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.

Not worth the price

I’ve played OCN many many times over the last 12 years. This is by far the worst condition I’ve ever seen it in. And still $90. Ridiculous. If I was the GM I’d be embarrassed.

Cow Pasture and Overpriced

I cannot figure out what this course of trying to be…high end or muni? Played crooked cat this weekend. Was like a wide open cow pasture and plenty of burnt out grass patches. Fairway turf was rock hard and not much grass (hitting off dirt) on many holes. Definitely not worth the price or hype. Anyone who gives great review must work there. Also no breakfast offered in bar area (said they were closed) just tasteless sandwiches with sausage and egg in pro shop sitting under a heat lamp. Needless to say I will not be back even if green fees were $45 which would be about right. I will say starter, bev cart girl and bag guys were all very nice.

Needed to work on keeping the course in better shape after having the LIV play on it. Make that a premium course that is championship ready. Good layout. The course is maturing into a great track. Keep the bar open past 6PM on a Saturday! Too many golfers out there!!

Great shape, fast greens!

Great shape and fast greens. Pace of play was okay.. The two issues I had was the restaurant was closed for a private party. We always head in there after a round. They should say that when you check in or in the GPS announcements. Which by the way, had more advertisements than what I have ever seen at a course. Before seeing your shot, you had to click out of an advertisement. I understand monetizing your equipment, but it was annoying.

Tough test, good course.

First time playing. Greens were still recovering from being punched. Fairways were good, tee boxes good, some had excessive divots/dirt. Rough was long, sticky and wet,

Lots of elevation for a Florida course. Very tough test of golf. Seemed like every hole had a front center bunker in front of green. If it’s your first time go one set even more forward than you were thinking.

Round was 4.5hrs, we waited on a few tee times but not too bad. I’ll be back,

Crooked Cat

This is my home course. They recently aerated the greens so they weren’t the smoothest. But that’s ok, to be expected. Areas they can improve upon-1) put sand boxes on the par three teeing areas to refill divots. 2) provide more sand on the carts to fill divots. One bottle is not enough. 3) get a water filtration system there. It’s well water and the ice and water that comes from the fountains all smell horrible. Although, they do carry Modeo beer on the cart now so that’s a nice addition.

Great Track but…

The course is still recovering from aerification - the whole course. Greens are a bit choppy and slow but should be great in about 3 weeks I’d say. One of my favorite tracks in the area.

Great layout

I don't know. CC is a great course and nice design and all that, but I expected better. I got on a $56 hot deal so I shouldn't complain. I certainly wouldn't pay $99 to play. Black Bear, CC of Mount Dora, Ventura and Dubsdread are in much better condition and half that price. Greens had been aerated but they use the crosscut method which allows for truer putts. Bunkers were nice and well manicured. It's a fairly easy course. No real trouble anywhere so it does cater to tourists. Starter was awesome. Gave very helpful tips. Pace of play was so so (group in front were brutal and have no idea what ready golf means) and I guess there are no marshalls after 3pm. Impressive clubhouse and beer cart came around often. Very good beer prices.
