Crane's Bend at Orange Lake Resort
Rating Snapshot
About
Crane's Bend is one of the four golf courses at Orange Lake Resort & Country Club in Kissimmee. The comprehensive club offers two 18-hole championship courses and two nine-hole courses, one of each is designed by Arnold Palmer. Crane's Bend, like the Reserve Course, is technically one of the first courses at the club though it could be considered one of the newer courses. This nine-hole layout was originally designed in 1982 but underwent a complete renovation in 2003. The name of each hole is a different species of bird, a tribute to the abundance of wildlife that can be seen throughout the course. The golf course wraps around the resort's scenic fountain lake. It is challenging but plays fast, making it perfect for a quick round.

PRETTY STARTER TO 18 HOLES
Early morning starter to loosen up the winter muscles... 4 par 4's long enough to hit your driver.
some water in play so it's pretty.. good value
Nice executive course.
Nice course. A few challenging holes. It is fun to play. Condition of greens a bit lacking. 8th Green look like someone took big divots out with a wedge. Other greens had large holes and spots of weeds.
Good Course
Great course if all you want is to play a quick 9 holes.
fun time golfing
The first hole is a little short, but the rest of the course is par 3/4 but fairly challenging. Every hole is different so that is a good thing - enjoyed playing with guys that joined me. Pace was good and never waiting or pushed by other golfers.
Short but not simple!
A short course in the beautiful Orange Lake Resort. Greens were fast and layout challenging on some holes. Would definitely play again; great spot to improve/ use your short game skills!
Nice tune up
This was a really good option for easing back into golf after not playing for 2 months. The course was in really good condition with fast greens that rolled true. This was an enjoyable round.
Nice Course to relax on
this course is a very pleasant course to play on. Overall not very difficult but it is not within it's challenges.
The only issue we had with the course was the fact that being within Orange Lakes Resort, guests at the resort use the fairways and pathways for walking. On one fairway an individual was playing with a drone. They should really send a player's assistant around periodically
Relaxed Fun
If your looking for a quick fun round with a buddy or just yourself this short executive course fills the bill.
Be sure to look for a Hot deal on golfnow
to cut the price from $30 to $12.
Course in great shape
Even though we have had daily downpours, course was in great shape. Greens are very good & fast - fairways relatively dry! Hit the front edge of cup on fly to #8, unfortunately no hole in one!
Good value for the price
Awesome experience if you have a child wanting to learn how to play great course to take out. Hole 8 greens where not good only expect the guess of the resort might have damaged it but short course no drivers needed for adults!
Only one issue
Loved the layout, the greens were very well kept and the play was fine. Sandtraps were very poor - lots of gravel, not sand. Other than that - very enjoyable.
Back again Fun Fun Fun
We play this course every year, it never disappoints.
short nine holes
not a good course to spend time,
it is not even worth my 20dollars, go to somewhere else,
Good Warmup to Orlando Visit
Picked a beautiful day for my son and I shake off the dust from the Northeast weather. Liked the fact that I could hit more than irons. Will definitely play again for a February visit.
Good day
Sharpen irons coarse good greens nice fairways and layout worth a day out plays in 90 minutes
Orange Lake cranes bend
Excellent and extremely good rate. Pity the price for The Legend and The Reserve courses are so high.
Good time
Good time for a couple older guys.
