The Reserve at Orange Lake Resort

First time playing this course and for the money it was grea. Lots of nature around the fairways including a water moccasins next to the tee at Hole 14.

Your trip to this location will benefit if you schedule time to play both the Reserve and Legends. Both are worthwhile with a nod to Legends being a bit dialed up. Reserve benefits from more water (if you call that a benefit) since our round was complimented by sighting of no less then 3 alligators! Was told there was around 60 on the property. Don't go after balls in the water! Greens were in good shape. Wind was a bit fierce this particular day but my score was on target.

To be honest the condition of the course was excellent. However, I had the impression that the pro shop was in a rest area on I95 highway !! There is a small counter with some balls(bullets), some gloves!! There is several beautiful holes, greens were very beautiful speed between 8 and 9. Sometimes, condos is far too close. There is no marshal on the course. I had a group behind me which played the speedy golf!!! He(it) always waited after us because we also waited. The twosome wanted to play quickly in approximately 10 12 shots per holes?? * () $ / "!! We played the first one 9 within two hours...but very good condition and good course for intermediate players

Beautiful course with lots of challenges. Water comes into play on many of the holes as well as bunkers. Greens and fairways in very good condition. So much wildlife to see, turtles, alligators, cranes, ducks, etc.

I have played this course several times now, I can't wait to play again.

Tees, fairways, bunkers, and greens were in very good condition. Pace of play was good.

Played four first time and was pleasantly surprised - this course is great value. Fairways and greens in excellent condition and lots of water on more than half of the holes to provide plenty of challenge.

Although this is the first time we've played this course we have stayed at Orange Lake several times in the past for vacations and all the facilities are top notch.

This is definitely a course that you want to use a cart for as there is quite a distance getting to and from the course from the pro shop and there are long distances between a few holes.

The course has a very comfortable layout to it with a couple holes having a hidden water hazard near the green. The fairways were in excellent shape as were the greens. The greens ran very true and were of varying sizes.

Make sure to keep it in the fairway as best you can because the "grass" in the back yards of the condos is very tough to hit out of, that's assuming that you find your ball in it.

Holes 4 & 5 are very picturesque as they go around a very large swampland. Keep an eye out for gators in here. We saw a couple.

I was quite impressed with the course! Many of the courses that are rated more highly are usually a disappointment. This one was one of the few exceptions. There were a few rough areas but I think that this is to be expected. Interesting layout and lot of variety from one hole to another. I'd definitely play it again.

Reasonable course but properties very close on most holes.

wellmaintain
nice layout green a bit slow
good price

Greens could be faster. I'd say they rolled an 8.5 tops. The pro shop is more like a race Trac gas station full of coffee, nick nacks, and items for purchase like at a conscience store.

The only disappointing factor for orange lake in general is the golf course staff give the impression they only want your money . They rush at you to wipe your clubs and then carry them a few steps to stack them.
If you unload your cart yourself they ignore you
On three occasions the carts ran out of juice before we completed the round and with assistance from the cart with us we made it back
Golf staff state gee that's because the carts are old and you should have ask for a replacement .
No concern as to how our round went and no apology
Unlike other courses where the staff cannot wait to be friendly and helpful

a good value for the money.
great for the moderate skill golfer.
course in good shape for this time of year

Nice layout with many scenic views of marshland, lakes and wild birds. Condos line several fairways close to fairways so errant shots may be on porches or in back yards. Rolling greens in good condition at average rolling speed.

Orange Lake Resort has two 18-hole courses.,Legends and Reserve. The Reserve course more resembles a municipal course. No GPS in the carts and minimal frills from the staff. The course is nice. Not overly challenging, aside from a few water holes. The day I played, many of the back tees were moved forward, so the course was made that much easier. The greens were slower than expected.

A great test of golf with some wonderful challenging holes. Don't be put off by the length as this course requires all the clubs in you bag

A Testing and interesting course in good condition .
Greens are slick and have some tricky reads .Some good shots needed on the 4th a par five,drive on 7 ,approach on 10 and 13 .The approach over water on 16 is frightening !However the best is the par 3 5th from the back tee all over water to a lovely green
My recommendation is to play the Reserve when you have the chance .

Played Orange County Reserve course on a recent vacation to Florida from PA. Not knowing anything
about the course, I have to say I was glad I chose
to play here. As a 8 handicap, it provides some
difficulty but very fair. Views are very nice and the
conditions were good. Only negative would be the
closeness to the housing development on a few holes.
I must also say, I hope you get paired with gentlemen as nice as the guys I played with + Charlie :>
If I were you, I would Reserve a tee time and find out
for yourself.

Lots of fun, diverse holes, very old Florida features; water, sand, wetlands

Enjoyable course. Conditions were excellent . Good mix of short and long holes
