If you went to Fox Prairie/Angus Links in the best couple years, it was a little rough as they switched to zoysia grass, but it is fully in now and looks great. The course offers a lot of variety, switching between narrow and wide fairways and you have to use every club in the bag. A good experience.

I have not played many public courses around the area (Fox Prairie, Meadowview), but this course was the best of the bunch. A links-style course, it brings water into play on several holes but is not overly punishing if you miss the fairway. My only complaint was the few (and inaccurate) yardage markers around the course - I hit my 150 club from beside the 150 mark on the cart path 20 yards over the green on one hole. There are several holes which could serve as signatures, and the course really brings every club into play at some point. Fantastic course for the price.

This is a great course to play - the layout is very nice, especially with #9 and #18 coming up on opposite sides of the same pond towards the clubhouse and sharing an extended green. My only complaint was that on most of the front 9 and a couple holes on the back, the smell from the creek was excruciatingly bad, to the point where I had to back away from a couple shots to take a breath. That said, the course is worth the price for the round - however, if you have to choose between the two Fuzzy courses in the area, go with Champions Pointe.

The front 9 of OCCC has at least 5 holes with blind shots - 3 to greens and 2 off of the tee. I'm sure that it gets better if you play there all of the time, but for a first-time player it becomes very tiring. Couple that with the ant hills covering several of the tee boxes, the course was not exactly inviting. #9 is a very picturesque hole to end the front 9 on, but other than that I would not recommend playing this course if you have other options.
