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.

Mixed
mixed feelings.... the course is in a beautiful setting, fairways are really nice, greens are disappointing. i would definitely play there again, even worth the drive from fort lauderdale. my biggest complaint, and unfortunately this is just typical of many south florida courses, the cart guys are unwelcoming and grouchy, just feel like i'm bothering them by showing up. one of them even gave me some kind of sarcastic response to a question, and i assure you i am a polite and even cheerful person (happy to be playing golf!). sad. it just means i'm going to keep the tip in my pocket..... if i worked a customer service job that depended largely on tips, i would go out of the way to put on at lease a fake smile.
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!
