The Reserve at Orange Lake

3-star: Good course – an enjoyable test for your game.

Est. 1982

The Reserve at Orange Lake: at the well spread out resort of Orange Lake, you'll find two 18-hole courses (Legends and Reserve) and two 9-hole courses (Crane's Bend and Legends Walk).

Although not amongst the elite championship courses of the Orlando area, the always busy and popular Reserve layout provides a good test of golf in a resort-style setting. A mix of Floridian wetlands, small lakes, ponds and pine forest line many of the holes, while many others are flanked by small apartment buildings, on one or both sides.

Bunkering is often quite limited along the nicely undulating fairways, although one or two smallish sand traps threaten alongside most of the greens. Some of the fairways present tightish drives, with holes like the long par-5 4th dangerously flanked by a large lake and wetland area. The greens here will thoroughly test your putting skills with several two-tier putting surfaces and others that slope prodigiously from front to back.

Stay&Play at Orange Lake: luxury onsite accommodation available, see Where2Stay section below.
