About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 71
Length 6505 yards
Slope 137
Rating 71.8

There are two 18-hole championship courses and two nine-hole courses at Orange Lake Resort & Country Club. The Reserve is the newer of the championship golf courses although technically it could be considered the older of the two. Originally designed in 1982 by Joe Lee, 16 years before the Arnold Palmer-designed Legends was added, the course was completely redesigned in 2005. New water features and more sand were added and seven holes were rerouted and redesigned. One hole that was made more challenging was the fifth hole. A long par 4 was transformed into a long par 3 that plays to almost 215 yards. In addition to the four golf courses, Orange Lake also boasts a lighted driving range and putting green as well as two chipping greens, one which features a sand bunker.

Very Good Course

Nice course with moderately challenging layout. Not pristine fairway conditions, but better than average. Some tight fairways, but most are fairly open. Several water hazards, but none too difficult.

Great value and fun

Played with my wife and completed in 3:45h with the front nine slower than the back.

Staff were friendly and helpful and no problems paying with credit card.

Tee boxes & fairways were in reasonable condition, with greens slighter quicker than my home course and the three puts were down to my lack of skill rather than the greens.

There is better out there, but this course does offer great value.

Overall a fun round and will certainly return.

Enjoyable with nice layout

After playing some of the other courses in the area, I really didn't know what to expect in over-seeding season.

Course is well maintained but traps seem to need a little work. Nice layout with a number of hazards.

Course is credit card only and online rates are best

Disappointing Conditions

Played at 12:15 with my wife and followed a couple other 2-balls. Pace was excellent, finished in under 3-1/2 hours. However, I was very disappointed by course condition. There is a golf academy on-site with 4 courses and I expected better. The rack rate was $65 but got a deal through GolfNow at $25. Even $25 was a bit overpriced based on comparative courses elsewhere locally. Greens were sandy and had repairs throughout -- so often you had to putt across repairs or dead areas. The fairways were dry and very sparse grass, so often you were hitting off bare patches. Back nine was in better condition than front, so the day started out poorly. By end of third hole, I had lowered any expectations significantly. Pity the course has been allowed to deteriorate so badly, since the layout had great potential. Couple nice water holes. A bit tight in places with buildings, but not too intimidating.

Always on my list to play when I visit from Canada. Many great holes that can bite you if you don't pay attention. Cart staff/starter top notch. Course was just coming out of being closed for a week due to over seeding so it was not in the best of conditions, greens being rough, still was a good day. Will return on my next visit.

Keep hoping but always disappointed

Everytime I play this course I keep hoping that that the greens are not overseeded that the course isn't overly soggy and that hopefully this will be the day that the course is in good shape but after 5 tries I'm hanging up my hat figuring this is the way it always is. Too bad because I really like the layout & you always see abundant wildlife staff is always friendly & nice.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us. I'm sorry to hear about your experience. We are constantly striving to improve the conditions of the course. After reading your review, I inquired about when the course was overseeded and was informed that the overseeding happened the first week of November and was watered a lot to keep the seed moist to promote germination. You did mention you came out five different times though so I'm not sure if this was the issue.

Get organized

The course was very spongee....I think due to the over seeding of the fairways. The worst part of the Golf experience was the cart guys. 3 guys and each one doing their own thing. We got our score card and course layout cards after our round of golf. Good to thing our playing partners had a score card he pick up on his own. The yardage markers on the tee were generally 20 yards off from our sky caddie and S2 Garmin GPS.

shamelful

I am an owner here at Orange Lake and have been for 25 years. This use to be a beautiful golf course but in the last few years it has severely declined in its condition. crab grass on greens; huge bare spots on greens. My villa is on the course and have not seen the traps get raked in 4 days; when it used to happen every morning. I went through 4 jugs of divot repair mix and could have used a thousand more. I really hope Orange lake takes back control of their courses before it is too late. I would be embarrassed to have my guess pay to play this course in its current condition.

Holiday Inn Club Vacations should be ashamed !!!

Played all 3 courses at Orange Lakes between 10/15 and 10/17/2016. If I were the owners of this course I would be ashamed at the condition. Greens were full of craters, weeds and burnouts, the fairways were full of the same types of weeds and were primarily brown, and the tee boxes were beat up. There was no lushness anywhere on the course and someone should be FIRED!!!! I would not play here again!

Nice course and good value for money

A nice course which although not over long still had its challenges for most players.

Rental clubs while well used were still in reasonable condition and not too costly.

Will definitely return to play again on my next visit to Orlando

Good Layout

Played this course after playing the Arnold Palmer design on property. The Legends was very open and forgiving, the Reserve requires more strategic decision making and much more accurate shot making. Many of the holes are lined with houses (resort properties) on both sides of the fairway so it will be helpful to hit it straight. Several greens are protected by water--many were wide but not very deep. If you go long on your approach shot, plan to drop one as it will be wet. I found it challenging but played a good round. I loved this course and am trying to rearrange the vacation schedule to give it another go. I highly recommend this course if you're looking for a challenging and enjoyable round
