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.

super course

This was the cheapest round of golf during my FL golf break in November 2014, and by far and away the best. Really nice layout some challenging holes, and difficult greens, buggies are a must as there is quite some distance between some of the holes, only minor gripe was that the cart GPS was a bit hit and miss, played with two really nice Canadian fella's (father and son)

Conditions Better Than Previous Years

Play this course every year in Nov and have seen go from great conditions 5 years ago and then decline to just OK. This year we experienced much improved fairways conditions and the greens were in better shape, hopefully this will continue. Overall, the course has a great layout with water and large waste areas to contend with, which challenges all your golf skills.

Course nice, but pace of play was not good.

This course was in good condition and a fun course to play, but the pace of play was terrible. We teed off at 3:15, but only got 12 holes in before dark at 5:45. I was hoping for at least 16 holes. Other then that, no complaints.

Great course to play, the back nine are more challenging

It was a challenging course but worth the price. The course was in great condition. The greens are very fast and take some time to get used to.

It was a good deal...

Although the course had a fair amount of water & sand, overall I thought it was pretty forgiving and wide open. I thought it was a good deal through golfnow.com, but would probably view it as slightly overpriced if I hadn't had the deal. There were two of us, and we ended up voluntarily pairing with another twosome on the first hole. By the back nine we were waiting on every hole. I'm sure that was due in part to it being a Sunday. We had a good time - which is really what playing golf is all about.

Nice course with consistent greens, including some slippery downhill puts.

Tough but Playable

Course conditions are the best I have seen over the last five years or so of playing here. The greens were of average speed, but easy to 3 jack if not careful. Pin positions were decent for a resort course. Played in the early afternoon and it was like having a private golf course, with hardly anyone else playing! Well stocked proshop and decent food and beverage available. Love the GPS system on the carts. Staff attentive from the bag drop area to the proshop and back to the bag drop area when finished. Clubs were cleaned and put in vehicle for us. Beverage/snack cart out on course in spite of little play.
Bottom line, a fun course to play at GolfNow prices, but not so much at rack rates!

Great layout

First time I have played the Legends and it was a super fun layout and design. Generous fairways but solid 2nd shots required. Overall condition of greens and fairways was above average. Would recommend the course as a solid option while in the Orlando area.

Great resort course...

Played a couple loops out there during the week, really enjoyed the course. Scored it very well, putted out of my mind...which certainly helped the scoring. Good mix of holes, lengths, looks and would love to see it at it's peak condition...but very much enjoyed the rounds.

It was surprisingly well playable after the September wet period…

I like this course very much and was a bit afraid if it would not be to wet after the rainy September. But although in some water hazards (and in some bunkers) there was more water than usually, the course was very good. Good pace of play even though it was pretty crowded.
Overall this is one of the courses to go when ever in Orlando!
