Measuring 6,505 yards, The Reserve at Orange Lake highlights the harmony between the perfectly manicured greens of the course and the carefully preserved surrounding wetlands home to a variety of native plants and wildlife. Strategically placed bunkers and water hazards challenge golfers as fairways wind through woodlands of native oak, cypress and pine marshlands.

Florida course architect Mike Dasher renovated and redesigned the original Joe Lee layout into a revitalized golf experience. The par 71 Reserve at Orange Lake Resort is one of the best values of all Orlando golf courses. While not as notably acclaimed as the Legends Course at Orange Lake, the price is right at The Reserve Course.

Vast improvements to the layout and course conditions have made the course even more challenging than before.

Nice Course in the Shadow of The Legends
Overall rating
 
4.0
Our group had a chance to play both The Legends and Reserve courses at Orange Lake. The Reserve was a nice course, but it is clearly in the shadow of the magnificent Legends course. The conditions were very good for the Reserve course, but the atmosphere and course design wasn't there. Too many condos become an eyesore and pace of play was an issue with some hackers in front of us. The staff was very friendly. We'll be back to play The Legends, but may pass on The Reserve.

Better Golf Courses

The course was in ok shape. Too many condos lining the fairways which took away from the experience. Play was slow but there are far better golf courses to play in Orlando.

Excellent Layout
Overall rating
 
4.5
I was impressed by the excellent layout. Some long hitters might not like the tips at 6600 yards, but I never play the tips anyways. Good condition. Not as glamerous as top Orlando golf courses, but a great value.

Unique Layout
Overall rating

A good course with a unique layout. As an average golfer I preferred the Reserve course over the Legends course at Orange Lake. The Legends course didn't justify the substantial price increase.

Course was in good shape. Played Legends last year and Reserve this year. Legends was overrated in my opinion. Reserve course was a nice surprise.

Nice course with smooth greens. Pace was slow. The rest was great. Nice course! Not as long as other courses in Orlando, but I don't have to worry about playing from the tips.
