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.

Beautiful

This course was amazing. The practice facilities were amazing. Regular price of $129 is absolutely worth it! Everything about it was beautiful, except for me being in nearly every single bunker!

Memorable Round

First impressions very favorable, practice facilities were outstanding. Tee boxes and fairways were in amazing shape, greens were true and challenging. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our round. Our most memorable of 5 rounds we played during the week. Spectacular. Will return.

Crooked Cat — challenging, fun and great conditions

My experience was great. We teed off in some fog, which lifted after a couple holes, and the beauty of the course and enjoyment of our round was able to take off from there. Fun place to play with great staff. Course was in great shape from tee boxes to fairways to greens. The back nine of Crooked Cat really has some teeth — as the starter told me, make sure to score well on the front nine!

Excellent course

I enjoy playing at this course and great condition. Very friendly staff sometime the courses get very busy and that makes the game slow, but it’s OK for me.

Overseeded and Great!

Both of the OCN courses are always in great shape. They always look great in the winter months because of the overseeding that is done this time of year. Course is in great shape, greens are a bit slow due to the overseeding.

Great Course.

Even in a light rain course played true. Any trip to Orlando would not be complete without playing one of these tracks.

Amazing Layout and Quality

Crooked Cat at Orange County National was awesome. My buddies and I booked it two days out on a Hot Deal for $60 and we felt like it was a steal of a deal. Tee boxes were all in solid condition, fairways were great and the green rolled true despite a bit of an issue with others not cleaning up their ball marks. Pace of play was fantastic for us as a foursome until we ran into a slower group on the back that we got held up behind for a while, but if it was any ordinary group in front of us, there never would have been an issue. One thing to take note of this course, this course may seem a bit easier due to the nature of it being a links course, but was by no means an easy course. It plays pretty long, if you miss the fairways you are in for some trouble, and some of these greens are a force to be reckoned with. I wouldn't say it was a hard course by any means, but it definitely can present some challenges.

Side note: the practice facilities are massive and absolutely amazing for the course being public.

We wished the cart girl had showed up a bit earlier in our round, as we didn't run into her until we reached the 9th hole. Also we were a bit bummed by the clubhouse being closed at 6 as we wanted to eat dinner there before heading home.

All in all, we had a fantastic experience and will for sure be back again!

Slow Slow Play

Normally one of my favourite courses in the area. I brought out 3 friends who had never played the course & they hated it due to slow play. We had to call the clubhouse on the # 7 tee cuz we had been out on the course for over 2 hours. The guys had rental clubs & were playing the Orange tees which were way too long for them. Marshall showed up but didn't change anything. Not too much fun for us or the guys behind us. We were tortured for 5 3/4 hours!!! Probably not going back.
