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.

Is this what they mean by Drive the Green!? Photo submitted by CraigByKDW on 05/17/2016
I just played golf with entire Kid's Golf Academy
Wow did I get off to a bad start here. First, it was very difficult to check-in. Tooth is on the extreme side of the golf course. There were signs pointing in that direction, but I didn't see a place to check-in. So, I drove around. I went into one of lodge lobbies - no one there. I went toward the PGA store. No one there. I circled back to where I saw the sign to go Left & asked someone there. I was told I had to go to the clubhouse even for the short course. The clubhouse was quite the walk from my parking spot.
I circle back to the Tooth course. Go yonder over hills & valleys & finally finally #1 tee. My wife & I tee off. We're finishing the first hole & lo & behold about 20 kids are trailing us to get in their golf lessons. I thought they'd hang on hole # 1 for a bit. Nope, they trailed us the entire course.
When I golf, I go to relax from a stressful day. As you could imagine, it's not very relaxing when 20 6 to 8 year olds are following you with clubs rattling together & various giggling & such. The kids were NOT badly behaved. It's just that they didn't actually play the hole. They hit by the green only.
So, I tee off. My wife tees off. We got to play our next shot. I look over my shoulder & the kids are already trekking towards us. We're just off the green. They' all saddle up about 30 yards out waiting for us to finish with parents & coaches trying to hold them back.
The course seemed nice. But it was an aggravating experience. If you play this course, ensure that you will not be having the Kids Golf Academy at your heels. No bueno and Not fun. And a waste of money.
Good. price …..usually walk, but nice to have pull carts
Nice short course!
Way too busy - we waited two or three groups on the first several holes. But otherwise course was in good shape and always enjoy the walk!!
Great course. Needs better signage
I enjoyed the Tooth course itself. Good mix of holes in good condition. No carts allowed but it’s a short nine and ok to walk. The signage on the course could be better. There are some spots where a big arrow pointing the way would help. For example I walked straight to #2 tee without seeing where #1 tee was. But I’ll come back.
Nice little track for a walk
Good conditions, short course and friendly and welcoming staff. Can’t beat the practice facilities available at this complex. Arrive early as it is a bit of a hike from pro shop to first tee.
Outstanding Walking 9
The Tooth is the best 9 hole course that I’ve played in the area. It’s a hike from the clubhouse to the first tee and a very hilly and challenging course.
Unfortunately Golf carts are not allowed until the end of May except for the school classes
Good course to practice irons and putting
Course in very nice OCN condition. It's a short executive course with only 2 par 4's. Fun to play.
The Tooth
Excellent in all respects except (because of the venue size it was difficult to find The Tooth. Also no electric carts were available.
Course in good condition!
Great place to find tune your game, especially long Irons!
Fun executive course.
This is my first time playing here, and I really enjoyed the tooth course. It is walking only which I appreciate. Because I feel more relaxed. When walking, you can rent a nice push. cart if you do not want to carry. The course is set up for walking with the next tee box next to the greens. The course was in great shape and greens are faster than the usual public course I play. Love to play there again.
Misleading
TeeOff Tesla you that cart will be provided if available, then they tell you this only applies in the off-season and then charge you another $7-$8 for a pull cart. What is more annoying is you then see carts on the course which they claim are associated with lessons.
I get it and it’s an executive course and it’s walkable, ,although hilly in spots , but this did not sit well with my 70 year old mother in- law.
TeeOff and the course are simply not clear enough and could save themselves some problems and bad reviews if they simply beefed up their description/explanation on this matter.
Fabulous and fun small track in golf heaven
Really fun walk. Great course for beginners and to work in your short game for better players
