Holiday Inn Club Vacations - Orange Lake Resort

Played in a 4 ball at 7.42am that cost a little under $250 and what a waste of money it was!! With 2 exceptions, the greens were in very poor condition with many bare patches, broad leaf weeds on some and overall running so slow it was difficult to sink a put. Some were fuzzy and others looked as though they were trying to recover from decease. Unfotunately it did not stop there. Most, if not all tees appeared as though had not been cut for days and many had bare patches and were uneven. To rub salt into the wound, the 11th fairway resembled a ploughed field in parts and was so wet one of our group hit his ball over 200 yds down the middle of the fairway and could not find it because it had plugged and disappeared into what looked like a swamp. It wasn't even marked GUR.

At the end of the round I asked to see the manager to complain and request compensation. I was told he had not arrived at work yet (it was 12.30pm!!) So I left my cell phone number for him to call. It is now 30 hours later and guess what..... he has not had the courtesy to call me back. Not a happy bunny!!

First time here. Staff friendly and helpful. Enjoyed course layout and variety of tees make it playable by all. Greens were a little patchy and some localized weed growth. Cart girl was excellent. Given softness of course they should include towels on the carts. Restaurant after front nine was very slow, had to let groups through

This was my favourite of the 2 courses on the resort. Greens were in much better shape than the Legends although still on the slow side. Great layout with very nice scenic views. Challenging layout for a 6500 yd course. I would recommend this course for $30 or less for sure!

Played in the morning and there was quite a bit of dew until about 10am which made the already slow greens even slower. Course is under new management apparently and there seems to be a lot of maintenance being completed that had not been previously. Challenging track and fun to play overall.

My second time playing The Reserve at Orange Lake. Enjoyed this round more than previous one several years ago. There appears to have been a good amount of improvements made. It was quite wet in places this week, probably still a residual result of the hurricane. I will definitely return on a future trip.

Greens in good condition. Held up by slow foursome in front, waited at every shot.

Course is in much better shape than when I played it in the spring (it was a cow pasture then). This time I paid $10 on a hot deal but I would not pay more than $30 for sure.

This course was awesome. Fairways and greens in great shape. Pace of play was very good. Only problem we encountered was a kid was flying a remote control drone on hole #4 in the middle of the fairway. He was oblivious to the oncoming golfers. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this course and play again when in the area.

I enjoyed the course....greens were slow but rolled true. Fairways were a bit beat up but nothing bad..back 9 is much nice than the front nine..the British bag drop guy was really nice but the guy in the pro shop was rude...

We enjoyed the course again. Played 3times last year and we are going back Monday agsin...

Liked the layout of the course, plenty of challenges with carries over water and rough areas. Course was in god shape considering the recent hurricanes but was muddy in spots and grounds crews had left a lot of ruts in the areas. Pace was slow at first. 3 4somes on 1st tee ahead of us at our registered tee time. Did a bit of waiting for first few holes and of course those behind you think you are holding up play and try to crowd shots in.

Average layout easy to get around not a whole lot of trouble
