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

As advertised this course is challenging. But, if you hit it straight you can shoot a good score. I didnt accomplish either of those 2 things. Hopefully you'll have better luck.

Awesome

Great Job on design and maintaining the course. The drainage during the rain is impressive. Dumped with full on storm and it drained right away with cart path only. Whats more impressive an hour later they allowed us to drive on the course. No pools, no swamps, no soft areas, greens were on point. Awesome.

Fun and be on you’re game

Keep in mind before you play Crooked Cat, this is a a Q School course. It’s not meant for you and your buddies to have some drinks and mess around on an Orlando resort course. It’s meant to see how good you are. It’s always maintained well and you have to hit your shots. With that said, it’s always challenging and always fun.

Great Deal , Great Course!

Always a tuff round at the Cat! Enjoy the course more each time. Greens were sandy, it Florida in summer. 18 holes $70 with free lunch. One of my favorite places to test the game. Orange tees were plenty! Great layout!

Slow play

No relief as a two-ball playing behind two slow-playing 4-ball groups. No ranger activity on the course. Otherwise, enjoyable, taking 4+ hours.

Starter notice we were a 2 some and a foursome was on the first tee with 4 open Holes in front of them.

He escorted us to the first tee and informed the 4, we were playing through. They never saw us again. We played 18 in 3 hours. That’s how it’s done.

Outstanding

Played this course while on vacation and I couldn’t have asked for a better course!! Every part of the experience was great from the range , to the carts being more luxurious than my car. The carts have GPS and have areas where it will shut off if you enter those boundaries. If you are looking for a course where you want to really see how your golf game compares this is the course.

Pace of play slow!

Course was almost perfect the first time I played it. I was surprised at the dirt spots on the course in the rough. Fairways were great; and the tee boxes were not the best. Greens were fine. They still had scarring from being punched. The greens rolled fine. Pace of play was excruciating at times. We actually caught the group in front of us in a tee box and they would not let us through. There was not a group holding them up. I watched a guy walk off steps to putt. Ranger spoke to them; but it was still slow. I would definitely recommend the course; but hopefully you want get out behind slow play.
