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.

Wow !

Me and my spouse are playing 100 games a year and are 18-23 hcp. We played Panther Lake 2 times last year and found it too much challenging. We were anxious at the idea of playing the sister course but had a good Hot Deal and WOW ! Not as difficult but still challenging. Superb conditions. We wish all the games we play were on courses like this one. Take advantage of the occasional hot deals as expensive to play otherwise. 10/10

Pace much better at Cat

Cat and Panther are nice. On back to back days the Cat was a full 1.5 hrs faster to play, no idea why but that makes a huge difference in your golf experience! Course conditions are good and both are fun to play. I suggest you check reviews and if Panther continues at a glacier like pace, play the Cat,
