Heron/Eagle at Okeeheelee Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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

My new favorite track
Play was aa little slow, but what the heck, I'm retired!
I just love this course. From tees to green, this course is in great condition. Highly recommended.
Afternoon Golf In Early February at Okeeheelee
This is a great place with challenging golf in a beautiful setting. The overall care of the course is outstanding and the attention to detail from the fairways to the greens and even the bunkers is first rate. The pace of play was a little slow because of a slow foursome in front of us. I was surprised that a course ranger didn't move them along.
I've previously played this course and the pace of play was more than acceptable. It only takes one group of players to hold things up.
I would highly recommend Okeeheelee Golf Course for anyone who enjoys challenging and satisfying golf. Even if it's a little cool and the wind is blowing, it's a great time.
A very wise man once told me that south Florida has the best bad weather in the country and he was and is right.
Nice Course
Course has 3 nines. Lots of dog legs. Good mix and it was in excellent condition. Very fast greens. Only issue was the starter. Not very pleasant and seemed very dis organized. Originally sent us out as a fivesome.
Walk in the park!
Love this course. There were actually two Herons greeting us on the 1st Heron tee box.
Fun and friendly
Love this course. Scored a last minute hot deal for $27 and got all 18 in. Great day on the course, be back soon!
Good value with golf now. Condition and course layout were good. Water sneaks into areas you aren't aware of if you haven't played before. Overall, enjoyed the course and would love to play again if in the area
