The Crooked Cat Course is one of two 18-hole regulation courses at the Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge. The facility is also home to a nine-hole executive course. The Crooked Cat Course is a challenge with dramatic elevation changes and rolling fairways that are framed with mounding. The golf course has a links-style design with large, contoured greens and wide landing areas. Water hazards and several bunkers come into play throughout. There are also trees and native heather present on the course for a naturally beautiful atmosphere. Orange County National's Crooked Cat Course is favored among low handicappers due to its length and difficulty.

Nice track

The front side is clearly a little harder than the back 9 on this track. The overseeding during the offseason truly made this course look its best. Unfortunately, we were stuck behind a slow foursome which resulted in our round being just over 5hrs. The group was warned 4 times by the marshal (they had a 2 hole gap); however, that didn't appear to have any effect. If I had played this track under normal conditions I believe my experience would have been better.

Great Course

This is one of the best courses I have ever played. You can see why there have been lots of big tournaments on this course. Great layout, tough but fair. My wife also enjoyed it. Greens rolled true and were fairly quick. Great practice facility. Strongly recommend.

Good stuff!

Course was in great shape. It was fun to play the course after seeing it with LIV Golf in 2023. Highly recommend. The only negative was the Pace of Play - really slow Front 9, a little faster on the Back 9 - not sure if it was just some slow groups ahead of us or if Pace of Play is always an issue here, but it didn’t impact our enjoyment of the course or the day.
