About

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.

did not live up to the hype

played a few days after the LIV tournament. no one told me I would be paying over $100 with sandy punched greens and the fairways were bare. it was a terrible experience.

The starter was a joke

The just played the LIV tour at this course so my expectations were high. The starter was an absolute joke no one out in the course at the 3:00 T time we had and we just played a 2/2 scramble. Got finished in 3 hours but got told to speed up 3 different times and I’m a 5 handicap. Never in my life got told to speed up especially with a scramble. Course was rough too.

Great Day

Crooked Cat is in great shape! The greens were verticut but were still rolling true and fast. In a week or two, it should be perfect! Can’t wait to play this course again. Outside staff were very helpful and friendly as usual. Inside staff and restaurant staff also great! Very well run operation. Would highly recommend.

Course is in Bad Shape

Played Crooked Cat recently and it was in bad condition and no warning when booking. Greens were awful … worst I have seen them there. Pace of play was not good.

Fun but overpriced. Expected it to be in much nicer shape after LIV that was 3 weeks ago.

Best condition in many many years

Even though we weren’t advised ahead time that the greens were punched after the LIV tournament, the greens were still pretty good. Receptive and rolled pretty well considering.

Tee to green was wonderful certainly as a result of hosting the tournament. But more importantly I have seen the number of course maintenance working on the course. They were EVERYWHERE and it showed. Hope they continue with this level of attention to detail.

PLUS the floor and furniture in the 19 th hole room were all brand new.

Looking forward to our next visit

Life after LIV

We played the weekend after the LIV Golf tournament. There was still some infrastructure up for that event. Interesting to see the effort LIV was making to try and present a favourable fan experience. LIV Golf still doesn't appeal to me.

The course was in as good a condition as I can remember, probably because of the recent LIV event. Unfortunately, the greens had just been punched/spiked, but understandable because of how short they had to cut the greens for LIV. Other than the spiked greens, a really enjoyable day. Will be back.

Definitely Worth It

Even though they are hosting LIV next week the course and staff made it worth it. Even being paired with different people made it worth it. I cannot wait to return

Over priced.

For the price and praise from the pro shop, I was expecting a golf course in pristine condition. I've played nicer conditions for alot less money. The cart path only rule which was really not needed, made for a long round. It's a very nice track with some tough 2nd shots to give you a birdie or even par putt. Looking forward to watching the pros play the course and see how much the conditions change in 2 weeks...

Not ready for Professional Event.

Greens are in great shape, rest of course in very poor shape. 2 weeks before LIV and weeds everywhere in fairways, bare spots around greens, to name a few.

Great place for us mere mortals, had higher expectations.

Fantastic but pricey

One of the best courses I've played for a while. Found it difficult from the orange tees especially the par 3s. 1 birdie. Shot 82. Pricey.

Great Course

Course was cart path only due to pending LIV tournament. Knew it coming before reservation set. Staff inside and outside friendly. Had lunch after. Bartenders also friendly and accommodating. Liked the layout. Tough playing new course cart path only.
