevated greens are framed with strategically placed bunkers and deep rough and tall stands of trees line the fairways. There is no shortage of water on the course either. In addition to the three courses, Okeeheelee G.C. offers a driving range and a large putting green as well as chipping, pitching, and bunker practice areas.

Good memories

Back in September of 2000 my father worked there. In fact he was working there when he got ill and passed away. At the funeral your staff was friendly and recommended the course. I finally had that chance today. The course was well maintained. Practice facilities were excellent. Water on every hole. Some of it blind.. traps were in great shape along with the greens. They had two large groups of golfers going out as I went out creating slow play. Great place to play if you want to play 9 holes. Overall I would recommend the course for play. Great views, great day, and great fun.

All was excellent except the starter was close to be very impolite. Very sarcastic. No need for that when you serve the public.

Amazing conditions

This course is in immaculate condition despite the heavy traffic it gets, which goes to tell you that it's all about the TLC its staff gives it. I had an early tee time, and was paired with guys that played at a decent pace, so the round lasted less than four hours, which is unheard of at Okeeheelee. I played the Eagle and Osprey. The eagle is a beast of a challenge, the Osprey was a little more forgiving but still challenging. I'm glad my game was on point which made for a really enjoyable round. For a short hitter like me, with drives averaging between 220-240 yards, the gold tees are a perfect challenge. The tee boxes were perfect, nice and flat and perfectly trimmed with good grass. The fairways were in great shape, and last but not least the greens were immaculate and rolled pretty true and fast. If you want to play at a course with a great layout, in excellent condition, and that's affordable, then look no further.

Great course, great people

Sunday, beautiful weather, full tee sheet and still the starter found me - a single - a slot. 3 nines helps but the starter made it happen. All fairways are in super shape, even after several rainy days. The green are fast but run true. A few idiots drove thru wet areas even after we yelled, but the rangers are ucyclenarmed so what can you do!

What a course

Okeeheelee is beautiful and the course is awesome. I love the layout and the degree of difficulty is your choice between 5 tees. The new superintendent has made this course a great venue for all. The fairways are immaculate and the greens are pure and roll very nicely.
Several greens can be challenging depending upon the pen placements, but still fair.
3 championship courses are enough to satisfy my appetite so I have made Okeeheelee my home course.
Great staff and facilities with food and drinks and a bucket of golf balls on the driving range or maybe fine-tuning your putting on a massive and well-maintained practice green, ENJOY!
