Eagle/Osprey at Okeeheelee Golf Course
Played On 11/08/2015Worst experiences ever come from this course
Conditions are ok, and would be worth playing if you were the only ones on the course. However, at Okeeheelee they like to bunch so many people on there that rounds may not be complete in 4.5 hours (I have had multiple 9's take 3 hours each, different years). Rangers and starters are ALWAYS absolutely clueless, and don't even understand the concept of customer service.
If you're some old fogey that likes to play excessively slow rounds, have at it. Other than that, don't bother playing here. Even the other county courses have a much better pace more often than not.

This course is a huge disappointment. Arnold would be embarrassed with this place. There are dirt spots absolutely everywhere. We tried to play roll your ball to grass (it was the bad), but you couldn't even find grass spots (especially around the greens). It's not only winter kill and because of the drought...it is neglect. Out of the 5 courses we played in NC, this was the least playable by far (and ironically the most expensive). The only good thing I can say about the conditions are that the greens were better than average (but so were all of the others minus one that I played).
We waited behind a slow 4 some, which the ranger informed us was a group of "bosses" of the course (which is why he said he wouldn't say anything to them). You would think if you were "bosses" of somewhere that you would want to be good ambassadors for the course and let people through. The ranger was nice, but he still could and should have told them to let us through. That's his job, isn't it?
It's pretty clear to me that the staff doesn't even give a care about the place...
Overall this course is worth skipping. Don't bother.
Hate to say it but that's a spot on assessment of this what used to be a really good track. It's gone down hill and to have Mr. Palmer's name on it is unfair to his legacy. Pity really....

Greens were great. Fairways were the best I played in NC (played 5 courses). Tee boxes were good. Great character to the course. I would love to play it again some time.
Thank you for your review and comments about Okeeheelee Golf Course. We are sorry to hear you encountered difficulties during your round with us. Slow play is not acceptable and efforts are made to maintain a 14 minutes per hole pace. Our rangers are tasked to help achieve this goal while also allowing groups to not feel rushed. We would like to look further into what may have transpired during your round and would ask that you contact Mac Hood, manager at Okeeheelee, at 561-629-8800 or via email at mhood@pbcgov.org.
