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.

Good course at great facility

First time playing the Cat. Very enjoyable round. Good layout and conditions. Found the greens to be a little inconsistent from a speed perspective but that could have been me. A little difficult finding a ball just off the fairway many times. Course is just as good as Panther.

A True Golfing Test

This course is amazing. Everything in great condition - the rough was just that and would often cost you a stroke

The layout really makes you think what club you want to use. The par 3s were a really challenge I was surprised by amount of undulation on the course (FL is flat!) which added to the interest

I will certainly be looking for a good deal to get back here (as normal rates are a little high)

The Cat is Awesome

It is always a pleasure to play at Orange County national. Their staff is on the ball and always treat you right. The facilities are top notch and getting some ice and water in your cart is an added bonus. We played early so the pace was great but they always have Rangers out there moving people along. The layout of both courses are amazing and you can pick which tees provide the best challenge. The greens were in great shape and while there were a few patches that need work on the course, their crews where there adding new sod.

Get there as early as you can as their practice facilities are some of the best in all of Florida.

Keep up the great work.

5 hour

5 hour to play. The front group even left beer and fireball bottles in the tees...no even one Marshall in the entire course....also the fairways and greens don't look the way is used to be.

Stay out of the rough

Course is in great shape. Played from green tees in tough humidity and barely any wind. Greens have fully recovered from aeration and are playing very true. Early tee time and crew was mowing on the front. Rough is penal and can create challenging approach shots.

Hit em straight

The rough in some spots is deep and can be tough to get out of for weekend hackers.

Course in great shape.

Greens still recovering but zero putting issues.

Good but not as good ……

It’s four years since I last played here and whilst I thoroughly enjoyed being back here things weren’t quite as good as I’ve found them in the past. Overall staff brilliant, food excellent, starter and course staff friendly - greens tremendous. One truly annoying thing is we had a four ball in front who really shouldn’t have been on a course this tough. I guess it’s great to be alive and have the chance to play so get down and give OCN a go.

Great layout

So much is unique about this course. Elevation changes (in FL), Plateaued fairways with interesting mounding down the sides, large fast and sloping greens. Seems to play longer than the stated distance, but a fair test. The club house could do more in terms of merchandise and affordable options. A must play course if you are in the area ... also worth the trip if you're not.

Average course, conditions weren’t great

Searched for a course to play local to me whilst on vacation in Orlando, had 7:30 tee off was put with 3 senior players, was obliged to play off white tees with them. Most tee areas were really poor with worn grass. Greens were too sandy, fairways ok. Constantly waiting for group in front so was extremely slow play.

Paid 80 dollars which I thought was excessive for this course.

Wouldn’t play again there.
