A Good Return

Played as a single on Sunday afternoon, it had been years since I'd played The Legends, so happy to see the course returning to days of old. The Staff are great and the course was in very good shape ( a few greens need some work ) but you can see the course will be getting better and better in time, see you in a few months!!

always fun!

Had the course to myself on a hot and humid summer day. The course was not perfect, but pins were placed in a way to stay away from the areas that need some TLC. The staff was super friendly and let me get out in front of a larger group. I finished in less than 2 hours. Its a great and beautiful course. I try to play it every time I am in town.

Course has really gone downhill

I've played this course for over 8 years and this was the worst shape I've seen it in. Tee boxes were spotty with burned out patches. The fairways were in decent shape and at least 5 greens had patches of bare spots. I would always play this course since we stay in the villas right across from the course but I'll now be looking to play courses outside the resort. I can find better courses which are cheaper and are better maintained.

Don't play any of the other OLCC courses. The Legends is the best by far.

Much Improved

Always play the course each time I visit (average 4 times a year) In the past couple of years I have been very critical of the course condition but this time in my opinion the course is in much better condition that it has been for a number of years. Much Improved fairways although greens were slow. Overall much better and if the club continues to work on improvements then it will be back to where it was years ago and a great place to play.

Too bad Too sad

having played here many times over the last 5 years....since this management company took over and basically ruined golf all over central florida,,,they took great pride in making this nothing more than a dog track.....can't tell where the rough ends and the fairways start....greens are cancer covered....pathetic shape...should be ashamed to charge money at all.....pretty bad when the tee box is the nicest part of the course.....maybe should put a hole and flag on the tee box and putt first....too bad when a company takes over and ruins it for everybody with their thinking of not putting money in but taking all kinds of money out....nice....NOT....kids playing in greenside bunker on number 4...no marshals...cart girl didn't want to get involved...sad sad days ahead for this resort

Save your money, play the legends course instead.

This my 2nd time playing this course, I played it back in October 2016... This time around, the course was easily the worst course I've played in my life in terms of condition. The tee boxes and fairways were non existent, and the greens had enough sand to win a sand castle competition... It's a shame too because we actually enjoyed the layout. It's tight and set up for a shot maker and most shots require some creativity. Unfortunately, it only left us trying to come up with creative ideas on how to leave... Courses in this poor of condition should be no more than $20 with a cart. The fact that it is considered a resort course and they charge resort rates is unbelievable. If you're staying at the resort, save your money and play the legends course, or just go somewhere else. There are some positives though.... the staff was very friendly and the pace of play was very good. They just need to take some time and give the course some love. With some work, this would be an outstanding and challenging track.

Needs Work

Greens were decent for being punched recently, but fairways and tees need a lot of work.

Getting Better

This is a home course of my timeshare. It is under new ownership. They are doing a good job of building up the course, putting in new sod and fixing greens. Give it some time and it should be a great course again.

It sux

This course is not worthy of your worst effort. Narrow fairways, small greens in poor shape. It is not even pretty. We will quit golfing rather than play here again.

Good warm up

It's a good course to practice your game. Not very busy . It's a short 9 hole course with a lot of par 3's.

The course and greens are in good shape and makes it a good value
