Great Layout

First time playing Crooked Cat. Greens in great shape! Unusual high amount of brown spots in the fairways with dry spots throughout. Staff was friendly at the bag drop, but starter at 1st hole was rude and didn’t care if I was there or not. On personal cell phone the whole time. I would recommend this course for anyone, beginner or low handicaper,

OCN

Please be aware for at least the rest of October, that if you sign up to play Panther Lake, because of the recent storms there is still standing water on the front 9. You will likely start on #10 of Crooked Cat and then play the back 9 on Panther Lake. FYI, the back 9 on Crooked Cat is difficult. Other than that the course was in pretty good shape considering the storms.

Great course

Je recommande ce terrain pour le layout, sont degrés difficulté et la qualité du parcours.

Seul bémol , le parcours est un peu long et vraiment difficile pour les femmes qui frappent moins de 170 verges avec un driver

Great course, great location

We love playing Crooked Cat. Given the hurricane just came thru, this course drained very well. It is always in great shape.

Despite the storm

Every year I’m passing in Orlando area, I want to play OCN.My favourite is Panther Lake.

Because of the storm OCN did make play back nine holes of Panther Lake and then the back nine holes of Crooked Cat.

Evidence of A lot of water got. Nevertheless the course, fairway tee box are fairly good , the greens were awesome.

Great job to OCN

Pace of Play

Got behind a real slow foursome right off # 1 tee! Finally skipped A hole and went in front of them! Finished 4 holes in front of them! Need a Marshall as much play as OCN gets!

Not quite worth the money...

Walked up without a tee time a promptly got situated.. the starter got me out pronto. The first issue was the GPS on the cart did not work, so the first nine holes were a guessing game. Also, there in NO WATER COOLERS on the course. If you do not fill a container or have your own, it is a dry mouth after 95 degree day, They did have a water cooler at the turn..no lids for the cups. Overall, nice course that is maintained to muni level quality.,, will not race back to play.

Bad Decision

I get there early, an hour prior to mt tee,time. I asked would it be okay if I could get out early. The manager said NO, even though the course was wide open for single to join a three several times. I asked why won't you sent me out. Reply, because you booked through GOLFNOW. Needless to say, it tool everything in my power to call this jerk a DICK.All other workers there were embarrassed and felt my pain.
