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.

Good last out

I have always enjoyed playing this course. It's fun challenging but doesn't best you up. Our pace of play was great being one of the first groups out so no problem there.

We really like this course

Now that it's so hot out it's easy to get a tee time and not be rushed to play. We really enjoy this course. And we saw the carp again on hole15(?)

Good Course, In OK Shape

This was my first time playing here and I wasn't shocked by it, but it is "off season" right now so the course wasn't in peak conditions. In peak season, I think this course could be a great course. However, at the turn they don't have a grill or bar and the pro shop doesn't accept CASH. They did have a cart out that had some food and drinks and we saw her a good amount, but it wasn't that busy. All in all not a bad course and ill probably play again at some point.

Great Course

The course was in excellent condition. The starter was so kind and welcoming. It got the day off to a nice start even with weather lurking. This has always been one of my favorite courses and it did not disappoint. Great service on the course with frequent visits from the snack and beverage cart. We ran into the starter on the course as he doubled as a ranger. Starters, rangers, and on course beverage carts are a lost art these days! Great day and we will be back.

Great course!

I have played this course several times, and this was the best yet. The conditions of the course are fantastic! The greens keeping crew has done a phenomenal job! The course layout is tricky but fair - allows you to open up your driver but also requires precision shots with your irons.

Gotta know where to place your shots

They just sanded not too long ago but they still rolled ok. Pitches landed really soft and chips skipped some due to the sand but what are you going to do. Check in was a breeze, cart guy asked us for our receipt, said we didn’t get one, he said you a golf-nower we said yes, he said get outta here. Now I know there was no malice and he was kidding but even that made us feel unwanted. Look if you don’t want golf now people out there don’t agree to post tee times. Everyone else was great, everyone else meaning the cart girl. We were paired up with a single and cruised along nicely. Conditions were good lots of water and sand. We enjoyed ourselves and will come back at some point and will recommend.

NICE LAYOUT

First time playing this course and really enjoyed the wide open layout. Every hole had its own challenges for shot placements. Nevertheless, a nice round. Will come back !!

A Local's Review

As a local, I can tell you that this is a really good track for the price point in the area. Legends is a terrific layout with lots of challenges, and some pretty stiff penalties for misplayed shots. There are definitely a couple of holes where it helps to know some secrets (#4, #8, #16, #17) that the course only yields on multiple playings. Still, you can score here. I'm roughly a 10 handicap and I've shot everywhere from 79-96 here. I think that's terrific.

There are some negatives: It can play like a resort course, but without the resort course amenities. That is, play can be slow (not on this day), and so can the greens. Usually this comes with the tradeoff of excellent service, but I have found the staff to be a little chilly. That said, the starter and the cart server were both friendly and the cart server made a lot of appearances.

In short, you can play more luxurious golf in Orlando (and you will pay for it), but in the $50-$70 price range, this is a fun place to play.
