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.

Great Layout

Nice track - needs a lot of water and TLC - greens were great and some of the bunkers had new sand which was much nicer than the old sand. Overall it’s a good track, just needs a lot of water and fertilizer.

Great course! Little $$$

Everything about the course was great, conditions, staff friendliness, pace of play, layout was good but for the late price not super visually stunning to look at. 100% if you can get a deal or a replay rate go play it, I wouldn't pay full price for it, but I also can't imagine paying that much to play anywhere so take it with a grain of salt.

Good course

We had a 3 pm tee time so knew it was going to cut it fine for finishing as sunset was 615 .. but as a two ball we thought we be good. When we got to the tee for 3 but there was a 4 ball teeing off in our time slot and they wouldn’t let us play through. Ended up missing the last two holes …

Course was in good condition and everything else was great!

Not for the $$$

Staff wasn’t great. I dropped my wife and bags at bag drop. By the time i parked and walked back she wa still waiting there. Inside pro shop more of the same. Struggled to get staff to help. Assuming they take care of members or regulars. However it doesn’t make for a great first experience.

Course was good, sand soft and playable. The issue was the carts and the greens. The greens were so slow, it made it hard to pace a shot.

The carts geo-fencing was wacky. Over a 100 yards away from green and it’s slowing us down, making you go in reverse even though you are heading to the cart path 🤦🏼‍♂️. It was frustrating to say the least.

If you can get it under $100 play it. If you are paying their normal price i think it’s too much for the course.

Not customer friendly

Show up pay us Be thankful you got to play here is their poor attitude. Not friendly they might as well fire the staff and hire robots. . Aweful. It all about them and not your golf experience. Obiously coperate no personality. No thanks for coming. Herres our place or how can we help you.

Cant reach them on phone. No practice balls. Just pay here and go to the starter. Will fail miserably in the long run.

Dont play here please boycott them for their impersonal coproerate service it shows in every employee. Just aweful.

Great Course

Crooked Cat is in the best condition I’ve ever seen it. From tee to green, everything is lush. Love the dormant rough look. This would literally be the best place to play in town if it wasn’t for the super annoying GPS. I would prefer to walk the entire course than to have my cart slow down suddenly once I’m inside 100 yards from the green on EVERY hole. Come on guys, can you please tone down the “restricted areas” on the GPS. I’m all for safety and protecting the greens and everything around it, but this is ridiculous.

not what used to be

Iv played many times over the years at crooked cat and charging the rates they are it’s not worth it course was tidy but no where close to a $200 dollar course and there buggy policy is a money grabbing greedy way to go one when I first played course over 10 years ago you got a lot for your money now they charge double and give you nothing for it Id avoid it till it’s 50-60 dollar range
