2/19/2011 - great shape really nice staff best course we played. Posted by Pat (Finleyville, PA)

2/18/2011 - Good course and good starter. Not to much back ups Posted by Gatze (Zutphen, NETHERLANDS)

1/14/2011 - Friendly staff, good practice facilities. Good layout. Resort courses need to repair divots, pitch marks and especially rake the bunkers more often as the "holiday golfer" seems to have less respect for their courses then they should. Posted by Stuart (2070 Johannesburg, South Africa)

12/22/2010 - This course is beautiful. The best of all is unlimited afternoon golf. It is quite a challenging course. The GPS system on the carts work very well. Posted by RC (Canda)

12/22/2010 - Course was much better than anticipated. It was challenging but fair. If you kept the ball in play you were able to score. Great choice for 1st day of trip. We played it twice instead of playing the other course at Orange Lake. Posted by Neil (Canada)

12/11/2010 - Wonderful course, my wife and I both liked it so much we changed our itinerary in order to play it again! Posted by Tim (N. Olmstead, OH)

11/20/2010 - Good shape, killer Burmuda. No club house. Posted by Paul (Canada)

8/26/2010 - Great course. You've got to hit it straight and work your shots. Posted by Vance (Pittsburgh, PA)

4/14/2010 - Tough track, very narrow. Mediocre condition. Posted by Christopher (Bethpage, NY)

4/12/2010 - Surrounded by condos. A bit overstated in the brochures. Food and beverage services were by beverage cart only. A nice course but a little disappointing after the build up. Posted by Dale (Flushing, MI)

4/10/2010 - Good course, much better condition than first course on property. Would play this twice instead of other course. Posted by Mike (Mainville, OH)

3/18/2010 - Nice course, friendly staff. We liked both courses.
Posted by Philip (Highland Heights, OH)

3/18/2010 - Excellent golf courses, both the Legends and the Reserve. Would play again. Posted by Thomas (furlong, PA)

3/2/2010 - Played it the first day. Good course. Give it a 4.
Posted by Stanley (Charles City, IA)

2/26/2010 - Did not like having the condos that lined the course so close to the fairways. Posted by Peter.

2/19/2010 - Tough course, houses close to fairways on some holes. Fair condition especially considering the cold weather. Pro shop and starter were good but they moved our tee time up 20 minutes, which left no time to warm up and I wasted a range token. Posted by Charles (Stouffville, Canada)

2/19/2010 - Very nice course, challenging but fair. Weird they don't take cash here though, we don't use credit cards so that's an inconvenience. Staff friendly, we enjoyed the round. Posted by Ken (Otsego, MI)

2/12/2010 - Nice open layout. Fun course but not overly difficult. Posted by John (Martins Creek, PA)

2/12/2010 - The one week trip that you planned for us was just perfect. Had a great time, and will be doing this again in the future. Posted by Maurice (Mississauga, Canada)

2/12/2010 - Great place, outstanding layout with grade changes. A MUST play when in the area. Posted by John (Martins Creek, PA)

2/12/2010 - Average. Posted by Harry (Shelby Twp, MI)

2/11/2010 - From 1 to 10, it's a 9. Posted by Jerry (Wyomissing, PA)

2/9/2010 - Both courses were fantastic. Great shape and great layout. Staff was super. Top quality and would make it a point to play here again next year. Posted by Dane (Saline, MI)

2/6/2010 - Great golf course. Conditions were excellent. I am single handicap player and my partner was a senior player. We both enjoyed it and were challenged without being over penalized when we made a mistake. I would highly recommend it and would have played it twice that day. I played the Reserve first. It was OK but it does not comapare. Posted by Mario (Shaker Heights, OH)

2/5/2010 - Very nice course, great staff, and good condition. Would recommend and return. Posted by Jamie (Wolverine Lake, MI)

2/5/2010 - By far the best kept course we played in the off-season. Only course that spent the money and time to feed the dormant grass in the rough. Lush fairways and perfectly maintained greens. Course was packed but moved from hole to hole with ease. Highly recommend and will return. Posted by Jamie (Wolverine Lake, MI)

1/28/2010 - We had a great time. Everyone was VERY nice. Thanks very much. Posted by Jerry (Clayton, DE)

12/24/2009 - Beautiful course, clubhouse lacks ammenities. Posted by Wilfred (Brookfield, IL)

12/24/2009 - Very nice course. Great condition. Can score well on this course. Posted by George (Big Pine Key, FL)

12/24/2009 - Absolutely beautiful course. Conditions were excellent. Course was challenging. Definitely play this one again. Posted by George (Big Pine Key, FL)

12/12/2009 - A nice course on highway 192. First time we played this course and it was a really nice experience, we will definitely play here again. The greens were firmed and fast. The course was overall in good condition. Posted by Bengt (Svedala, Sweden)

12/7/2009 - The course was perfect and all the staff very helpful so a big thanks to Orange Lake Reserve. Posted by John (Lanshire, United Kingdom)

12/6/2009 - Always a favorite, and a must play. Palmer Course, bombs away with the driver and just a great course. Posted by Harold (St. John's, Canada)

11/5/2009 - This was the best golf course I have ever played. The people were great. I will play this golf course again. Posted by Judy (Huntsville, AL)

10/27/2009 - Beautiful course and facility. Very scenic and a little tight. Posted by Mike.

9/10/2009 - Our favourite course. Loved the wildlife. Posted by Ron (Mississauga, Canada)

6/19/2009 - Always a great course. Posted by Rick (Sarasota, FL)

4/19/2009 - Great course made me play a lot of different shots. Used every club in the bag. Staff at the course was awsome. Posted by Vance (Pittsburgh, PA)

4/11/2009 - Enjoyed the course. The staff place was joy from the beginning in checking in to driving off. Posted by James (Flowery Brach, GA)

2/14/2009 - Orange Lake Reserve was a nice course. Not overly challenging (16 handicap). Winter conditions for sure but it was a cold week anyway. Would definitely play it again. Price was right through Tee Times USA. Posted by Richard (Yapank, NY)

2/13/2009 - This was the most challenging and a true test. We rated this as one of the best around. Posted by Don (Avon, IN)

2/8/2009 - I enjoyed the Reserve course much better than the Legends because it forced you to play shots! Posted by (Warren, OH)

2/6/2009 - Excellent course, cold morning with frost delay. Posted by Darren (Lancaster, KY)

2/6/2009 - One of nicer courses we played. Greens very challenging with undulations and very fast. Really enjoyed playing. Posted by Carl (Homewood, IL)

2/5/2009 - The Legend course at Orange Lake was great. Starters were super. Fun holes. Posted by Steve (Rochester, NY)

12/24/2008 - Played both courses. Both excellent. Could use a beverage cart. Everything course related top line. Posted by Al (Van Horne, IA).

12/19/2008 - Challenging course. Posted by Michael (Niagara Falls, Canada)

12/4/2008 - Enjoyed but think I would try the Legends next time.
Posted by Don (Houston, TX).

11/28/2008 - Excellent. A sure bet to play again. Posted by Steve (Port Sydney, Canada).

11/11/2008 - Brad and I played the course. We had to leave to take a Disney ticket back to his wife and got back to the course an hour later. They worked us in. Nice course, pretty good shape. We were joined by a single from Boston (visited there last year). Quite an enjoyable course, plenty of water holes, requires some decent shot management. Posted by James (Wichita, KS).

10/28/2008 - VERY TIGHT COURSE! Would not play this one again. Out of bound stakes were two feet off houses. No room for error. We played with someone who drove his ball over the houses and into the front yards at least four times. Try Legends instead.
Posted by Josslyn (Lancaster, PA).

10/16/2008 - Great course - very forgiving from the middle tee boxes. Posted by Michael (Riverhead, NY).

9/18/2008 - Very good shape. Staff was very pleasant to work with. Would play again. Posted by Terry (Middletown, IN).

8/29/2008 - The course was in great condition and the staff was very accommodating. A real value for the price. Posted by Thomas (Edison, NJ).

6/27/2008 - Course was very busy due to the Legends being closed. Didn't expect homes to be as close to the fairways. Problem with my booking but a very helpful lady sent us out asap while she sorted out the booking. Some of the greens very bare in places, otherwise good course. Posted by John (Renfrewshire, United Kingdom).

4/29/2008 - What a change from Legends! The course needed water badly, and maintenance was lacking. Tee boxes looked like they had been shelled by the military. Sand traps were hard and needed to be tilled. Probably would be okay for a late day scramble. One of our groups was visited by the "Beer Fairie", a rental resident leaving, providing them with leftover brew. Bonus!!!! Posted by Anthony (Troy, MI).

4/25/2008 - No GPS, no hole layout on the tee boxes, not even a course layout on the scorecard. Probably will not return to these courses. Posted by Brian (Bellingham, MA).

4/24/2008 - Course in good shape. A good layout. A bit pricey for a resort course. Posted by Jim.

4/24/2008 - Good course. Posted by Anna (New Milford, CT).

4/17/2008 - The course itself was average at best. The greens were grainy and the play was slow. The back nine was much more engaging and almost made up for the dismal front 9. The front nine was played between condos and resort guests were constantly walking across fairways or digging in bushes for lost balls. With no GPS in the carts a course map would have been nice. I would not play Reserve again. I was looking forward to playing the other course (Legends) and was glad to get there for our second round. Posted by Rogue.

4/3/2008 - OK course - priced higher than other courses that were in better shape. Posted by Thomas (Stony Point, NY).

3/31/2008 - Tight course as it winds in among the villas. More difficult than The Legends which is more open and prettier.
Posted by Susan (Melrose, FL).

3/28/2008 - Decent Resort course, no real complaints, but no real greatness either. Plays very short so play from tips for any type of challenge. Posted by Paul (Piscataway, NJ).

3/27/2008 - A little difficult to find from our accomodations, and I have played here before! The course, staff and fascilities were all very good......only complaint was that the greens had no hold being very hard with very short grass.......time of year???
Posted by Doug (Berrie, ON CANADA).

3/16/2008 - This course was okay. Everything went on schedule. We did get a golf cart that quit running toward the end of the round. Posted by Bob (Alliance, OH).

3/6/2008 - Excellent. Posted by Joseph (Harrisburg, PA).

3/6/2008 - Legends course was in great shape. Only thing I did not like was they changed tee times on us. We were scheduled for 7:00 and next 4 times. When we got there we were told it was 7:27 and next 4 times. Not a big deal since we got our 36 holes in, but we book 7am to make sure all groups finish 36.
Posted by David (Lansing, IL)

2/7/2008 - Very nice course. Excellent condition and challenging. Worth playing again. Posted by Barbara (Victor, NY).

1/14/2008 - Great golf course. Appreciated the nature setting and the challenge offered by the golf course (cypress, pines and many sand traps). Posted by Rachelle.

12/20/2007 - Great course. Great staff. Posted by Frank (Cheswick, PA).

11/19/07 - Good and fair, but at times a challenging course. Nice and close to everything. Good value. Posted by Robin (Canada).

11/19/07 - Course in good condition for the time of year. The front nine has narrow fairways lined with condos so you need to be hitting straight! Back nin fairways are wider with less encroachment of homes. Posted by Paul (Bethlehem, PA).

11/05/07 - Enjoyable experience. Very nice course in good conditon. Posted by Steven (Venice, FL).
