Holiday Inn Club Vacations - Orange Lake Resort

Considering all the rain from the day before this course was in great shape. We enjoyed the reasonably wide fairways. Played the black tees which made for a good but fair challenge for 13 handicappers.

Course was in Excellent shape and the greens very fast. We really enjoyed the course consider no cart person for food and drinks.

I have been playing this course for the better part of 30 years. Approximately eight years ago, Orange Lake chose to have Integrity Golf management maintain the golf courses at Orange Lake. What a mistake. In a matter of 4 years, the courses took a real dive. Fortunately for us owners, Orange Lake management took it upon themselves to turn the management over to Brown Golf which I believe took place in 2017. It has once again become one of the premier courses in central Florida. Therefore, our group will be once again be playing in the neighborhood of 100 rounds of golf at Orange Lake in 2020.

This course is always in great condition and the staff is friendly and professional. Great practice facility as well.

I was down to Florida for family vacation. Planned for 1 round. I picked this course cause it was about a 4 star rating, and about a 20min drive from where I was staying.

I have golf at Myrtle Beach a few times, so I kind of used that experience to compare. I would say it was comparable. I golfed early in the morning, so by the end of the game, I was right around the 4 hr Mark. I was paired up with a gentleman at first, and then another twosome joined our group. (Which slowed the pace down), but I was in the mindset that I’m on vacation, so no need to rush.

After the front nine, I was by myself, and waited a bit. I played two balls cause I had time, and I wasn’t holding up the group behind me.

The only complaint that I would have, which can’t be controlled, was it rained a couple days before hand. So, was a bit saturated in spots, but I didn’t see any pooling water really. So it was good.

Fairways and greens in excellent condition. 5 tee boxes made it fair for all levels of golfer. Layout was challenging but fair. Will definitely play again and recommend to friends!

My first time here or at any Arnold Palmer course. The wide open fairways of the front 9 had challenging green complexes which were above my skill level. However I thoroughly enjoyed both the front and back. Light play that day made it easy to take an extra putt, yet complete play in 4 hours.

The course was in great shape reflecting it doesn't get near enough play. The staff was friendly and helpful. They don't have a restaurant here, but the bev cart is well stocked. Play it!

This facility needs care...There is no drinking water in the course. The greens have weeds in them

and there is no signage where needed to tell you where the next tee box is. However the price is right and the course was empty. Bring plenty of balls because there is a lot of water.

SHOWED UP EARLY AND FINISHED MY ROUND IN 2 AND A HALF HOURS. GREENS AND FAIRWAYS EXCELLANT

Greens were fast and putted great. Fairways were a little tight, but the overseed might not have come in fully.

Very enjoyable round of golf on a very nice course in good condition. My wife & I played as a 2 ball (which we were happy with) & were let through by 3 different groups which was very nice and we completed our round in 3hrs 10mins which was excellent. Staff were very helpful and we will definitely play again.

Course was in good shape except for some greens had crabgrass on them. I was by myself so so pace of play was ok. I was behind a twosome who wanted me to stay behind them. The only negative was a maintenance worker was behind me the whole back nine. He was overseeing the fringe around the greens. It was like he was in a hurry. It would have been nice no to be pushed since I couldn't move any faster.

This is a great layout ..still challenging..the course is always in good shape:.i play it every other week
