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 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.

Nice round!

The course was in good shape (greens aerated likely 2 weeks ago). Cups needed some attention, that could have been to let the grow in process.. the score card is good, but the views could be more accurate with regard to water hazards, and the direction to shoot for hole 17 green. Worth the trip!

OUR 2ND FAVORITE

We started playing Tuesday the 14th. I was so proud of myself - birdied the 2nd/3rd holes then the storm hit. We got a raincheck and played today - LOVE IT!! We like nice wide open courses and we love Legends. We usually play Reserve but, now we're Legend fans. Great day, not many out - surprising. Kourtney in the Pro Shop is very friendly and great to chat with. We will be going back to Legends. We saw a beautiful fish and a baby alligator!!

Legends

Fun course. Great layout. Greens a bit rough because they aerated the greens about 2 weeks ago, so other than greens, great course.

Great day!! Must play!!

Played the course in 3 hours 15 minutes. Did not encounter anybody else until hole 16. Course is a fun layout. Tee boxes, fairways, traps and greens in awesome shape. Lots of wildlife to be seen. Only complaint is finding the course on property.
