The Reserve at Orange Lake

Now when you visit Orange Lake Orlando, you'll have a brand new golf experience waiting for you. Architect Mike Dasher transformed the former Resort Course, designed by Joe Lee in 1982, into this all-new, exciting golf experience. The Reserve at Orange Lake is now an 18-hole, par 71 course winding through a myriad of water, sand and rolling greens. It was named The Reserve at Orange Lake to highlight 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.

Improvements to the layout and course conditions—including new water features and bunkering—make the course even more challenging than before.

The “Hole” Picture: What's different about this course

The design and routing of 7 of the 18 holes were changed and improved.

Hole 5 on The Reserve is one of the most challenging holes. It's been changed from a long par 4 to a long par 3. From the championship tee this hole plays to nearly 215 yards.

The design of Cypress 9 remains unchanged, although it now plays as hole 8 on The Reserve. Orange 9 plays as hole 9 on The Reserve, although the design of this hole has been changed significantly.

Holes 10 and 11 have been constructed near the location of the former Resort Course driving range and former Cypress 1. These two newly designed golf holes—each of them a par 4—require accuracy off of the tee as well as a strategically placed second shot.

One of The Reserve's most unique holes is hole 12, located close to where Cypress 3 was once played. This newly designed par 3 is the shortest on the course, requiring an accurate tee shot for par. Surrounding this green are two deep bunkers to the left and water hazards to the right and front of the green.

Hole 15 on The Reserve has a new fairway bunker as well as “false front” to the green. The changes to this green complex provide you with many options from which to attack the pin. There's even an opportunity for you to finish your round with a birdie!

Be sure to check out the new practice facility, which includes a lighted driving range with an expansive hitting area, a putting green that's lighted for nighttime practice, and two chipping greens—one that features a bunker for golfers who'd like to work on their sand play. The Reserve practice facility is also home to The McCord Golf Academy at Orange Lake. The McCord Golf Academy is recognized by Golf Magazine as one of the Top 25 Golf Schools in America. Golf Magazine has also recognized Rick McCord, Orange Lake's Director of Instruction, as one of the Top 100 Instructors in America.
