Odyssey Country Club is a challenging layout that was designed by Harry Bower and two-time U.S. Open winner Curtis Strange. Strange won in 1988 and 1989, putting him in the company of only six others in the century-long history of the U.S. Open. His influence is apparent in all the strategic elements of the golf course as well as the risk-reward options. This demanding layout is not exactly beginner friendly. Staying on the fairways is crucial or your ball will be met with deep rough. Water is also a prominent presence on the golf course. Twelve holes either feature a water hazards or play along the water's edge. Odyssey Country Club's 16th hole is memorable for its tricky island green, which naturally draws comparisons to the famous 17th at TPC Sawgrass.

Friday afternoon

Had a better experience than the 5+ hour round in June. Good pace until 12th hole and then had 2 groups on a tee box for the rest of the round. Rangers were around, but didn't seem to move thing along. Course and greens chopped up due to outing earlier in the day. No one fixed their ball marks. Course played well and soaked up a downpour quickly. Will return!

Great public course

The course was in good shape. Pace of play was good, I teed off at 6:15am, and finished by 9:30. My only problem with the course was that there were many ball marks on most of the greens. Must have been some lazy people playing there lately.

Solid course all around.

The greens were really good. True and firm. The military appreciation is awesome. Wish they had logo golf balls(that’s just me lol) will definitely be back. Starters and staff were top notch.

Slow play

I really did enjoy the golf course I would suggest however that instead of eight minute teetimes they push them back to it the least 10 minute teetimes the second hole is a lengthy part three and at one point they were four groups waiting to play the whole once we got through that it was just backed up for the rest of the day. Luckily at the end of nine the front nine was open so we were able to go out and we just played the front nine again instead of a three hour around the first time it only took us an hour and a half the second

Odyssey is back in good condition

First time playing this course in two years. The course had really gone down and was not well maintained. To my surprise the course is getting back to where it was three years ago. The greens were in great shape fairways were in good condition. Will be playing this course on a regular basis.

Overbook

Guys,

Great track I used to play all the time in the early 2000’s. But it’s getting rough around the edges and you pack it so full, it’s a 5 1/2 hour round. Unacceptable.
I get that the profits go to help the Vets, and that is fantastic. But you gotta spend money to make money. If you let the place go to crap, nobody comes to play, thus less or no profits. And that helps NOBODY.
You need better management to figure out these things.

Poor conditions/bad management

This course has a great potential but management needs to step up. The course layout is great and tough.
Employees are not friendly, going so far as to be rude! There are not enough employees to run efficiently! Beer cart girl didn’t show until 11. Food shack wasn’t open. Only one person in pro shop and she was getting the carts too. I guess if you golf early, you don’t get amenities! And the course was packed with tee times every 7 minutes until 11. Poor planning!
The course opened after several closed days of rain. The course was a mud pit. Advanced notice on this would have been good to know! And to continue to charge full price for it is wrong! The drainage is horrible!
Hire a golf course manager!
