The Reserve at Orange Lake Resort

The course could easily play difficult for a high handicapper but nicely rewards straight shots! Greens rolled very true and where receptive! I would recommend this course for anyone who asked and will be back to play it again soon.

Had a great time even with the aeration! Very nice course and one of the tighter resort style courses (requiring accurate shots) in the area.

Nice course, very challenging, landscraped nice.
If you love a challenge, then this is one course you should play..
My husband and I played this course, we enjoyed it, did have some very challenging holes, we would play it again if the price was right.

The course is set in a wildlife reserve. As your playing you get to see natures beauty with every swing. We saw cranes, ducks, and even an alligator on the first tee! :) The course it's self is fairly open with a few tight spots. It is a shot makers course. If you can fire them in close, then you have a great shot at scoring low, because the greens stick like glue. These greens helped me shoot one of my lowest scores of the week. This is a wonderful course I would recommend to anyone.

I played this course on an aerification special. I liked the layout of the course and it was well maintained. The course has a good look to it(scenic) even with the tourist villas that line the fairways. A number of those villas had residents hanging out on the patios so get used to playing in front of a gallery! I wouldn't play this course on their normal greens fees which border $100. Check Golfnow.com for discounted fees. I haven't played the other Orange Lake courses, but I'm sure that they will be as enjoyable as the Reserve. Enjoy....

The course was overall in great shape. Was aerated appx 2 weeks prior so greens still rough but very playable. Fairways great shape. Staff very friendly, Cart girl, Sonia very friendly and was around frequently.

The green were some of the worst greens I have ever seen. Not worth the time or money. But the Legends course is very well maintained.

Course had some.challenging holes and.hazards. Staff was very friendly and.helpful. signs.of aeroation but this was explained before play. Would definately play here again. A few more ball washers would be helpful.

Good course for the golfnow price. Would recommend it.

A excellent course, in great condition. Course management is they key to a low score, it really makes you think, great fun.

Water on many holes laced with large bunkers and waste areas

Lots of water hazards and the greens are quite fast but fun to play.

Nice course. Lost a lot of balls but still fun. Course is well maintained. Greens in nice shape and run true. Staff not too friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed the course.

Varied holes and many great features, greens in good condition.

Very nice course-not too difficult. They do charge a $15 rider fee even when booked at end of day and it's not busy. It is my wife's favorite course to ride around with me. Other than the usual 100 and 150 yard markers in the fairway, there are no other distances. I personally had trouble deciphering pin placement. Colors appeared about the same to me. Value is very good [provided no rider], but, I do like to play it in the off season when I have less than 3hrs to get around. Hope this helps.

Overall, the course was nice and well maintained but the speed of the greens varied... Scoring from the back tees was relatively easy. Fun!

13 holes have water or swamps. Holes with less water usually have a large trap right in front of the green. So, be accurate or take a lot of balls. Course is well-maintained and good facilities. The golf academy has demonstrations on some afternoons-M,W.
They sell unhittable putting balls in the club house market. But the greens are already challenging enough. A lot of fast side/down hill putts. Very challenging. Good luck!

tight lies make chipping around the greens very challenging

This is an easy course tee to green but the greens are good with plenty of slopes that make 3 putting a possibility on every hole. Always busy and lots of hackers and non golfers mean bunkers not raked and lots of unrepaired pitch-marks on greens. We were stuck behind a 5 ball until the course marshall split them! I wouldn't pay the full price to play this course.

nice greens,friendly staff,all around good experience.
