Length 7072 yards

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.

Should be on your list to play in Central Florida

Weather had been just awful - tee times delayed, carts restricted. But enjoyed the day - you need to play this course - multiple tee boxes to match your skills. At times it does play slow so don't count on making a plane or dinner reservation.

Beautiful course

The greens were a bit slow, but the course is beautifully designed and the welcome is very good. Tees to suit all handicaps and use of water and sand makes this a must course if you're in the area.

Great course to play

Went as a 2-ball. Staff let us start on 1st by request - 10th had been used due to a booking by a competition. As a consequence, we had a pretty clear run in 2hrs 45mins. Condition of course great, very helpful and friendly staff.
Due to loads of rain, course played long - no run - but had drained impressively well. No puddles or extra water on the course.
Marvellous having GPS in all carts.

Outstanding Course

This has to be one of the best courses in the Orlando area. Booked a hot deal and wow the value we received. The course was very challenging today because of the pin placements. The pins seemed to be just on the other side of the water, bunker, or retaining wall. The 90 degree rule was awesome as most Orlando courses were cart path only.

poor conditions

the greens were in terrible shape. There was so much sand on them that you couldn't putt.
the people inside at the restaurant were indifferent. Didn't seem to care. Ordered coke and after ten minutes received diet coke.

The course is one of my favorites. They had just sanded the greens and were hard to put. Other than that the course was great. LO

Good course for a round of golf

This is a nice course located near the theme park. Great for a morning round. The course in very good condition and the staff is very friendly. Allow yourself for a little extra time playing here. This course is close to the attractions and a lot of golfer who are visiting play here. But overall the course is great. Enjoy!.

legends

Legends is a good challenge for all with 5 tee placements for all grades of players.
Fair amount of water on the course but mainly on a risk and reward basis so you can lay up or play round the edges.
Some wildlife to see so take a camera, not guaranteed but three-legged croc in the middle of the 7th fairway was something not to miss, plus hawks and other birds around the lakes.
Well worth a go if the green-fees fit your budget.

Easier than expected.

From previous reviews I was expecting a very challenging course with much difficulty. I was playing well that day but did not get in trouble all day, fairways were generous and greens receptive. Overall condition of the course was just OK, very playable but could use some TLC to fix weeds throughout the course including some on greens. The fairways and greens were in good shape (less weeds) considering the regular temps in the 90's.
