I had a 2 PM reservation and tried earlier that day to call and reserve a specific bay area. I was…read moreon hold for 37 minutes, which was frustrating. When I arrived, the initial response I received felt dismissive, and I was told there wasn't a way to be placed in a specific area. Thankfully, Brian (manager) completely shifted the experience. He was kind, apologetic, and very solution-oriented. I made it clear I wasn't trying to get anyone in trouble, I just value good customer experience. He and Ashleigh made adjustments and reassigned us to a closer bay, and Ashley even followed up to ensure we were comfortable. Vivian was our server and she was phenomenal. She kept up with our table, made sure our drinks stayed filled, and ensured our food came out correctly. We ordered queso dip, the wing trio, margaritas, and waters. Everything was great. While the experience started off a bit frustrating, the management and service team absolutely redeemed it. I appreciate businesses that take accountability and fix things in real time. We'll definitely be back.

We had a work event here once more since we have so many employees. There were plenty of tables and…read morespots for chatting or golfing which was great. It was easy to set up the games and then begin playing. Doing practice games helps you have an idea of how to get more points. They had plenty of servers setting up our drinks and clearing away the empty plates. Our food selection was an interesting mix of breakfast items but there was also hummus with veggies, fruits and fried chicken/shredded chicken and tortillas. Our event started at 1030a and while there was a lot of parking, we overflowed it and had to use upon another portion as well.

Showed up Saturday morning for a 7:30 AM tee time. On the first tee box, the course starter told us…read morepersonal coolers weren't allowed and said he'd have to confiscate ours if we wanted to play. Apparently management decided the night before to start enforcing this policy. No notice, no warning online, nothing. To make it worse, he said we couldn't even take the water out of the cooler and keep it. So... no water for 18 holes in Central Florida? Unreal. We went back to the pro shop and the "manager" was rude, dismissive, and made zero effort to resolve the situation. He claimed it was due to a city ordinance, which is complete nonsense (I checked). Just arrogant staff enforcing a ridiculous internal policy and treating paying customers like garbage. I work in hospitality--I understand customer service. This place has none. Do not waste your time here. No concern for the customer experience, no professionalism, and no interest in making things right. We planned this round for weeks, coordinated multiple schedules, and this course ruined it without a second thought. The manager flat-out said they weren't worried about upsetting one group. Fine. Bet. Casselberry Golf Course just lost three customers for life. Plenty of better options nearby--Wedgefield is cheaper and far superior, and Ventura is also a much better course for the same price. I'd give zero stars if I could.

I enjoyed my round. This course has 2 different looks. The front 9 is tight and treacherous. While…read morethe back is wide and forgiving. The pro shop is typical and I was served quickly and friendly. The course was in great shape. I have been playing mostly non-resort courses and this course was in the best condition of any I've played. Tee boxes and fairways were great and the greens were impeccable. They were a tad slow as they were just a touch long. About the only general negative, was the layout as it snaked through a neighborhood with several busy street crossings. Anyway, I'd definitely play it again.

The clubhouse was busy and the people there seemed very happy. The employees are always welcoming…read moreand nice. My issue was the course condition. I am not by any means a "golf snob".... But the course has been back open for a few years and there are fairways that are just plain dirt. The green are ok, but are very slow.... I assume to keep them so get don't burn out. In comparison to Palm Harbor that the city took over and re-opened... I had thought the city of Flagler Beach was doing the same with this course but it is in desperate need of a complete grass and irrigation renovation. It is a shame, and I always come back because it would be a really nice 9 hole course (which we do not have any other 9 hole courses around) if they just would make the fairways more playable.

I just had my husband's 80th Birthday at Ocean Palm Golf Course and I can't say enough about the…read moreFood, the Service and the hospitality that made the Party really special. Chef Gerald's Food was spectacular! Steak w/bernaise or Demi, pistachio Crusted Salmon, Chicken Marsala, Shrimp Scampi, Chicken Parm.......all cooked to perfection! Dina, Frankie and Alex were terrific! Went out of their way to make everything special. Frankie even sang a special version of Happy Birthday! Thank you Again and Thank You to Belle and Terry! This place is the best kept secret in Ocean Palm! Lunch every day..... Dinners on Thursday, Friday and Saturday Night with reasonable prices....Plus a Full Bar! If haven't tried Ocean Palm recently, I highly recommend it!!!"
