Holiday Inn Club Vacations - Orange Lake Resort

Great layout. Some pretty and challenging holes.

Greens in good condition.

Great fun.

Played here 18 months ago and really enjoyed it. This time around was poor. Great layout but very little maintenance in the last year. Fairways were very thin with little to no good grass and the greens were hard and sparse. For $50, I expected a lot better kept course.

A nice walkable course to practice 5 wood shots and iron shots. Great track for the average player. Sand traps strategically placed. Played the 9 holes in just over an hour.

Greens and fairways in very poor conditions. Pin placements erratic and not posted

Have played the Legend frequently for the last 20 years. It was always in pristine shape with visiting pga players in orlando frequenting it. For the last 5 years it has gone down continually with very poor management of greens , fairways and bunkers. Turf in the fairways is matted brown grass that does not appear to be growing. Bare spots are numerous .In some fairways you cant even move the ball around to find a descent lie. Greens are very bumpy with so many weeds growing on them , you have to move your ball to get a clear putt to the hole. The greens desperately need a total makeover which is obviously long over due. Bunkers have deep loose sand which makes a skillful shot almost impossible. The worst thing I see is no one working to improve the conditions! Even the driving range is not being maintained and yet they are charging exorbitant prices for a bucket of balls!

Orange lake is a quality gold crown resort which has allowed a company with either no financial ability or knowledge to manage the 3 courses on site. Shame on who ever has allowed this wonderful layout to be destroyed! There are many resort owners including myself who are very upset and are leaving the resort to play elsewhere because of the terrible conditions of their courses! Please be warned!

Legends is in poor shape needs alot of TLC. I don't think that Arnie would appreciate the shape its in.

There are alot better coures out there for the same money.

This was a nice course that has fallen into poor condition. Fairways had little grass, many of the greens had bare spots and all had various grasses poking thru the green. All in all, an expensive lesson learned.

Best deal I have seen at this course. Slow play but average for Florida (5 hours). 4 alligators none in the fairways. Challenging but rewarding with good fairways.

This nine hole walking course at Orange Lake Resort is a great warm-up for the golf season.

A real dog track,in poor shape.should dig it up and build more condos.

We arrived about 10 minutes early for our round only to find a few groups waiting to T off. Apparently they we out of golf carts & had to wait for other groups to finish before others could go out. Not a very professional setup here. Of course we waited a every tee.

The course was great except for the fairways. They were hard with little grass. I had a hard time getting under the ball.

Course was dry as a bone. No clubhouse. I should have paid $10 more to play somewhere else.

Do yourself a favor...Save your money or book a Disney course. This golf course was brutal. The "fairways" are brown and the greens, while fast, were very patchy. Most of the front 9 and some of the back 9 feels like you are playing at an abandoned military base. It is like a scene out of The Walking Dead...the small amount of people we saw as well.

The traps are in awful shape and some of the bridges have not been touched since 1982 when the course was last manicured.

The biggest surprise was that we played Disney Magnolia the day before and it was less expensive and a fantastic experience.

Don't bother wasting your money at this course.

The course has wide open fairways which was nice, the condition of the fairways could be kept up better. My biggest problem was the scorecard did not have a picture of each hole and their was no picture of the hole at the hole and a couple of times I got in trouble hitting driver off the tee box if I would of known their was hazards I would of play differently .

Played course several times over the past 10 years, and second time this year.

In our opinion:

the conditions were the worst of all the times we've played. Some fairways had holes that were about 6 inches in diameter, probably made by some animal. Several greens had burned out areas on them. The person we were paired with agreed that the conditions were very bad. We were surprised at the conditions, and disappointed because the layout is good. For the price, we won't return this year.

Arnold Palmer would not be pleased to see one of his good creations in such poor condition. The owners obviously either don't care or have no common sense when it comes to having such a great layout and a very poor conditioned golf course. Hardly much grass on the fairways and on the greens with lots of bare spots. Fairway bunkers had way too much sand in them which made the ball sit down and swings difficult to execute along with the green side bunkers again too much sand, poorly maintained and all balls would bury into fried egg lies.

It is very obvious why this course is not busy at all. The price they are asking to play is twice what it's worth and my

Recommendation is to avoid playing here and spend your time and money where they appreciate golfers who spend their money wanting to play a decent golf course.

Even the employee are angry about the conditions because it affects their livelihood as well

Course is in great shape and fun to play. We will be back for sure

While not in great shape, the layout for a par 3 course is challenging with many green side traps and narrow greens.
