The Crooked Cat Course is one of two 18-hole regulation courses at the Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge. The facility is also home to a nine-hole executive course. The Crooked Cat Course is a challenge with dramatic elevation changes and rolling fairways that are framed with mounding. The golf course has a links-style design with large, contoured greens and wide landing areas. Water hazards and several bunkers come into play throughout. There are also trees and native heather present on the course for a naturally beautiful atmosphere. Orange County National's Crooked Cat Course is favored among low handicappers due to its length and difficulty.

Crooked Cat renovation

Crooked Cat is a wonderful Track but in average condition. It's my recommendation that Crooked Cat transitions to a naturalist golf course with a Single line targeted irrigation system that can substantially shrink the irrigation footprint of the golf course. By transitioning to a naturalist style golf course, Crooked Cat will save the City water while simultaneously allowing the maintenance staff to MANICURE a smaller portion of the golf course and make Crooked Cat more competitive with similar golf courses in the Orlando area.

Way too slow

I like the OCN courses a lot, but the co dictions this time were average and the pace of play was atrocious. On the greens were different patches of grass that would throw putts offline, and all the greens were pockmarked with unrepaired pitch marks. Maybe worse, were the collars. They had small, uneven tufts of unknown grass that would catch your putter in the backswing.

Finally, and most importantly, was the pacing. It took us 5.5 hours. There are rounds on tour played faster. We don’t see a martial all day. There would be times when we finished a hole and could see 3 groups stacked up on the next hole. Waiting for every shot makes the game suck. They need to have more control. Send a martial out and make a group skip a hole or catch up.

Unfriendly

We were 5 minutes over time and the ranger came during 5 holes to us to tell us if we not speed up we have to skip a hole.
We speeded up, only to find us waiting on every hole after the flight before us.
What a waste of time and money.
Worst attitude ever

A great day/

Crooked Cat was a very scenic course. Tha fairways were in good shape but the greens had been sanded the morning of our play, it would of been nice if someone would of told us this. Not much break on the greens, when reading a break it never broke probably because of the sand.

Good course, though overpriced

Lovely course, well maintained. Fantastic practise facilities. That said I feel it is overpriced compared to other premium course in the area. For that reason will probably not return but worth playing once.
