Holiday Inn Club Vacations - Orange Lake Resort

We had played the course a few years ago and enjoyed the play of it. While we had a good time playing yesterday, the course conditions were not what we remembered. The greens had different grasses growing through making the putting area a bit uneven. The fairways and rough were lacking grass in some areas. It seemed that the course could really use a good watering.

Right off 192 near Disney this is a 9 hole course with 6 par 3s and 3par 4s where you hit almost every club in your bag if you are an average golfer. We played here for about $15 (hot deal on GolfNow) and it was worth it. I believe it costs more at the regular rate and perhaps that is why it was empty. It is among a huge complex of condos an

D small lakes.There are also 2 other 9 hole courses we did not play here.

Conditions were fine, the greens were among the fastest that we have played in the area, and there are plenty of hazards including some alligators!

Overpriced dog track. Tee boxes are uneven and chewed up. Greens are in bad shape. The aprons have debris we played with someone who had had a time share here since 2008. Said the course used to be much better. I wouldn't pay more that $20

I had a hard time finding this course because you can't just enter the address to a GPS. The course is short but challenging. Nice layout and well maintained. Good value.

We were looking for. short 9-hole course we could walk and this course was perfect. We were done in less than 2 hours and had a good little walk, too. A little challenging - lots of sand traps!

Visiting Orange Lake for first time and finding Reserve course is different. No clubhouse, proshop is located in a retail shopping plaza. Staff was very friendly.

Course was in Good Condition. Greens were 11 on Stimp meter, with undulating slopes to challenge putting skills. Only negative was sprouts of non bermuda grass on some greens. Winds of up to 20 offer club selection challenges holes buffered by trees. Would play the course again. Nice Alligator on water bank behind 13th green!

Pretty good track. Not too much water or sand. Could be better if the greens were rolled on occasion. Quite bumpy.

This is an executive course so it is short - a couple longer holes and with a reasonable layout around the rental properties. Greens are difficult - fast and lots of slope. Fairways are generally dry and were tough for 2 of our party to hit off of. Water comes in to play on a number of holes. Course could be improved if fairways and tees boxes were upgraded.

Malgré le fait que c'est le seul terrain déssiné par Arnold Palmer ouvert au public, la qualité des fairways et Green est pas à la hauteur. Plusieurs tache de mauvaises herbes sur les verts. Layout intéressant mais manque d'amour! Je passerais ! Bonne bouffe au pub !

Instead of saying Reserve clubhouse it says Marketplace. Greens were good but the fairways had many bare spots and needed water. Wooden bridges need asphalt Ramos on both ends. I rate this as 2.5 stars

Play was slow, waited for most shots, Fairtways were in poor shape.

The grounds conditions were horrendous. Cannot imagine who plays there and dares to compare to the Legends. We have played many courses here in Florida as we play every day for the 2 weeks we are here each year. We left after first 9 holes.

I have to say that this is the most poorly run course I've ever played. My brother and I arrived early for our 750 am tee time. We had our clubs shippped from NYC to their location via ship sticks. This apparently was a massive burden on the customer that they had no interest in solving....

I was informed that although the clubs are brought to the pro shop... they actually bring all club shipments to their maintenance facility. I was told I had to drive 10 minutes to a mysterious maintenance and LAUNDRY facility used by the resort. The staff couldn't help... I had to clean up their stupid process. We arrive at the maintenance facility only to find it doesn't open until 8 am.... our tee time was at 750. I called the pro shop to send someone down he said there was nothing he could do. I asked them .... shouldnt you open earlier knowing people ship their clubs here AND also play before 8 am.....duh.

We notified them to push back our tee time. They made 0 effort to accomodate us when we approached the first tee. They made us wait for a window when a group was late. The starter literally told us we may have to miss our afternoon 18 tee time.

The course itself is in very poor shape. Dirt patches on the green and tee boxes. I didn't feel like I was at a resort but a local muni. Overall there is no reason to play this course with so many great golf courses in the surrounding area.
