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.

A good track, some very good holes, some very poor

Not a bad course, played off the white tees which meant the course was somewhat shirt, next time would play off back tees. Course was in good condition, only one tee box was poor. Staff efficient rather than friendly in the pro shop, they over stated to check the no of hired clubs in a the golf bag.
Overall I am pleased I played the course. FYI. It is a long way off the 192 at the back of the resort.

Over booked

I arrived on time and was told that GolfNow had over sold its allotment of tee times. This has never happened to me in the two years of using it. I was told that I should contact GolfNow and ask for a refund. All well and good but I had just driven over an hour and wanted to play that course as planed. They said the second option was to Waite and go out 2.25 hrs later. Also no good. They finally found a threesome on the first t box and fit me in. Enjoyed the company of a family from Canada. Great course layout, good but not great greens. Staff saved the day by getting me out. Thank you and I will come back.

Has 5 tees to play from

Had a great discounted price from GolfNow, otherwise it's a bit pricey, considering all the available golf courses in the vicinity. It was a fun golf course, with a fair amount of challenge. If your're looking for a fair average golf course, and can capitalize on the available discounts, it will definitely be a course, I recommend.

Fine course

This is a very well designed, fair course with considerable variety and challenge. It was in good condition. It's really a second shot course which rewards accurate iron play. No complaints other than the speed of play of the four ball in front of us who moved around as if auditioning for a zombie movie - we only came across them late in the round (fortunately) but there was no Marshall to hurry them along. Other than that, a great day out on a fine course.

Nice course with a few hitches.

Will play this course again. Liked the layout. Some of the greens could have been in better shape, but not bad. On the day I played they were short on carts due to various problems. The gps was almost useless due to extreme glare. Could only see the yardage numbers and then not all the time. Will try it again.

Could be a great course.....

The staff in the pro shop was very friendly. However, it stopped there. A moody starter and ranger started our round off with a bad taste in our mouths. The maintence crew was still out on the course at 1030 am, working all over the course causing us to wait on most shots. Also, once they noticed you they didn't care to shut off their equipment. Good track. Lousy greens. Played for 30 bucks.

We paid $21 to play through golfnow, so it was well worth the price. The course was is excellent conditions other than greens were a little slow, but i understand why. If you get the chance, play this course.

Felt the course was in good shape. Nice fairways and greens were soft. A bit slow when putting. Very good service and look forward to playing there, again.

Amazingly Secluded

This golf course is right up my alley. I don't enjoy seeing houses on my rounds. This property is secluded and for the most part you don't have neighboring holes where you have to worry about someone hitting around you. It was a little more crowded than times I have played before but pace of play was still decent. Tees to challenge any player.

Very Nice Resort Course

I love playing this golf course. The only time I can afford to play here is in the summer when golf now has some really great hot tee times. This Arnold Palmer course will not disappoint. From tee to green the course is always in good condition. The layout is challenging but fair. The staff treated us great. Our group had a great time. The only thing I know they need to fix is the in cart GPS system. It does not work half the time and from one cart to another you get different readings. I always take my own and use theirs as a map to see the course layout.. Orange Lake, Please install new GPS in your carts. I know you can afford it.

Nice Course

Check in extremely smooth with reservation through golf now.com. Great price for the course and facilities. Pro Shop a little extreme on pricing. Rained us out, but was fair on giving us a pro rated rain check credit that could be used on another round or towards food or pro shop. Good experience other than the rain, which is no fault of theirs. Well pleased !

This course is fantastic value

We booked this course through Golf Now and we got 18 holes, club hire and a cart for $50! When we arrived we paid in the pro shop and by the time we came out our clubs and cart were sitting waiting for us just beside the 1st tee.

We were paired up with 2 American guys and we had a friendly Europe v USA match.

The course was absolutely beautiful, challenging, lovely greens, and some scenic par 3's with a few small lakes, wish we brought a camera! We even seen a small aligator in the lake beside the green on the back nine!

There is also a great beverage cart that comes round every 30 mins!

I have played golf several times in Orlando, and will definitely return here and recommend to others.

Great Time!

Wife and I enjoyed this course. Great conditions and people. Even after a heavy rain the night before, course drained well enough for cart use. Open fairways were fun; interesting little challenges were also fun. We play Palmer courses in Houston, Texas, and this is another good one.

We'll be back.
