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.

A Public Course with a Private Feel.

Your individual experience will be based on the tee box you select. Playbthe orange tee if you are a scratch and the green tees if you are a single digit handicapper. But don't worry there are white tee for high handicappers or if you are 65+. However if you still hit your driver 300+ yards the black tees at the tips are for you.

Crooked Cat requires you to think your way around the course. The greens all have their individual character. Simply hitting the ball to the center of the green will not get the job done. You have to make sure you put the ball on the proper level of the green otherwise 3 putts are definitely in play..

New Orlando Area Favorite!

Visit the area every summer and enjoy trying new courses. Finally tried OCN and loved it , my new favorite. The greens were punched recently, but I knew that going in. Loved the course and layout. Great clubhouse and friendly staff. Will make this an annual stop.

Excellent greens

Wonderful shape of fairways and greens. They play professional tournaments here like the Korn Ferry. Beautiful smooth greens and challenging layout. I would highly recommend this course.

Always a treat for great golf experience

Always love playing OCN. Crooked Cat was in fine shape even though the greens had been recently punched. Although they looked bumpy the rolled well and I only had 26 putts. The ball sat up nicely in the fairway. Some of the rough was a bit long but hey it’s the rough. The cart attendants and the starter were exceptionally friendly. Look forward to playing this fine layout again,

Great experience all in all. Course is lovely. Layout is challenging, and there’s a good crew working there. Rangers work hard to keep a good pace for everyone. Definitely will be coming back

Local Favorite

OCN is always a good day out. Course is in good shape - greens not at their greatest, summer maintenance n all. Fairways are overall good, we noticed some tough grass roots growing in some. 2nd round here in as many weeks and both times the golf cart was struggling for power. Absolutely lucked out for a Friday with not a soul in sight ahead of us. 2-ball finished in 3:20!
