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.

Great value
Course was in great condition and the price was fantastic at $35.
Disappointed in play!!!!!
Outside staff not very friendly. Course layout is great and somewhat challenging depending on tee selection. I will never understand how a course will allow a group of 5 to go out during the weekend! This group had 8 groups backed up on 2 holes. I think they had a Ranger on the course (that's what it said on his cart), he must have been friends with the group of. The Ranger did not stop one time and tell them to speed up play or let groups play around them. I enjoy playing the game but 5 1/2 hours is just too much when your sitting in a fairway or tee box for 10 minutes or better constantly! I spoke to the staff about the group of 5 on a weekend and they expressed little concern. This was very disappointing because course is great to play. Was extremely disappointed in the staffs lack of action to try and remediate the issue!
GolfNow booking price made this course tolerable due to the group of 5 slow play!
Excellent layout
Great value for money & an excellent lay out that will test all golfers
Winter greens
The course was in good shape overall. The greens have been repaired and are very slow...wouldn't want to play a money game there for a while.
needs some work
Ive been playing here for 6 years and unfortunatly its been getting worse every year,in spite of the many workers we encountered,sitting under the trees on their equipment.Crab grass is taking over the greens.But for $15 it was worth it...Please save this course.
Legends
Fair value at discounted rates. At full price, there are many other courses in the area that are a better value and experience.
A very nice Palmer designed resort course.
This a nice course , in a housing / hotel development area. Interesting mix of holes, not a lot of similar holes on this course. Course was in good shape, greens rolled true , but slightly slower than most. A good place to play if you get a hot deal.
course has nice features
greens poor
spots on greens where there was no grass
crabgrass
not cut completely
sand on greens in areas where no grass
some tee boxes had no grass just dirt and weeds
Very Nice Experience
Being a resort course I expected the amenities to be very nice, to which I was not disappointed. From the first contact at the bag drop area until the very end of the round I was impressed with the friendliness of the staff. I was also very pleasantly surprised with the course itself. It had been several years since I had last played the course and it was still every bit the challenge that I remembered. Overall the conditions were very good and a great value.
Thanks so much for your review! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the amenities and friendly staff. We appreciate your feedback hope that you'll come back and play again soon!
What has happened to this course
We have played Orange Lake Legends on many occasions, it has been one our favourites and has always been in good condition. On this visit the greens
were disgraceful and I have to wonder what has happened. Even on a hot deal this was a waste of money.
Thank you for your review. We're consistently working on the course and making improvements each day. We're sorry that you didn't have the best experience this visit. We hope you will come back and play again soon!
Don

Legends at Orange lake
The course was in great shape, started did say that they were just recovering from lack of rain this season, except for a couple of spots on on a few greens. The rough is fairly thick so dont expect a lot of distance coming out. Greens were firm and fairly quick. The biggest confusion is that there are twi courses on the property and both names Legends so you could find youself at the wrong course fortunatkey they are relatively close to each other. Gret course for the price look forward to playing again.
Thanks for your feedback! We're happy that you enjoyed our improving course conditions and that you had a great time. Please come back and play again soon!
Nice Layout, Greens need work
I was pleased with the layout of this course. They are having grass issues throughout the entire course. Many types of grass growing in fairways and greens. A good challenge to all levels of players.
Thanks for your review. We're happy that you had a good round despite some of the grass issues that you mentioned. Thanks for playing and we hope that you'll come back and play again soon.
Good day
The course is in great shape, but the greens are in tough shape. Fairways and tee boxes are perfect. They are working on the greens. You should still play the course! Worth the money for sure.
Thanks! We appreciate your feedback and are happy that you had a great round despite the less than perfect course conditions right now. We hope to see you again soon!
Orange is a Peach
First time playing this course for some reason? Now that we've found it we'l definitely be back again and would recommend it to others. Arnold Palmer did a great job in overseeing the construction of this course. It is challenging yet forgiving and thus fun to play. A number of the greens were showing long hot summer sun damage and a few fairways had rogue grass / weed infestation. This said all had or were being treated and with the cooler weather on the horizon should disappear? This is definitely NOT a walkers course.
Thanks for your review! We're glad to hear that you had a good round and that you enjoyed Arnold Palmer's architecture. Please come back and play again soon!
Lot to be desired
I have been an owner at Oranfge Lake since 1999 and have always enjoyed playing the Legends many time during my week of my time share week. The course has gone down hill the last few years, in need of some major repair.
Thanks for your excellent review! We're working hard on getting our conditions to the best standards and appreciate your patience in the meantime. We're glad you still had a great experience!
The course is a great challenge for all standards of golf
Played off the black tees and found it a great challenge well placed bunkers fairways that are well presented.Overall the course is situated in pleasant surrounds and lends itself for you to have a pleasant day.
Thanks for your review! We're glad that you found our course challenging and that you had a great round. Please come back and play again soon!
Thanks for your review. We're sorry that we couldn't meet expectations and that you found some trouble with our course conditions. We appreciate you sharing with us how we can improve. Thanks for playing and we hope to see you back soon!
