Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge

The course was in very good shape compared to other courses in the area. They had a bad freeze but the course was still in very good shape. Great layout.

I had never played this course and had an opportunity to play for a good price and was really excited to play. To start, the practice facility is amazing. Proshop to starter staff were good too. We teed off at 1215...all good until we reached the 7th tee box. There were 6 foursomes including us between the 7th tee to the 7th green., par 5. For a golf course of this caliber, charging upwards of $150 a round, I would expect that pace of play would be much more controlled. After speaking to a marshal, they have no control/authority to move groups along. We waited on every tee shot, 2nd and approach shots. We finish our round at just over 5 hours. If I had paid the $150+ rate...I would be fuming. According to the marshal we spoke with, this is a common issue. The overall condition of the course was good, I'd recommend to play but to be mindful of the possibility of a long round.

Pace of play was over 5 hours

Course was decent but not great. Has been much better. Worst I’ve played in last 10 years.

Greens were shaggy and had some weeds. Cut in some places was uneven.

Paid $140 GolfNow rate.

Driving range facilities were outstanding. Layout of golf course was nice. Course condition was not good fairways grass was very, very thin, almost like playing off hard PAN.The tee boxes were tore up some aerated. Greens were sanded and fairly slow.

Driving range and practice facility are top of class. Staffing at bag drop, pro shop and starter very good. I really enjoyed the course layout with fairly generous landing areas and greens well protected by bunkers. There was water, but not too much like some other courses in the area.

Now for the negative. The course conditions are at best a 3.5 star. The tee boxes need some love. The fairways are well groomed, but grass is thin and not lush like it could/should be. The greens were in ok shape, but recently top dressed with sand. There were numerous greens you could see ball trails from the sand, similar to what you would see with morning dew.

This course could be a must play, with a little tlc.

Greens very good.

Fairways just about ok

A lot of bunkers never seem to be raked

Staff all good and very friendly

Certainly not a bad experience but far behind a number of courses in the area at a lesser price. Felt it had deteriorated since last year. I’m playing around Orlando 3 times a week for the last 5 weeks and this is say is the poorest review I’ve given. Sadly I won’t be returning. At the prices being charged I expect a more premium offering

Went out last week to play 9 with my buddies & it’s definitely a great practice for wedge work. The fairways are a bit rough right now, but the greens aren’t too bad. Kathy was a gem upon checking in, she’s got a great personality and she is very passionate about the game. Rumor has it there is going to be an all you can play pass in the spring for $150-200, and lights are allegedly coming to the Par3!

Overall, a good practice spot & I’m hopeful the tee boxes and fairways will make a good recovery.

Course was overall in great condition grass on the fairway, greens were immaculate. Course is pricey for nine holes, but they do have a replay feature for an extra 10 bucks. course is walking only; but the holes are close to each other so it does not feel like a trek.

We enjoyed the course. Had a group of older gentlemen in front of us and they were very slow. We waited every shot on the back side. Other than that, it was very enjoyable. I know the slow play isn’t the fault of the golf course. Would definitely like to play panther next 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

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.

I really enjoy Orange County National. This was my fourth visit and it never disappoints!

We playedin the morning and received cookie twice from the Ranger and the staff.

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!

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.
