Rating 71.8

Orange Lake Resort & Country Club in Kissimmee boasts four different golf courses, two championship courses and two nine-hole layouts. Undoubtedly, the most popular course is the Legends. This Arnold Palmer-designed layout is like getting two courses in one. The front nine is a traditional links that is wide-open and windy, which makes club selection particularly challenging. It is a good warm-up for the even more demanding back nine. On the backside, you will be playing through mature oaks and towering pine trees that border the lush, winding fairways. It is quite a feat to successfully maneuver your tee shots through the narrow openings of the trees, which gives it the feel of a course in North Carolina. The signature hole is the 13th. This daunting hole features a large green that is shielded by a rock wall, surrounded by tall grass, and protected in back by a sand trap.

Course Ranger needed

Staff very good. Course improving as a result of change in management company and time and effort that’s obviously being put into it. Biggest disappointment is that non golfers are still using the golf cart paths, for exercise, short cuts, cycling, skateboarding etc, This is a safety issue, and the potential for someone to be injured is high. This has been highlighted to the resort management numerous times without response.

Problem with starter

I don't know how it happened, but the starter (Mike) gave my slot away to someone else. That, combined with slow play, I was on the course for over 6 hours. The course is very nice.

If you like 5 hour golf...

If you like 5 hour golf, this is the place for you. Yes it is a resort, so golfers tend to be slower than usual but to not have a starter or a ranger for a course like this is ridiculous. On some holes, we would wait up to 20+ minutes and there would be 3-5 groups. They allowed groups to play together so there were 7 carts in one tee time. The course has a great layout, and is in pretty good shape overall. I am a local resident, but I might not play at this course until it’s cheaper in the summer or I’ll just avoid the course in general.

Florida A plus weather

Played Orange Lake Legends over many years of ownership here and this year the course is in the best condition I can remember. Best thing about the course is the variety of holes.

Improving

Played this course early morning in the mist, when you couldn’t see where your drives were landing. As I’ve played here many times over many years it wasn’t such a problem. After being ruined by the previous course management organisation the course is now improving. Lots of work being done to good effect.

Pace of play was slow, took nearly five hours to complete the round, possibly due to only 8 minutes between tee times ?

Non golfers are still using the cart paths for exercise etc, surely only a matter of time before someone is injured, course and resort management seem not to care about this safety problem.

Super course!

I LOVE OLR - Legends Course! Course conditions tee to green are even better than last year with fairways and rough especially green and lush. A few greens are getting some attention, but their playability is unaffected. Course layout is VERY interesting with markers at each tee reflecting quotes from Arnie or Kemmons Wilson that add to the golf experience at ORL - Legends. NO problem with walkers on the cart path, as with the ORL-Reserve course. Staff-particularly the starter- is great. I HIGHLY recommend playing ORL-Legends as it's well worth its cost.

Ranger needed

The course is continuing to get better under the new management company. The greens are quick and the fairways are in good shape. Unfortunately one foursome decided to hold the entire course up as they moved slowly on every shot. We finally skipped them on the 11th hole to find the entire back nine wide open.
