What is going on?
My in-laws have been owners at Orange Lake for almost 15 years. I have come the final few weeks of January for the last 5-6 years, playing both the Legends and the Reserve. After playing the Legends course this year I couldn't help but think what the heck is going on. The green fee price seems to have come down a bit but the club rental rate seems a little steep. For starters it was $50/round for a set of rental clubs. They are a nice Titleist set, except for the fact that one of my wedges and my putter were both replaced with a Bazooka brand club. When returning the set at the end of the round even the guy who cleans them asked what was going on and questioned it. Also, after playing the first hole and going to record my score I opened up the scorecard only to find it has already been filled out by the prior group. To make the round worse the "tee times" weren't enforced and the starter was just sending people out immediately after the group in front cleared driving distance. It caused a complete backlog on the majority of holes and either we were waiting for the people in front or feeling rushed by the people behind us. Finally, the course prides itself on being in great condition but the Reserve which costs almost half the price actually was in better shape. If this was a course that could be played for 60 - 70 bucks with rentals I probably wouldn't have taken the time to write this review. The fact that it is over $100 per golfer, and yet they still want $8 additionally for range balls, with the experience I had made me feel like something has gone horribly wrong with how it is being ran. I'd much rather spend the extra $10 the greens fee came down this year vs last to have a clean scorecard, a set of clubs that actually go together (especially if you are charging $50/round for them), tee times that actually mean something, and fairways/greens that match the marketing around it vs save a few bucks and overpay for a round at a course that prides itself on being of championship caliber when in reality it seems to be run and kept up like a $40 per round golf course.
Get rid of Paul behind the desk
First you should never have a crabby jerk like (paul) greet you when you’re playing the legends at orange lake ! Place like this should have friendly accommodative people who treat the guests like kings.
Because of this guy I will make sure that nobody plays there ever! The way he treated me and my two 15 year olds was just plain crazy !
The course was in terrible condition! Hard to believe this is an Arnold Palmer course.
Orange - Get rid of Paul. (Works in pro shop).
Very Poor for Expensive Course
Legends is one of the worst higher priced courses we've played. Half of greens had sand dressed areas to cover damage, and we moved ball several times to put. Fairways and boxes in poor condition. Layout is Ok, but several greens are extremely small, starting with #1. Overall, poor value for a very overpriced Legends course
Pleasant round, Small greens, a but overpriced
This is one of 2, 18-holes course at Orange Lake. There is also a 9-hole course that's lit at night. The Legends course is a Palmer design and you can see why. Most of the trouble - traps and water - are on the right side of 5he hole or green. With Palmer a draw golfer, that works. For 5he majority of players - aim left!
The greens were surprising in how small they are. No large, two-tier complexes but some undulations throughout. Other than the sand on the greens, the putting was nice.
The fee was $90 so a bit overpriced for an average course. But it was a pleasant round so few complaints.
Terrible
This course is terrible, especially for the money they charge. We paid $50 to rent junk clubs. The course is in terrible shape. There’s actually crab grass growing on several greens. There was trash strewn about the edge of the fairways on some holes. We followed a very slow foursome that had more interest in partying than golfing. I’m talking heavy drinking, yelling, acting like fools and playing very loud music through a Bluetooth speaker. I’ve played at way better courses for a fraction of the cost. I honestly can’t believe this course is associated with Arnold Palmer’s name. Huge disappointment and a complete waste of money.
Nice Course, Poor Condition
My wife and I were staying in a time share at Orange Lake with friends. Two of us booked a time on the Legends. The layout was decent. The back nine was especially picturesque. Unfortunately, the course conditions were less than ideal. The grass in the fairways was sparse and did not support the ball well. The traps were inconsistent, many having far too much sand. The worst part was the condition of the greens, especially on the front nine. There were numerous tufts of weeds (what appeared to be a type of poa, along with other varieties) that had invaded the greens, making them bumpy and difficult to putt, as well as aesthetically unpleasant. I was hoping the poor condition of the putting green would not be a harbinger of those on the course; rather it was a foretaste of things to come. The best thing I can say is that the pace of play was speedy. This course is not worth the nearly $100 greens fee. It’s an extremely poor value! When I pay that much for a round of golf, I expect the course to be in good condition.
Need a starter/ranger
I played this course as a single. When I arrived for my tee time there were about 4 groups on the first tee with no starter in sight. I asked one of the cart boys and he said there should be a starter so he apparently was not informed. It was a free for all to try and figure which groups were going out. I got lucky and a nice couple let me play with them. Pace of play was also an issue with no ranger. If this course is charging 60+ dollars there has to be better managed. Conditions were good but management was bad.
Excellent Value with Golfnow
This is a excellent course. Tough but fair. Everything in super condition. Without Golfnow it is a bit pricey.
No 19th hope and greens need help!
Not a bad day of golf but if this is considered their premier course in needs a lot of work. For the price I would expect the greens to be in better condition. Pace of play was good but there is no grill or restaurant at the turn or 19th hole. Head to the Ale house when you finish it’s right outside the gate.
disappointed
I have play the course a number of times before and I love it. This time I found the green sprayed and very fast. The fairways where not as good as before and I did not enjoy the round like I did before!!!! The layout I love!!!!
Convenient and fair place to test your game!
Priced in the range expected in Orlando. Convenience made playing this course a good idea on our last day in Orlando. The greens were smooth but colored to make them appear greener than they would otherwise be. enough challenge on the course to test you but sufficient ways to play around the difficulties. Long and wide enough to make using the driver a good idea. Nice place to play without driving too far.
Worst Experience Ever
No amenities at the club house - could not even get a cup of coffee. Practice tee and balls in sad shape....Not sure where the challenge is with this course. Was told beverage cart had everything when asking about drinks. We did not see the cart until the 7th holes. Can't believe this has Palmer's name on it.
Nice course
The course was in good shape and the staff was super friendly. The layout was nice and challenging. I would definitely play this course again.
Not great
Worst greens I’ve played on in a long time. Greens are rock hard, like trying to stop a ball on a pool table. Yes the greens are fast but that’s only because they are hard sand with very little growth on them. Not worth the money, play Providence for less money and the greens great.
Other than pace of play course was great to play fairways in great condition greens running true and fast
Steve ryder
Course was in good shape greens were very good and fast. Layout is nice and would play a few holes diff if I go back
