Save your time and money

Course wasn’t in good enough condition to charge what they charged. Play was slow and the ranger didn’t pay attention to who was actually slowing play down on top of being an absolute twit. Greens had small rocks on them where they had top dressed the greens and didn’t screen their sand before loading it.

Nice renovation

There was a slight kerfuffle when a group accidentally jumped in front of our foursome, but it was handled quickly and professionally by staff.

The new greens are HARD. So, if the hole location is in the back, play to the front. If it's in the front, play a high ball or you're cooked.

This is the best time of the year to play this course right after they’ve seated all the grass is green and in great shape

Weekend round with Family & Friends

I would say that OCN courses are always in great condition but the current conditions were the best that I have ever seen there. A family member that was visiting from Virginia kept raving about it was the nicest course he had ever played. Tee boxes and fairways were amazing and the greens were a perfect and pure as you could ever hope for.

Don’t Waste the Money or Time

The ranger was insufferable. The greens were horrible. Nothing special or spectacular about the course. Played other courses in the area that blew it away.

Best Public Course in Orlando?

From Tee to Green, this is the nicest public course in Orlando. If you’re OC resident, utilize that discount and go play it. If you’re deciding between here and Disney or a resort course, play OCN. Crooked Cat is in the best shape right now!

Fun short course

Overall beautiful executive course. Very nice views and rolling hills.

However… tee boxes need a lot of love. No divot sand offered at tee boxes or from the tooth course golf shop where from what I saw.

BE PREPARED TO WALK FAR TO FIRST HOLE FROM PARKING LOT. give 5-10 min extra time to get to tooth course golf shop from parking lot

Everything looked better.

A lot of work on all aspects of the course has taken place with most positive results. Sand traps in great shape. New and improved sand. But greens slow but true

It’s OCN what more can you say

It begins with Mike in the pro shop. A warm and friendly guy extremely courteous, and professional. He certainly excels in customer service. The starter was a bit short but understandable with the pace of play being slowed down due to CPO and tee times backing up slightly. As for the course, great layout and in prime shape for golf season.

Amazing Staff and Great Conditions

I was in the area on vacation and found a hot deal to play the Tooth Course. Definitely happy I picked this course! It can be confusing as a first timer to understand where the clubhouse is for this course, but people were helpful, especially the one employee who gave me a lift in a golf cart, I was very thankful for that. If there’s one thing I didn’t love, it’s the walk from the parking lot to this course. If there was a shuttle that would be ideal. The lady, Kathy, who was working the pro shop for the Tooth, was AMAZING! She made me feel so comfortable and got me set up with rental clubs and everything needed to enjoy the round. I even got to try the new remote walking carts, and they were awesome! Overall a great experience I would recommend to anyone. Best part of the day was Kathy! She took it from good to great. I’ll definitely be back.
