Orange County Crooked Cat Golf Course

Orange County Crooked Cat

Panthers Lake and Crooked Cat, surrounded by rolling farmland and devoid of any housing, have hosted the PGA TOUR Qualifying School Finals and have been awarded 4.5 stars by Golf Digest’s “Places to Play” every year since 1999. Crooked Cat, like Panther Lake, has significant elevation changes, rolling fairways, and large, contoured greens. Crooked Cat, on the other hand, has fewer trees, wider landing areas, native heather and mounding framing the fairways, and is considered by some to be the most naturally beautiful golf course in the Orlando area. The open feel encourages golfers to grip and rip it off the tee, and there is definitely more room for error and multiple ways to play a hole—both off the tee and into the greens.

Crooked Cat, a taste of the Scottish Highlands in Orlando, is a perfect complement to Panther Lake, her sister course. Crooked Cat has its own distinct features that allow golfers to play two vastly different courses on the same day. Its open and flowing design features minimal trees, large landscaped fairways, and abundant heather grass in the rough, all with a distinct ‘links’ flavour. This style creates an atmosphere reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands, which are 3000 miles to the east. Crooked Cat is a true test for golfers of all skill levels, with wide sloping greens, steep grass and sand bunkers, plenty of native vegetation, and 50-foot elevation changes.

Crooked Cat is always one of our most popular requests for golf trips in Orlando. We love it, and being able to combine 36 different golf holes into one day is a thrilling experience.

Make sure that Crooked Cat is on the list to play for your next golf holiday to Florida.
