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.

Excellent golfcourse

Nice staff

Excellent course condition

Greens were difficult, fast but fare

The layout is beautiful in a natural surrounding

One minor issue: the flight of three teenagers in front of us was more interested in driving the golfkarton then golf.

I would recommendation this course if you are in the Orlando area.

Outstanding for many years

I tried to play Orange County national crooked cat each time we come down to Florida from Tennessee. I’ve been playing it for about 15 years and have always enjoyed the impeccable conditions and challenging layout.

The Fairways provide

generous landing area in the grains, have some, but not a great deal of slope.

The Cat

Crooked Cat did not disappoint by any means. The course was in great shape overall. The only negative was the fact that they had a junior tournament. Our last 5 holes were incredibly slow due to the kids walking the course in front of us along with the entourage watching them.

If they would have told us we would have played Panther Lake or another course on this date.
