Default Okeechobee

We last played Okeechobee in January. It was in nice shape then and it’s in great shape now.

The greens are in good shape. They are <slow> making you pay extra attention to putting specially on the uphill puts . It’s easy to leave the puts short . Not me, though ! 😜. Pin placements were very fair.

The tee boxes were in good shape and showed the usual wear and tear from constant daily play.

Fairways and the rest of the course was nice and green .

My only criticism is that the course is littered with those pesky “tuffs” (weeds ?) but they had minimal effect on play . They are just unsightly…. It does appear that they have been spraying them in an attempt to get this under control….the posted pictures shows the issue. These weed tuffs are also present in many other courses we’ve played.

Overall, I wound give the course an A rating.
