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.

Resort fees for a dried up course

The course was so dry tee boxes were mostly bare and dry rotted and dry rotted and animal holes on greens fairways were dirt and grass .They still charged full price . I would not recommend playing on site. Go off site and get better deal and better condition

Terrible condition

This course should not be open. No grass on fairways or greens. Being an Arnold Palmer design I expected far more. 5 hour round and apparently only one Marshall to look after both courses. Never saw him. Suggestion to Golf Now that they remove this from their site until the course is returned to some form of reasonable condition.went into the pro shop at the end of the round and as politely as possible told him about the condition of the course. Only response I received was--Oh that's too bad. Again Save your money. Don't play this course

Horrible course

This was the worst course I have ever played at. The conditions were awful! The tee boxes were hard with no grass and the greens were bumpy and had crab grass. The fairways were a mess. We thought it was a joke. We paid about $77 pp for greens fees and cart and you couldn't pay me to play there again. What a waste of money!

Worst value for your money. Go somewhere else.

Course very over priced for quality of tees, greens and fairways. Not worth any more than 35.00. Greens have weeds, poor tee offs and fairways are so,so. By the way, I have played the Reverse Course there and it is worst. Have a great day.

Nice layout. Course conditions could be better

This Arnold Palmer design is a nice layout - easy off the tee for short hitters but challenging the longer you hit. However the course was very dry and fairways were brown and like hitting off hard pan. Better lies in the rough. Greens had dead patches and crabgrass in spots.

DOG TRACK

I came down to stay at my condo at Mystic Dunes last weekend. I had a tee time which i canceled because the course is in really bad shape plus construction of new units. So i booked the legends on golfnow which was $75. Small buck of range balls is $10 and large is $14. Dont be fooled by the practice green the real greens have 3 different types of grass and i swear i putted through a patch of creaping jenny. The whole place course is a mess. The Integrity group more like NO INTEGRITY Arnold would be disappointed.

In Need of Care

As usual, the Palmer design was very interesting, enjoyable and challenging - very thoughtful. Management, however, was lacking. Scorecard photocopies (not originals), no range balls available, very rough tees and greens and very dry conditions. Several other courses in the area were in much better shape.

This could be a premier course if it were better cared for.

This used to be a great course!!

I have never given a bad review before but I feel I have to here. I have played this course in the past and it was in great shape, not anymore! We had a group of 8 guys playing and were very disappointed, the course has gone down the drain, much like Metro West did last year. Fairways are void of grass, needs a lot of water and fertilizer I think? Greens have weeds and are very thin. This a very accurate review so take my advice, don't play here unless they give you a rate of under $40.00 per round. And I would just stay away until the management changes and they get this beautiful layout back in to shape>

Palmer at its finest

Great place to play. This time of year it's hard to find a cours in excellent condition so the grass was not number one. But the layout and design is outstanding. Shot above average but was pleased. Great place to play.

Overrated

Expecting a 4 star course, but it was closer to a 2 star rating. Driving range was hard packed. Fairways were burnt and hard packed also. Practice putting green was in great shape, but that was the best green we putted on all day. Most of the greens have issues. On a positive note the sand traps and waste areas were acceptable. Pace of play was slower than average. Approx 5:15 for the round. Even one of the rangers was very apologetic about the condition of the course. It appears that the current management does not want to put any serious money into it. Course has a very interesting layout. This was the last course we played on during our vacation and it was by far the worst.
