Great Golf at Orange Lake - Orlando

Orange Lake Resort in Orlando Florida is every golfers dream. It has two excellent 18 hole courses - The Legends and The Reserve course. Then you have also got the Legends Walk, which is Floodlit (A lot of fun playing at night) and the Crane's Bend course. I did like the Lake nine before they changed it to the Cranes' Bend course, but there were quite a few golf balls hitting villas, and event worse, cars on the road on the other side of the villas (It is now a par 3 instead of a par 4).

The Legends course is great, and designed by a true legend in Arnold Palmer. My favourite hole is probably the 10th. It is a fairly wide driving hole, but the second shot is great. Water in front and bunkers at the back. The green is shallow and slopes from back to front (can be a bit scary if you are long). I haven't played the Reserve course since it was re-designed, but eagerly waiting for my trip in a few weeks time to play it. They have got two driving ranges. The new Reserve range is now floodlit with a short game area and putting green also floodlit. I am in heaven. For the fun element, they have two 18 hole Putt-Putt courses, which are a lot of fun.

The pro shops have got a good selection of clothing and the staff are very friendly. I have played golf with a couple of them over the years. The best part is when you return and they remember your name. It is a great feeling, and that is what good customer service is all about. I am counting down the days until my return to

Orange Lake

. It is such a big place and is always a great holiday. If you get a chance, definitely go and play the courses.
