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.

Terrible Pace of play

We were put out behind an international amateur tournament. Because of the slow play the day before we were told to start on # 10, we played 10 and 11 in 20 minutes when we got to 12 there were two foursomes waiting to tee off one foursome on the tee box one in the fairway and one on the green. After an hour and fifteen minutes we finished 12 and some of thirteen. We quit in frustration. There was no marshaling play was tortuously slow. We went to the pro shop and spoke to the manager. He said to contact Golfnow and he would authorize a refund. We have attempted this several times golf now said no one answers at the golf shop. We called several times the call are as frustrating as the extremely slow play at the course. To clarify it took 20 minutes to finish two holes and an hour and 15 minutes to play one and a half holes. Unacceptable

Crooked Cat OCN review

Course is long, tough, and in decent shape. Seemed they overseed fairways but not rough. Greens were good not great. Not a ton of water to drink on the course or lose a ball in. Cart girl did not come around quick. Glizzy at the turn was worse than mid. Clubhouse/proshop needs to be redone so bad. Two great courses and a 9 hole track well priced just needs to invest in the non golf aspects of the business.

Great Course

Played Crooked Cat today and walked away very very impressed with both the course layout and the course conditions. The layout is awesome. It’s fairly wide open. The fairways are lined mainly by bunkers and trees that are spaced fairly well apart so there is a good chance for a recovery. The greens are pretty big and rolled smooth and at a good pace. Not as much break in them as you think there is. Also, especially for a Florida course there is ALOT of elevation change. Several holes that play pretty steeply up or down hill.

The course is also in great shape. Greens. Fairways and tees all in really really good condition. All in all it was an awesome round on a great course. And I highly recommend it.

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,
