Stunning- but not enough time

Excellent facility, stunning in all regards. Rate should have been further discounted for twilight. Bear this in mind. We only finished 14 holes with a tee off of 2:44 and sunset at 6 pm

Got Ran Off the Course By Maintenance

Course was in great shape, but had a horrible experience. By the time we reached hole 4, the entire maintenance crew was directly next to us with several running pieces of heavy equipment. On top of this, they were rushing us through our round by standing next us while hitting shots from the bunkers so that could rake the bunkers while we were on the green putting. This lasted through hole 9 where we asked a manager if they could have them wait until we were done playing the hole to get what they needed done. Instead of doing this, we just got told by the manager, I believe Alex, that we weren’t important because they had a big-money tournament the next day and the maintenance crew had things they needed to get done. The only thing he offered to remedy this was another discounted round of 18 for the final 9 holes we hadn’t completed. We reluctantly agreed to this offer but it was immediately rescinded when they realized we booked through TeeOff. Contacted TeeOff customer service and they reached out to the course just for them to tell TeeOff that the course was playable on the given date. Essentially turned into $500 dollars wasted for a group of guys who never splurge on nicer courses. Real bummer to start the golf trip.

Fantastic golf course and facility exceeded all expectations.

I usually don’t write reviews ( 2nd review in 10yrs), but had to give this course a five star rating as it exceeded all expectations! Great layout, fantastic facility & conditions, friendliness staff & good vibes for any course that I’ve ever played (100+ ). Looking to now move my guys golf trip to this great set up of 2 legit tracks, biggest practice facility ever seen & sweet accommodations!

Nice Course and Facilities

Well-run operation. Great practice facilities and staff very friendly. Front nine was so-so. Not much varation on holes. Back nine was more interesting with more water, interesting carries and beautiful natural areas. I'm not sure the cost was worth the whole experience though. I would probably play it again if I was with a group.

Great Course!

I’ve played The Tooth a few times now and I’m consistently impressed at the friendliness of the staff, the course condition, and the layout. There’s a great balance of short and long holes to use every club in the bag. I highly recommend it!

Great course!

Played both Panther Lake and Crooked Cat on back to back days this week and couldn’t recommend Crooked Cat enough! Very nice design and extremely fair! In awesome condition for January and the driving range is incredible.

Pure greens

I played on a foggy day so figuring out where to hit the ball was difficult on some of the holes. Having said that the course was well maintained, the holes were interesting (if not always obvious in the foggy conditions) and perhaps the purest greens I have putted in a long time.

Staff was friendly and accommodating. I prefer it to the other course, but not by a lot.

Don't play Crooked Cat

I played Crooked Cat more than a month ago. However I get a daily email to review the course!! I am afraid I am being charged for golf that I didn't play. So I will continue to put in bad reviews until the emails stop! I gave a positive review right after playing the course but after having conversations with both Golfnow and Orange County National, I still get the annoying emails...... So I will continue to post bad reviews until the emails stop!!!

Horrible greens

I have no idea what happened to the green on this course, because just a few months ago they were really good. I've played absolute dirt tracks that had better greens. They're so bad that it makes me wonder if they were poisoned or the greens keeper accidentally watered them with gasoline for a week. Anyways, the course it self was in good shape. The starter was terrible. I watched him make a single wait 20 mins with no tee times going out just to force him to play with a 3 some. Other than that bozo, the rest of the staff were and always are great. Stick to crooked Cat until that they the greens back in order.
