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.

The course was awesome. Crooked Cat was a fun and playable course played from the orange tees. Greens were receptive and rolled very smooth. Tough to lose a ball on the occasional miss hit or fade on a drive.

Pace of Play Gremlins Return

Still a must play location for Central Florida. Course is in great shape. Pace of play continues to be an issue here though.

The day we played, they had a shotgun tournament in the morning, which started late and moved at a woeful pace. Overall poor management on the part of the course. After starting 15 minutes late, the pace issues continued. Every tee box had at least 1 group on it, sometimes 2. It took us calling the proshop after 5 holes before a ranger was put out!! After a 3 hour front 9, we packed it in!

Great greens

Nice course in good condition. Greens were fun! The pace was very slow on the front but came back to normal on the back. Kudos to the ranger!

Course is in amazing shape

As always, course is in amazing shape from top to bottom. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were all perfect. Only complaint was the pace of play. A group arrived 20 minutes late and were still able to tee off causing some serious delay on the first hole. A standard needs to be added for groups that are late, maybe for them in if there’s an available time slot. Ended up just playing the front 9 twice since we were one of the last groups to tee off.

Great day.

The only reason the course got a 4 out of 5 was die to them overseeding the fairways. I know why. It just slowed the ball a bit is all. Greens were great.
