Eagle/Osprey at Okeeheelee Golf Course
About
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.

Agony on the course
Course was nice, people were nice, cheeseburger was good, weather was excellent. But: my brother and I were with a twosome, seemed to be man and wife, and I'm pretty sure she had never played golf before in her life. This at 9am on a Sunday. Swing and a miss x 3 or 4 every shot, before the ball went 10 yards; then fixed her hair and laughed. Insisted on putting with an iron. Ranger said something to us once, but I'm sure if it had been 4 men he would have ridden our butts about playing so slowly. Rangers should not be afraid to speak up, even if it is a woman. Made the round very difficult and the day quite miserable. We tried to lose them at the turn, but to our dismay, they waited for us.
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!
REO
Awesome, beautifully maintained, professionally operated!
They always overbook and the pace of play is very slow, there as a wait at ea tee, 5-10 min sometimes more.
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!
