Holiday Inn Club Vacations - Orange Lake Resort

This resort and course literally reminds me of the movie Hot Tub Time Machine. You can tell this resort and course we're great about ten years ago, and when you go back for the same fun and golf

It's an absolute joke and run down resort. Course was extremely dry greens had sandy patches almost mini bunker like. $65 prime time

Is a joke for this. 1 beer cart girl for 2 courses saw her once on 13 no water stations and it was 88 degrees out. Avoid this place to the max unless you are a new golfer and just looking to play but make sure you get it for less then $40. The layout is great and has so much potential. Staff and Rangers were great and greens were actually fast just rough. This place has no care about maintenance even the resort. Never will be back and I don't recommend any of

You go.

Be aware that this golf course is a none cash facility.

We were 4 Canadian golfers and none of our credit card works!

It was a problem for payment but we end it up be able to play golf.

We have been disappointed by the way the handle the situation for the payment problem and did not feel like customer was their first priority!

Golf course is a good challenge.

Condition were good for this time of the year.

Legends is a bit more pricey than Orange Lake's Reserve course but worth EVERY penny! It's an AWESOME layout, in great shape, and you can feel Arnie's presence thanks to the inspirational markers at each hole. Bring your A game, because you need to carefully plan your shots. Regrettably, heading home tomorrow, but Legends at Orange Lake Resort will be at the top of my list for next winter's stay.

The conditions aren't that good but it was a decent place to play. Fairly easy from the white tees for a 16 handicapper.

My wife friend and I played here. We really enjoyed it. Great spot for a quick nine holes.

Course needs some attention. Greens were extremely fast - like putting on asphalt. Even hitting high wedge shots, greens would not hold. Easy to walk with or without a pull cart. Great course for a beginner as my wife enjoyed the two times we played this week. Course was not crowded which allowed us some instruction time for my wife.

This was perfect for my friends who hadn't played in 7 months! You can't beat the price.

Overall course was fun. Conditions leave quite a lot to be desired as it appears the course has been slightly neglected. Did enjoy my evening under the floodlights which made for a change. Would play this course again. Just wish the conditions of greens and tee boxes were slightly better.

Course was in rough shape. Greens where like putting on a pool table to hard for beginners. If you are staying at the resort it would be a better deal. Layout was only good thing.

Great layout . Has a lot of risk-reward holes. Enjoyed the course . Only Issue is that it is hard to find the club house even with a gps.

As an owner at Orange Lake I have played this course many times along with The Legends. For the past few years we have played off site for financial reasons. Better courses for a cheaper price. Today my brother-in-law and myself decided to play The Reserve.

What an absolute disgrace the condition of this course is now in. The course is in such a state of disrepair that either the ground staff should be dismissed or the course managers should be.

When this was a 3 course venue, Orange, Cypress and Lake, it was second to none. When they changed it to The Reserve and Cranes Bend they took all the character of the previous courses away.

This course is all about revenue for Orange Lake and course maintenance / management is non existent. Shame on you Orange Lake.

Course in good shape. I'd recommend it.

I Will play it again.

Overall condition very good greens hard fast and true pace of play good (4:15min) fairways are in relatively good condition for this time off year.

played 2/19- tee boxes and fairways in good shape for mid-winter. Greens: very firm, have that "winter dormant" look and feel, a lot of undulation, and difficult pin placements. Distances, and slope all reasonable, 124-129 for Whites.

usual Florida set up, "hazard on the right, water on the left". Traps well maintained, a number of large hazard areas, not bunkers.

The 4-some ahead needed lessons, shank after shank, slowed down pace and spoils any concentration/rhythm. Some say a "resort course"- this is more a community course for intermediate-term renters and regional guests. Yes, I'd play it again. Bring plenty of ammunition!!
