Some great views and challenging golf to be found in this little gem of a track. Recommended!

We played the Legends Walk course at Orange Lakes twice in one day. Once at 8:40 AM and once at 7PM. Both rounds were booked via GolfNow app. I rang ahead as I was unsure where we should go to check in as it is a huge complex. Terence was an excellent host and was standing outside the pro shop at 8:30 AM to welcome us. He also gave us a free club hire ticket when I mentioned we might be back the same day to play again in the evening.

The course is very pleasant to play, especially if you have younger golfers in your family as I do. Lots of wildlife such as cranes and vultures to be seen as you make your way round. The fact that it is floodlit makes it even more accessible - we didn't need the lights until the 8th hole for our evening round and they were not on when we needed them, however they switched on after about 5-10 minutes and enabled us to complete the course. I would say I enjoyed the evening round more as the temperature was more comfortable.

Overall playing this course was a thoroughly enjoyable experience for both myself and my 12 year old son. Club hire was $15 each - I was given a 12 club full set and my son was given a 5 club junior set. I didn't want half the clubs in the bag since this is only a par 3 course but Terence explained they had to be hired like that and since we had trolleys no problem. Each round came in at around $25 for the pair of us so given that we had free club hire for the evening round it was extremely good value for us as well. Golf trolleys (not carts) were also included so all in all a good deal for Florida golf I think.

We would play here again when we are back next time - perhaps trying the slightly longer 'Crane Bend' course instead.
