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.

Course has challenging layout

Course was challenging and good layout, pace of play was very slow with no Marshall's on the course. Course is confusing to find your way at the start.

Decent resort track

Played 9am tee time at Preserve Course.

-Very, very strange “pro shop”, sort of a convenience store/bakery with a golf course cashier in the corner.

-good driving range, practice green. (Practice buckets extra $)

-Friendly staff, starter, beverage cart, marshall’s.

-each hole unique from the last

-playable tee to green, some tricky greens (decent shape, fairly slow), beautiful sand in the green-side bunkers.

-very pretty wooden bridges over wetlands a over course

-no real food options at turn. Inedible gas station style “sub”. But ice cold beer.

-lots of holes in among the condos, very few toilets, even less trash cans.

Overall, not a great value at $60, considering other nearby options.

Strange stuff

Course conditions were good, no complaints. Here’s what was not good: lack of water,’ vending machines not working but no out or order signs. Cart girl says it never works. Why is it available to take money? Pin flags

all the same

and no way to know pin position. Starter said they ran out of green position cards a couple of weeks earlier.

Watch out for the pedestrians!

The person checking us in barely spoke nor did he give much instruction as to where to go. The starter was very friendly. He held us back until the group in front had cleared the tee but as we were ready to tee off along comes a nature walker on the cart path taking her time to pass and stopping and looking at the birds on the water beside the hole. It is a very narrow course and the fairways run beside the resort units. Some of the sidewalks are also close to the course and at one point we had to wait while a woman and two small children cleared the area. for fear of hitting them. At the end as we brought the cart back the employee who saw us pull in just got in another cart and took off without a word to us. Not a course we would return to.

Nice track. Requires marshalling.

Expensive for experience. Great venue, great course. Greens excellent for time of year. Very slow. Lots of high HCs playing as twosomes and players playing two balls??, 4-somes jumping in at #10?? Just a bit of marshalling could have improved things 100%. Players waiting too long for group in front expecting to hit their first 300 yd drive, only to put it in the woods! Signage could be better. Won't play again, not at that price.

Greens were fast and true. Fairways good. Lots of short par fours. A few quirky holes but they too were fun to play. Always enjoy my rounds here. Try this course for sure when in orlando.

Funny but not for real

The course is ok to play but it is not a real golf course. It is a nice training course.

Reserve Course

Played this course several times and it is a fun course to play, Challenging holes but forgiving enough that everyone can score well. Condition in places was odd in that big squares of turf has been cut out the fairway answer the first two holes were surprisingly wet !

For the $27 dollars paid, this was a great day out.

Will definitely go back again

Nice laid out course

We played this course on a very quiet day. The greens were a nice true roll although a little slow for my liking. Due to the rain the night before some wet areas but not a big problem. We completed our round in under 3 hours so a good pace of play. I don’t know what is going on in Florida but nowhere seems to have gps on the carts any more !! I wish I had brought my Bushnel with me as working yardage’s out wasted time pacing it out from the fairway markers !!

I would play here again a fun course that was not overly difficult but still a test.
