Rating 76.0

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.

Fantastic golf course and facility exceeded all expectations.

I usually don’t write reviews ( 2nd review in 10yrs), but had to give this course a five star rating as it exceeded all expectations! Great layout, fantastic facility & conditions, friendliness staff & good vibes for any course that I’ve ever played (100+ ). Looking to now move my guys golf trip to this great set up of 2 legit tracks, biggest practice facility ever seen & sweet accommodations!

Nice Course and Facilities

Well-run operation. Great practice facilities and staff very friendly. Front nine was so-so. Not much varation on holes. Back nine was more interesting with more water, interesting carries and beautiful natural areas. I'm not sure the cost was worth the whole experience though. I would probably play it again if I was with a group.

Pure greens

I played on a foggy day so figuring out where to hit the ball was difficult on some of the holes. Having said that the course was well maintained, the holes were interesting (if not always obvious in the foggy conditions) and perhaps the purest greens I have putted in a long time.

Staff was friendly and accommodating. I prefer it to the other course, but not by a lot.

Don't play Crooked Cat

I played Crooked Cat more than a month ago. However I get a daily email to review the course!! I am afraid I am being charged for golf that I didn't play. So I will continue to put in bad reviews until the emails stop! I gave a positive review right after playing the course but after having conversations with both Golfnow and Orange County National, I still get the annoying emails...... So I will continue to post bad reviews until the emails stop!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Crooked Cat. Tee boxes were in excellent condition, fairways were plush and the greens ran true. We will definitely play this course again.

Windy weather
Used cart

Nice renovation

There was a slight kerfuffle when a group accidentally jumped in front of our foursome, but it was handled quickly and professionally by staff.

The new greens are HARD. So, if the hole location is in the back, play to the front. If it's in the front, play a high ball or you're cooked.

Best Public Course in Orlando?

From Tee to Green, this is the nicest public course in Orlando. If you’re OC resident, utilize that discount and go play it. If you’re deciding between here and Disney or a resort course, play OCN. Crooked Cat is in the best shape right now!

Everything looked better.

A lot of work on all aspects of the course has taken place with most positive results. Sand traps in great shape. New and improved sand. But greens slow but true
