Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge

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.

Consistently in very good shape. Crooked cat is a beautiful course.

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.

Great course

The one complaint that the bar shuts at 5.pm

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!!!

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.

Extremely slow play due to a fog delay in the am and members of a group running extremely late didn’t get to tee off till 1:45… our tee time was at 1:00.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Crooked Cat. Tee boxes were in excellent condition, fairways were plush and the greens ran true. We will definitely play this course again.

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.

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

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.

Early tee time. Cold and wet. Hot deal. Still enjoyed the course.

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.
