Holiday Inn Club Vacations - Orange Lake Resort

Great course. Well kept. Will play agin when back in town .

This is a nice little resort course. The new management has done more in the past few months than Integrity did the entire time they were in existence.

My in-laws have been owners at Orange Lake for almost 15 years. I have come the final few weeks of January for the last 5-6 years, playing both the Legends and the Reserve. After playing the Legends course this year I couldn't help but think what the heck is going on. The green fee price seems to have come down a bit but the club rental rate seems a little steep. For starters it was $50/round for a set of rental clubs. They are a nice Titleist set, except for the fact that one of my wedges and my putter were both replaced with a Bazooka brand club. When returning the set at the end of the round even the guy who cleans them asked what was going on and questioned it. Also, after playing the first hole and going to record my score I opened up the scorecard only to find it has already been filled out by the prior group. To make the round worse the "tee times" weren't enforced and the starter was just sending people out immediately after the group in front cleared driving distance. It caused a complete backlog on the majority of holes and either we were waiting for the people in front or feeling rushed by the people behind us. Finally, the course prides itself on being in great condition but the Reserve which costs almost half the price actually was in better shape. If this was a course that could be played for 60 - 70 bucks with rentals I probably wouldn't have taken the time to write this review. The fact that it is over $100 per golfer, and yet they still want $8 additionally for range balls, with the experience I had made me feel like something has gone horribly wrong with how it is being ran. I'd much rather spend the extra $10 the greens fee came down this year vs last to have a clean scorecard, a set of clubs that actually go together (especially if you are charging $50/round for them), tee times that actually mean something, and fairways/greens that match the marketing around it vs save a few bucks and overpay for a round at a course that prides itself on being of championship caliber when in reality it seems to be run and kept up like a $40 per round golf course.

$20 mid day hot deal. Outstanding value. Great layout in great condition. A few greens a little rough but pitted true. Very slow play but mid day on a resort course: it is what it is. Will play again and again.

Nothing in Orlando beats this for playable, fast , golf. I always play in 3-4 hours max. Always bring friends and they always agree. Great value for a medium grade course , five star service. So much to do with my time here , I don't want to be watching people teeoff for five hours.. Great pace of play here , every time. Fairway to green well taken care off and watered. Greens are true and good.

Condition of this course was above average for time of year. Some challenging holes with strategic hazards will test the skills of most golfers. Could not beat the price for a Sunday morning.

Course was in great shape except greens had been dressed. They were not consistent. Played from white tees and was very fair for me as a senior golfer.

We played this course a few years ago and we were not impressed. What a difference! The greens are slick, running true a pleasure to put on. The fairways are green and the course layout is great, very interesting which is what we like. The only down side this time was the pace of play on the front nine. There was no starter on the first tee and several two balls had gone out which caused a back log . My husband spoke with a few people along the way and eventually the pace increased. It certainly will not put us off going back.

Wanted to play a course not too far from the Orlando airport looked on golfnow flor a t time that suited me and I got lucky because it was in great shape a nice layout with a variety of different doglegs water hazards scenery and friendly staff perfect sandtraps. Great value

Not your typical par three. The course had several holes that were challenging and very enjoyable. Will probably play it again while we’re here at the Orange Lake resort

Tee boxes, fairways and greens are in good shape; and the course layout is interesting. However, it's incredibly distracting and dangerous that non-golfers use the cart path as a hiking trail with NO regard for golfers - chattering away and walking in front of golfers trying to play the game. Also, advising golfers of cart path only conditions up front rather than at the first tee leads to more satisfied customers, particularly on days such as the day I played when the course was DRY with the exception of the single hole where carts are NEVER allowed in the fairway.

Only one thing to say about this experience....it took more than 5 hours.

2 different 9s. Because carts do not have sat navs you are playing several of the holes blind. LLooking forward to playing the course again.

We have golfed the Legends numerous times over the last 4 years. Over the last couple years the course has gotten extremely busy. Unfortunately our latest experience is causing me to write this review. There were 2 groups of 5 ahead of us and a group of 6 with a man pushing a baby in a stroller! This should not be allowed and they definitely need a Marshall on the course. We were not able to finish our round do to darkness - had these groups not been allowed or had they been monitored, we would have had no problem finishing as we were a group of 2. I’ve tried calling a phone number to talk to someone about this problem, but I have not been able to get through to a person. The course itself is a good course, but we can not recommend it anymore until they resolve this issue.

Scenery is very good. Course condition is fair. It could be a nice 90 minute golf if the pace is decent. Expect to skip one hole if you play behind some very old folks. It is not their fault; you are just unlucky that day.
