Crooked Cat at Orange County National

I tried to play Orange County national crooked cat each time we come down to Florida from Tennessee. I’ve been playing it for about 15 years and have always enjoyed the impeccable conditions and challenging layout.
The Fairways provide
generous landing area in the grains, have some, but not a great deal of slope.

Crooked Cat did not disappoint by any means. The course was in great shape overall. The only negative was the fact that they had a junior tournament. Our last 5 holes were incredibly slow due to the kids walking the course in front of us along with the entourage watching them.

If they would have told us we would have played Panther Lake or another course on this date.

Un peu plus facile que le Panther Lake pour les dames mais les trappes de sable demeurent un enjeu constant. Le parcours est en parfaite condition. Ce n’est que du pur bonheur.

Course is in fabulous condition. Greens rolled true. Rough appeared to have been overseeded, long but not thick. Ranger kept everyone moving. Can't wait to play there again.

We had the first tee time so pace of play wasn't an issue. We were warned about the course conditions but they were very, very good. Greens rolled true and everything was extremely well maintained. No Complaint, will be back.

Rarely do I come down hard unless I feel it's deserved. Never during the booking phase did Golf Now state cart path only due to over seeding . I was OK with cart path only, not with trying to find my ball in the fairway every time me and my group hit. I felt I overpaid due to the conditions and being from Canada the premium on the US dollar I paid to play leaves a bad taste in my mouth. My money would have been better on another GolfNow course. You need to be more honest. That being said If you say your sorry we may be able to salvage our relationship.

The grass in the tee boxes was so long you had to hit through it on your drive. It’s never been like this so not sure what’s up. The fairways were equally as bad. Countless shots hit right down the middle were lost because we couldn’t find our ball in the tall fairway grass. Definitely not worth $100 per person will not be playing here again or recommending to anyone. Disappointing course

Was very excited to play here after watching the LIV event here in the spring. The course today was in the worst condition of any course I’ve ever played (I play a lotttt of golf). The tees and fairways were legitimately 4-5inches long. You could not tell where the rough was because the whole course was rough. It was cart path only because of overseeding and they clearly haven’t used a mower in weeks. I understand overseeding etc but this was ridiculously bad maintenance. I think the worst part was the pro shop guys and the starter (who were very nice) never mentioned anything about the poor conditions before we went out.

This is an excellent golf course. It had the best greens of the five courses we played. Although there had been a lot of rain, the course was in great shape. The over-seeded rye made it a bit more challenging, but overall very very good.

Course was in great shape and pace of play was excellent. Fantastic practice area also. Biggest issue was no warning for cart path only. Booked on line and no notice, checked in no mention and none told us when we received our cart. Made for a slow round having to carry multiple clubs to each shot.

In fairness Crooked Cat is a very nice course. We happened to play when they had done some seeding in November and it was cart path only. Course fairways are very forgiving and wide but near green traps and undulations make it challenging. Staff was very nice and overall experience very good.

The morning was cool and wet but by our tee time dry and breezy
Was informed at the pro shop that due to overseeding it was cart path only on the booking site it clearly stated 90 degree rule
Pro shop said they informed G.N.of this restriction
My fit bit counted 12,000 steps!
it would have been much shorter to walk the course
I was exhausted after this round

Always a nice course to play when we come down to Florida. Good conditions, greens were great, practice facility is first rate. If you’re not teeing off before noon, you might not get the round in! We had a 1230 tee off time and were stuck behind a foursome that was playing inappropriate tee blocks. The Marshall came by once, however, did not rectify the issue and we finished 18 just before sunset, brutal.

Teed off at 1:12 and made it through 9 holes in 2.5 hrs as we waited on every tee box and fairway. Surprising for a Monday afternoon but was impacted by the over seeding on the Panther Lakes course at the site. We were given the opportunity to replay front 9 and by the second hole we were back to standing around and waiting and decided to call it a day.

When I checked in at the pro shop was told that someone had already come in and claimed my prepaid tee time but it was sorted out fairly quickly but somewhat unnerving when there was question about being able to play.

I liked the course and would live to play all 18. Drove almost 3 hrs to play the course in a meet up with one of my friends so it was disappointing to not get the full round in but would play there again.

Would not play again in the afternoon there as the tee sheet is too packed and it limits the expereince for everyone on the course when it is that slow on a weekday.
