Horrible course

This was the worst course I have ever played at. The conditions were awful! The tee boxes were hard with no grass and the greens were bumpy and had crab grass. The fairways were a mess. We thought it was a joke. We paid about $77 pp for greens fees and cart and you couldn't pay me to play there again. What a waste of money!

Worst value for your money. Go somewhere else.

Course very over priced for quality of tees, greens and fairways. Not worth any more than 35.00. Greens have weeds, poor tee offs and fairways are so,so. By the way, I have played the Reverse Course there and it is worst. Have a great day.

Nice layout. Course conditions could be better

This Arnold Palmer design is a nice layout - easy off the tee for short hitters but challenging the longer you hit. However the course was very dry and fairways were brown and like hitting off hard pan. Better lies in the rough. Greens had dead patches and crabgrass in spots.

Too Pricey Poor Condition

Disappointed... Management needs to spend money to improve this course. Green fees too high for the condition of course . Golf Now should remove this course from their website. We have played many courses here in Florida for the last five year this is the worst course we played.

Waste of money. Will not return & will not recommend to our friends.

DOG TRACK

I came down to stay at my condo at Mystic Dunes last weekend. I had a tee time which i canceled because the course is in really bad shape plus construction of new units. So i booked the legends on golfnow which was $75. Small buck of range balls is $10 and large is $14. Dont be fooled by the practice green the real greens have 3 different types of grass and i swear i putted through a patch of creaping jenny. The whole place course is a mess. The Integrity group more like NO INTEGRITY Arnold would be disappointed.

Nice for beginners

I played with my wife who is just learning the game. We were able to golf with just the two of us with no one pressuring us. I played from the back tees and there are some plenty challenging part 3's. Fairways were in good shape. Greens were fair. Would play this course again.

In Need of Care

As usual, the Palmer design was very interesting, enjoyable and challenging - very thoughtful. Management, however, was lacking. Scorecard photocopies (not originals), no range balls available, very rough tees and greens and very dry conditions. Several other courses in the area were in much better shape.

This could be a premier course if it were better cared for.

Orange lake reserve

This course is in a mess. The fairways were in very bad shape hardly anys good grass and the greens were just average. This was my first time at this course but for the price you can find better courses in the same area. I don't know if it's the lack of water but they really need to do something about their fairways.

This used to be a great course!!

I have never given a bad review before but I feel I have to here. I have played this course in the past and it was in great shape, not anymore! We had a group of 8 guys playing and were very disappointed, the course has gone down the drain, much like Metro West did last year. Fairways are void of grass, needs a lot of water and fertilizer I think? Greens have weeds and are very thin. This a very accurate review so take my advice, don't play here unless they give you a rate of under $40.00 per round. And I would just stay away until the management changes and they get this beautiful layout back in to shape>

Course conditions not great

Owner at the resort for 10 years. This is the worst I have seen it.

That being said, it has been a dry winter. We flew from Canada to play Orange lake courses. Disappointing to see the conditions....But it sure beats what we have back home.

Staff were great. No issues there at all

Horrible Conditions

I have been playing here for 20+ years and this is the worst conditions I have ever seen. Apparently integrity golf has taken over the last three years and have ruined what was above Average conditions. Can't blame it on the weather since the other course which is nine holes, cranes bend, is in fine shape. Their fairways are what we were used to playing on at the reserve. Tremendous amount of work to be done

What a shame

Wonderful layout, deplorable course condition. Must be lack of money or need a new grounds keeper. Yes, we have not had a lot of rain but I play frequently and other courses are in good shape. I played this course several months ago and it was in fair to good shape. You frequently needed to roll your ball in the fairway to find a tuff of grass. This course is so negligted they will need major funds to bring it back. I will say the greens are good although dry. No ice and water on course. One highlight, the cart girl was wonderful and came around frequently.
