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.

Crooked Cat

I’m handicap 3.0. I like challenge myself at nice difficult courses. Played first time at Crooked Cat and love it !!.

Great facility, great course!

Wide open, links style. Rolling fairways, some elevation makes it unique for Florida.love the greens, they are pretty fast with nice slopes!!

Lots of bunkers with soft white sand.

Pace of play really slow!! Need Marshall !!

But course is Top Notch !! PGA level. Cant wait to play it again. Locals told me to try Panthers Lake, the second course at Orange County National and expect even better more manicured course!!

Way too slow

I like the OCN courses a lot, but the co dictions this time were average and the pace of play was atrocious. On the greens were different patches of grass that would throw putts offline, and all the greens were pockmarked with unrepaired pitch marks. Maybe worse, were the collars. They had small, uneven tufts of unknown grass that would catch your putter in the backswing.

Finally, and most importantly, was the pacing. It took us 5.5 hours. There are rounds on tour played faster. We don’t see a martial all day. There would be times when we finished a hole and could see 3 groups stacked up on the next hole. Waiting for every shot makes the game suck. They need to have more control. Send a martial out and make a group skip a hole or catch up.

Unfriendly

We were 5 minutes over time and the ranger came during 5 holes to us to tell us if we not speed up we have to skip a hole.

We speeded up, only to find us waiting on every hole after the flight before us.

What a waste of time and money.

Worst attitude ever

A great day/

Crooked Cat was a very scenic course. Tha fairways were in good shape but the greens had been sanded the morning of our play, it would of been nice if someone would of told us this. Not much break on the greens, when reading a break it never broke probably because of the sand.

Great Choice!

Course was in great shape. Staff, especially Marshall on crooked cat, were very friendly. Practice facilities pre-round were great. Paid $10 for a medium bucket and hit chips to a couple of greens and nice large putting green as well. Carts are GPS equipped. Fun layout. Would definitely play again.
