The Legends at Orange Lake Resort
Played On 03/15/2017Total lack of course maintenance of a great Arnold Palmer design!
Have played the Legend frequently for the last 20 years. It was always in pristine shape with visiting pga players in orlando frequenting it. For the last 5 years it has gone down continually with very poor management of greens , fairways and bunkers. Turf in the fairways is matted brown grass that does not appear to be growing. Bare spots are numerous .In some fairways you cant even move the ball around to find a descent lie. Greens are very bumpy with so many weeds growing on them , you have to move your ball to get a clear putt to the hole. The greens desperately need a total makeover which is obviously long over due. Bunkers have deep loose sand which makes a skillful shot almost impossible. The worst thing I see is no one working to improve the conditions! Even the driving range is not being maintained and yet they are charging exorbitant prices for a bucket of balls!
Orange lake is a quality gold crown resort which has allowed a company with either no financial ability or knowledge to manage the 3 courses on site. Shame on who ever has allowed this wonderful layout to be destroyed! There are many resort owners including myself who are very upset and are leaving the resort to play elsewhere because of the terrible conditions of their courses! Please be warned!

Played On 01/06/2014Great greens - very little grain
Greens are excellent! Fairways grass and tees are good. Lots of roll. Washrooms dirty and are in need of renovation. 19th hole is closed.

Bonita Bay East - Sabal Course
Played On 1/5/2012My favourite
Challenging. Good greens. Scenic. Fair with lots of room for good drives.
I couldn't agree more with the previous comment made with regards to poor management of the orange lake legends golf course. I would like to add that not only the legends golf course has suffered, but also the reserve and cranes Bend. It has always been considered a real treat and pleasure to play the legends golf course since it was built in 1998, the goal that I am certain Mr. Palmer had in mind. It absolutely hurts to see such a wonderful golf course go downhill as it has since orange lake turned it over to integrity. Being an owner here at Orange Lake since 1987, it was always something that not only myself, but others that have been invited to join me looked forward too. I sincerely hope that Mr. Harrill reviews these comments and makes a very, very tough decision as to how this can be changed and improved. Until then, the amount of golf our group will play on this premise will be extremely limited.
This is an accurate description of the course as of March 19th, 2017.
