Solid Course - Good value for money

As a +4 hanicap, crooked cat is one of the few courses I'm Orlando over 7200 yards, which I personally enjoy. The course forces you to hit your long irons accurate. Greens are a bit slow with all the decent rain. I booked a tee time at 4:02. The only negative is that if you tee off after 4pm, a rain check is not available, which is not a great policy if I'm being honest. Not bad for $45 dollars as an orange county resident.

Great shape

The greens are in phenomenal shape (except hole 18, they lost that green somehow). This course is always in great shape and has drained well considering all the rain lately. It gets a ton of play so the pace of play isn’t great, but it’s expected here.

The tooth review

"The price of the course wasn't bad, but charging an extra $15 for a cart felt a bit excessive, especially since they used to include them at no additional charge. That being said, the course conditions were great, and the staff at Orange County National was awesome, as always. We followed up by playing a quick 18 holes of virtual golf over at The Den—that place is going to be fantastic once the weather cools down."

OCN

Love coming here. Conditions are literally always perfect for good golf!!

Their computer system was down upon check in but no big deal as I had prepaid.

Only real, yet minor issue was with the foursome in front of us’ pace. I started as a solo and ran into a group of two solos who had to get together and were waiting in the fairway on the second par 5. The rest of the afternoon was us 3 waiting for the 4 guys (who were playing the wrong tees) to finish every hole. God bless those guys but we need to let smaller faster groups through!

Excellent

This is by far my favorite 9 hole course. The course layout is easy to fallow and greens are well kept. The senior lady at the desk gifted me a water for waiting a little and she was very friendly. Furthermore, I lost my phone on 2nd tee and someone was nice enough to return it to the desk. We still have a few good people on this earth. One thing I would like to see is the distances to the greens for each hole displayed on the signs for the different tees. This was my 5th time playing here and shot my best round ever four over par.

Lovely challenging course

Played this course yesterday. It had aeration a week ago and was recovering well. A very long course and I would say it's key to your enjoyment to play off the right tee for you. We played off the greens and as two 13 handicappers shot+6 as a Texas scramble. We regularly had about 190 yards in for our second shots. I think playing of the whites would have been better.

Carts were good. Free orange and iced towel a good addition at the starters hut. Tee boxes ok, but not the best. Fairways generally very good. Greens recovering well. Pace of play good, but not amazing.

Would definitely recommend it.

Enjoyable Golf experience!

All around great experience from the Practice Facilities, the Staff, the Pace of Play, and the Crooked Cat Course. The Crooked Cat Links Style Course was fair, you just need to have control of your Ball like any other Course. Would highly recommend playing this Course if you're in the area.

Aerated but still fun!

Greens were still a little bumpy from aeration but it was tolerable. Rest of course is in good shape and always fun to play this layout. The group in front of us was slow but ranger was doing his best to move them along. They thought it was funny to play super slow on 18 and back up 3 groups. Not the course’s fault, some folks just lack decency.
