The Reserve at Orange Lake Resort

Overall horrible experience. Show up to the course, guy in shop acted like he would rather be at the dentist. Asked for range balls, this is when we find out range is closed. Then he tells us it’s cart path only. I asked if there would be a beverage cart on the course, dude replies “probably”. Nope no beverage cart. Had to skip group in front of us because it was obviously 1st time on a golf course. Wearing swimming trunks and tank tops. Unbelievable. It’s a shame because it’s a cool little track where your iron game is tested.

Great course in a nice setting, fairways and greens in good condition. Nice design with some challenging holes which make you think and offer risk/ reward decisions. Lots of water/trees so if you are wayward, take plenty of golf balls!

Challenging layout. New management has brought course back from the brink. Fun to play and close to Disney.

Great scenery very similar to the Disney courses but less expensive. The course is in reasonable condition but much better than when we played there last summer,. There are some interesting holes which make you play strategically rather than just reaching for the driver off the tee, so you get to use all the clubs in the bag. Look forward to playing there again soon!

The Reserve Course was nice. My son and I had a lot of fun. Several holes were lined with condos on both sides of the fairway. Dangerous for wayward drives. Solid conditions...greens were well kept. Would have loved to try Legends next time (their other 18 hole course). Solid value overall!

The biggest disappointment was the beverage cart passed us on the 1st tee box and we asked her if we would be seeing her again. She said yes so we waited, seeing that we hadn’t even started. She never came back and the water coolers were empty on the course. We tried calling the pro shop but they didn’t answer the phone. So no beverages whatsoever and 94 degrees. Costed a small fortune on the turn for us to get a cooler and drinks and snacks.
Besides for that my only negative statement would be that the greens had this weird combed look, probably from aeration. The course was challenging and greens were medium speed. I’d play again, but come prepared to not have any beverage person.

This isn't our 1st time playing here, this year it is. The course was in really good shape. The greens had minimal bare spots, rolled well. The fairways were in good shape too. Overall, the course played tough. It was windy, but just added some teeth, especially on the par 3 5th hole which was playing 188 from the markers. We were behind a twosome which were a little slow, once we passed them ( they played 9 holes only) we had no groups in front of us. I can't wait to go back, maybe play the Legends course. We have seen a significant improvement over the past 8 months. The management team sure has the golfers in mind now, they ensure that the round is enjoyable, so thank you to them.

Pace was extremely slow. Group in front of use quit after 12 holes. It takes only 1 slow group to tie up the whole course. Greens were fast and in good condition, fairways and Tees not so much. Looks like brand new carts.

Hi. Had a great day on the Reserve course. For first time players, the scorecard does not have a map of the course. No GPS on the carts and no signs either on the tees. So...be sure to grab a players yardage card in the Pro Shop. There are hidden hazards out there. Thanks for a fun time.

Played this course for thw first time. Front nine plays shorter than back and perfect for an entire round. It gets you warmed up good. Looks very open but you will lose a few balls if you are not careful to place the ball. Tricky and fun. We played as a foursome and we were impressed and will be back. Great guy in the proshop easy in and out well organized.

The Legends course is the nicer course (although if you see my review on that...it was not a pleasant experience!) We played this course early in the morning to start our 36 hole day. It is a nice course to start your day. It is not too terribly difficult and it plays pretty short. Although it is short it can play difficult due to good bunker and water placement. All in all we enjoyed our morning here. It is not the best and it is far from the worst course we have ever played in Orlando. We would come back here for sure.

Course is very nice and pace of play was pretty good. Staff is very friendly. The greens are fast. This is early spring so the fairways are not lush and the rough is not very thick. We enjoyed the round.

Pace of play slow on back nine. No Marshall moving people along.

We played with 2 gents and had lots of fun, greens were really good, played in 4 hr 5 min, held up a few times.
