Tooth 9-hole Course at Orange County National

About
The Tooth Course is a popular nine-hole executive course at the Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge. The facility also features two 18-hole regulation courses. The Tooth Course mimics the shape and challenges of its sister courses but on a smaller scale, making it an ideal place for golfers to sharpen their game. The course is especially useful for getting practice with irons. The course offers strategically placed bunkers, a lake that comes into play on four holes, and subtle elevation changes. Orange County National welcomes younger players to play the Tooth, allowing them to play free of charge when accompanied by an adult.

Long walk to start
Cathy was a great starter.
Could use better signage to direct you to the short course pro shop.
Nice easy course
Fun course that is wide open, although I find a way to hit the only tree on the course. Took my son and he loved it. A few rolling hills where it's nice and easy but just a tad challenging
The Tooth
Very good short course to wrk on your short game. The greens were fast. The fairways were okay but not as nice as the regulation courses. Good value.
Nice 9 hole walking option
Good course and layout to walk. Plays longer than the arccos says. Also, hole #1 is actually #2 and so on using arccos. Directions to the start are sketchy at best if not nonexistent. Park over by the range then walk up a fairly steep hill to the starter shack. Starter was very helpful pointing out the course holes and directions.
Good Fun!
Loved the course, Enjoyed walking while playing. Great elevation challenges. Will play it again!
Staff at the Tooth check in save the day!
Played Crooked Cat and Panther Lake many times, but this was the first time at the Tooth course. Great challenge and way better than I expected. Fantastic carts to walk with and a great layout.
Facility is amazing aside from the rude unfriendly staff in the clubhouse. This is not the first time a staff member at check in hasn’t been able to answer the skill testing question I started with, Hi, How are you? Absolutely miserable from the young staff member who was wearing a sweater two sizes too small for his lil belly. We made our way to the tooth check in and the couple at this part of the course were absolutely fantastic! They really saved the day and should be applauded for their efforts in welcoming us. They gave us the layout, tricks, and wanted to ensure we had a fantastic day. They even checked in at the end to make sure we enjoyed! Well done!
Mow in the Dark
We began our round at 10:20 a.m., teeing off on the first hole. As we approached the second hole, the fairway was being mowed, and the tee boxes were still being tended to. Despite our arrival, the staff member did not pause his work, so we waited for him to finish before proceeding. By the third hole, he continued mowing nearby and left his engine running during our tee-off.
Throughout the first nine holes, we encountered the lawn maintenance team on every hole, which detracted from our experience. After finishing the round, we visited the pro shop to share our concerns, but the staff seemed unresponsive. We did not receive any offer of a complimentary refreshment or gesture of goodwill; instead, we felt that our concerns were dismissed in favor of routine business operations.
We appreciate your attention to this feedback, as it’s important to us—and likely to other guests—that the golf experience is enjoyable and minimally disrupted. Thank you for considering our comments.
Hot Tooth Play
Still wet areas after yesterday's rain. Hot and humid but expected. Like the updated push carts for walking the course. Greens in good condition and only saw the gator once.
