Very nice course

Every thing at the course was well maintained. The staff that I dealt with were exceptional and very knowledgeable. My only issue was the course had some wet areas in the fairway but we it rained on and off through my round so I am not sure if those areas are always soggy or it was the day. Great Course.

Great Course.

Even in a light rain course played true. Any trip to Orlando would not be complete without playing one of these tracks.

Amazing Layout and Quality

Crooked Cat at Orange County National was awesome. My buddies and I booked it two days out on a Hot Deal for $60 and we felt like it was a steal of a deal. Tee boxes were all in solid condition, fairways were great and the green rolled true despite a bit of an issue with others not cleaning up their ball marks. Pace of play was fantastic for us as a foursome until we ran into a slower group on the back that we got held up behind for a while, but if it was any ordinary group in front of us, there never would have been an issue. One thing to take note of this course, this course may seem a bit easier due to the nature of it being a links course, but was by no means an easy course. It plays pretty long, if you miss the fairways you are in for some trouble, and some of these greens are a force to be reckoned with. I wouldn't say it was a hard course by any means, but it definitely can present some challenges.

Side note: the practice facilities are massive and absolutely amazing for the course being public.

We wished the cart girl had showed up a bit earlier in our round, as we didn't run into her until we reached the 9th hole. Also we were a bit bummed by the clubhouse being closed at 6 as we wanted to eat dinner there before heading home.

All in all, we had a fantastic experience and will for sure be back again!

Slow Slow Play

Normally one of my favourite courses in the area. I brought out 3 friends who had never played the course & they hated it due to slow play. We had to call the clubhouse on the # 7 tee cuz we had been out on the course for over 2 hours. The guys had rental clubs & were playing the Orange tees which were way too long for them. Marshall showed up but didn't change anything. Not too much fun for us or the guys behind us. We were tortured for 5 3/4 hours!!! Probably not going back.

Sparse grass in fairways and slow play

Disappointed in this track. I think they over seeded to try to thicken the fairways, but hasn't worked so far. Cart path only makes for an extremely long round. Nice layout, but not worth the money.

Cart Path Only

Had a good time a Panther Lake. Would be nice when looking for courses on Golf Now if it mentioned that the course will be cart path only. Looks like it was due to over seeding which was done a while ago, so it should have been information available well before the round.
