The Legends at Orange Lake Resort
About
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.

Good value but not the best condition.
This is a great golf course but is in the worst condition I've seen and I've been playing since it opened. The fairways are a bit patchy and have been cut up for some sort of treatment. We played winter rules to place the ball. The greens are very patchy and sometimes just smooth dirt in places. It's all ok for me though, the rates are reduced to the lowest I've seen (just paid 18 bucks) and the location and on site facilities make up for it. Still had a great time.
Gary Walker Fairly Good
Course was undergoing some fairly major renovations, which affected play, but overall it was in decent shape. Staff was really good. When course grows back in. it will be great.
Worst conditions I've ever seen
I'm usually not one to bash something, but this course was horribly maintained. I mean it was awful. I'm from Indiana and have seen some goat ranch type courses, but this place just wasn't taken care of. Every hole had patchy rough, loose soil, tread marks everywhere, patchy greens, nasty ponds, etc. I even had to ask the drinks girl what happened to the course? I read great reviews and figured this course would be amazing bc it's in Florida and that was not the case. Even the 18th hold had the flag stick IN THE FAIRWAY, bc the green was sooo messed up. So I literally was putting on the fairway to get in the hole. I paid $30 on golf now for this $100 course and even $30 is a ripoff for this course. Yes, it's that bad. Everything else tho was amazing. Service and staff was excellent.
Nice layout but course in poor condition
Glad I didn't pay full price. Course in poor condition and hopefully the work carried out will sort things out soon enough. I play in Scotland and have seen better conditions in middle of winter. Like the layout and I'm sure I would have given 4 stars overall of course wasn't in such poor condition. Staff very friendly.
Fun to play
Great course for average golfer wide fairways big greens not real difficult to putt nice layout front and back are completely different styles of courses
WARNING! Undisclosed Verticut / Horrible Conditions!
So many options in Orlando - wasted last day of trip on this cow pasture. Weeds and bare spots abound. Ponds nearly dry. No conditions alert on GolfNow.
This was probably a nice track a few years ago. Palmer design. I understand there has been a drought in Orlando but we played 2 other courses that had been spending money on water. I am completely disgusted by this course's lack of transparency and honesty on GolfNow. We didn't play other courses (eg Waldorf) because they were honest about their aerification.
GolfNow needs to:
A) police this kind of stuff. I consider a lack of disclosure to be the same as a LIE.
B) come up with a rating system that weights recent reviews more heavily than older reviews.
I want a $150 credit!
Poor playing conditions
I have played this course last year. Liked it very much and decided to take my daughter there for a my birthday round of golf. We are both very serious about her golf.
Staff was great about telling me about the water holes and bath rooms but failed big time to tell us they have 4 temporary greens. Would not have played or booked had been aware of the conditions. Not happy.
Still not recovered
Fairway and Greens still suffer from sprinkler system brake down during late summer 2016.
Drought has affected greens.
This is a nice course and considering the drought, the fairways are in pretty decent shape. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the greens. Several of the greens were almost unplayable and to top off our misery, it seems like they were recently top-dressed with sand. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Hopefully some rain will improve conditions here.
Very Dry
Course has suffered from the drought. They are working on getting it back to par. Still a good track but the greens have seen better days.
This place was beautiful just needs a little work on some holes
This course is definitely a course to play. They get your clubs from your car and put on the cart. They are very helpful. All the carts have coolers on them for you to put drinks in. The course is laid out beautifully. A few holes need some work but overall it is immaculate. Loved my time there.
Blamed on the drought
Could not believe they charged what they did for a golf course in such poor condition. Weeds on very poor greens!! Fairways bare and what you might consider 75% "ground under repair". Choose another course. No food service on site and barely any drinking water locations. Drought or poor maintenance and greens keeping... with is it?
Favorite Course
Considering how dry this area has been this course is in excellent condition. The greens roll true a quick but there are some weedy spots. Overall it was an excellent play.
Good Value Round
Only gripe was the poorly managed Kiwanis Club tournament that ran long and caused a 30 minute delay at the 1st tee. Pace for a foursome was solid after the 1st tee, though.
Under $30 to play a Palmer designed course is a steal...
Paul's Golf Florida
Overall it was great only exception was the bar being closed for a function at the after my round and no bar cart.
