Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge

Greens were recently aerated, but still were in good shape. I'm not good enough for it to matter anyways. Cart path had some construction spots but nothing bad, just had to veer off a couple times. Otherwise, the course is in wonderful condition. It's a must play if you're in the area. Try go during the week day, weekends can get very busy. I went Monday morning and it was decently empty, lots of singles. Was able to finish in under 4 hrs easy.

Positive experience with some areas to improve.

Playing conditions were very good considering the amount of rain recently but compared to other courses we played we didn't get the value we hoped for due to the listed cons.

Pros - Great layout that offered risk reward, extensive practice facilities, helpful staff, decent selection of apparel at pro shop.

Cons - No prior notification that greens were aerated, practice green closed, restaurant closed,

As advertised this course is challenging. But, if you hit it straight you can shoot a good score. I didnt accomplish either of those 2 things. Hopefully you'll have better luck.

Great Job on design and maintaining the course. The drainage during the rain is impressive. Dumped with full on storm and it drained right away with cart path only. Whats more impressive an hour later they allowed us to drive on the course. No pools, no swamps, no soft areas, greens were on point. Awesome.

Keep in mind before you play Crooked Cat, this is a a Q School course. It’s not meant for you and your buddies to have some drinks and mess around on an Orlando resort course. It’s meant to see how good you are. It’s always maintained well and you have to hit your shots. With that said, it’s always challenging and always fun.

1. First of all, it was advertised as a 360-degree driving range, but the grass condition in the driving range was so bad. The grass was stuttering and there was a lot of sand. When I made the reservation for Golf Now, it was informed that it was a driving range BOGO, but there was no time to ask anywhere. So I just paid for both boxes.

2. The cart road was under construction and the water was accumulating, so I had to go back, but the problem was that when I was forced to enter the fairway due to heavy rain, the warning text kept ringing. What should I do in this case? No one told me. There was heavy rain on Hole 6, where the cart route was closed, and I was evacuated from the trees for more than 30 minutes.

3. The lawn condition of the fairway itself was excellent and the course was exciting.

It took me quite a while to get to the clubhouse and "Panda Lake."

And the middle food and beverage stand was not open, only a water purifier with only lukewarm water.

The progress of the previous group was too slow, so I waited for more than 10 minutes every hole, and when I asked the passing host, I was even advised to "have some time and enjoy golf."

4. There was a locker room, and I was allowed to take a shower.

But the water smelled bad of the sewer... I really hope you check it out.

Course is in excellent shape and play was a a good pace. No issues encountered and definitely will be back within the next two weeks! Restaurant staff, and all the staff, were accommodating and friendly. Was a great day and made some new friends.

Loved this course. Very well maintained. Got my first ever hole in one on the 11th Hole. Greens are fast. Well maintained fairways and tee boxes. Will def be back again. Its only 20 min from my home.
