Heron/Eagle at Okeeheelee Golf Course
About
Okeeheelee Golf Course boasts 27 scenic holes of championship golf. The holes are divided into three nine-hole courses that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. Named after the wildlife that inhabit the course, the Osprey, Heron, and Eagle share the same beautiful landscape but each one offers a different set of challenges. Okeeheelee means 'quite waters, ' a name that comes from the tranquil views that stretch to Clear Lake. The Heron/Eagle golf course will test your target golf skills. The course features elevated greens surrounded by bunkers and fairways lined with tall trees and deep rough. It is a challenging but fair test that is still player-friendly enough for a range of skill levels. With three different course options there is plenty of variety, but the Okeeheelee golf courses are accessible as well with five sets of tees each

Secret gem
This course is beautiful to behold. Play is challenging and fun. A true well kept secret.
A nice course worth playing
This is a nice course which is worth playing. This course has more water than I have ever seen on any golf course. There's hardly any shot on this course which does not have the risk of going in the water. That includes putts which if struck too firmly could wind up in the water. However the course has a nice design, is well-maintained, and is worth playing. However, be forewarned, make sure you have more balls in your bag than you would expect to need, because you may very well need them.
We love the birds
A beautiful landscape and bird sanctuary to admire while playing a round of golf with well-maintained greens The staff is terrific. Two in our foursome love the hot dogs on the turn!!
Course I’m Great condition
I haven’t played here in about 2 years. I will be coming back more often. The staff could not have been friendly. There was a slight rain delay of about 20 minutes and a little rain during but pace was still good and the course is in great shape. There are only 2 nines open as I believe the Herron is closed. My buddy and I will definitely be coming back. I saw my first gator in Florida on the course today. He (she) was just resting near the lake. Didn’t even bother some ducks that were close by.
Good course amazing location
Staff need to understand customer is first ,they don"t need attitude
Excellent Course
Excellent course. Excellent driving range. Excellent Pro Shop. Excellent staff.
Eatery was only fair but that is probably because there are not enough customers to make it a worthwhile effort.
Played today
Today we played Eagle and Osprey. Challenging layouts, but the 9’s were in great condition. The starters were great. I recommend playing this course.
Good public course, not too difficult, very good greens.
The course we played (Eagle/Osprey) was wet because of all the rain we have had, but very playable. The greens were very smooth, average speed, and undulating. The Osprey had some very large greens. The fairways were in good condition, though there was some standing water in places. We played lift, clean and place, though I had surprisingly few mud balls, and rarely touched the ball in the fairways. This course is excellent an value, and always fun to play.
Aerated
Water on the course everywhere. Balls plugged at least once per hole. Awful. 9 out of 27 holes open. Extremely disappointing.
