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.

legends course

Decent course and very forgiving. Never going to get much roll. Only recommendation is to have Marshalls on the course to ensure slower players allow singles to play through. I played by myself and it took me 3.5 hrs to play only because foursomes wouldn't allow me to play through. Booked through Golfnow for just over $20. Cant beat it for the price.

Legends simply not "Legendary"

After many visits to Orange Lake to play the Reserve course, I finally made the effort to return there specifically to play the top track at this resort: Legends. While the staff was really nice and the conditions were quite good, I found all 18 holes to be less than memorable. Sure, there are plenty of holes that play left to right or right to left with ample water or sand protecting the greens, but this layout does not compare to the likes of so many other fine options in the Orlando Attractions area. Even reading the description of this course on GolfNow made me think back to holes I had played and openly question whether we are talking about the same place. I would go back to play here for a special event or if I were staying at the resort, but I just don't see another reason to do so when quality properties such as OCN, Mystic Dunes, Champions Gate, Reunion and Grand Cypress are all nearby.

Great Value for a Resort Course

We were pleasantly surprised at the course and the price. Many other Orlando courses are in terrible shape or the ones in great shape are very pricey. This course was the best of both worlds, staff was very nice and tee time was on time and 4 hour round. Great experience!

Fun course

One of my favorite courses ! Front 9 wanders through the resort and back nine heads into the woods for a northern style course . Staff is friendly , fairways are wide , greens are challenging . Only reason it didn't get a perfect score was that greens were aireated a week ago so they were slow and not rolling true . Awesome value brought golf now . A must play if your in the area !!

Orange Lake Legends

Great value for this course. Course was fun to play and presented a good challenge. Greens had just been aerated and some areas were under water that wouldn't be normally so that prevented the course from getting a good or excellent rating. Would definitely play again and recommend to friends!

Great course

Great course for the price, greens were being aerated but even then it was a pleasure to play. Really enjoyed the quotes on the tee boxes and the fairways were in great shape. Definitely will be coming back.

golf and lunch deal

booked tee time on line at a discounted $$$. Had a 821am tee time and were kinda short staffed at that time. .... but all went well. Nice course layout and all staff was friendly. All greens were undergoing servicing and we had to adjust ourselves to that fact.

Very nice layout!

Course was in great shape! Would recommend this course definitely! Nice layout with some tough holes. However, might think twice about eating at the legacy bar and grill... Took almost an hour and a half to eat lunch after our round! Food was good, but took way too long and the order wasn't correct.

Nice established Arnie Course

Course had solid challenges and was pleasant to the eye. Only issue day I played was undissolved fertilizer granules had been spread all over all the greens except 1. This made choosing a line a best guess.
