Okeechobee Golf Club

Well, you can call it a golf club if you want but it won't be one for much longer. The fairways were okay, but the tee boxes were weedy and the greens were almost like sand greens except they had grass growing on them - sometimes. The "club house" was a beautiful old two story home but the only part that was open was the bottom floor for the pro shop and cart storage. They used to have a restaurant but had to close it because it wasn't making any money. The "driving range" was a short open area with a tall net at one end and a sign that read: "Do not hit balls over the net." The sand traps hadn't been raked for a long while and the water hazards were scummy. But we actually spotted one alligator in one pond. He was swimming around and attacking a floating stick! Cool! There was trash every where. The pro's wife was filling the carts with gas and there was no one to help us with our clubs. As you may guess, we will not be coming back to this course.

On top of all of that, the day was beautiful but the golf games were not good!
