Orange County National — Crooked CatWinter Garden

The Crooked Cat is Orange County National's more open, links-influenced layout - rugged native areas, wide driving zones, and an exposure to wind that transforms the challenge when Central Florida breezes pick up. At 7,025 yards it plays shorter than the Panther Lake but demands different skills, particularly in approach shot selection when the pin positions are tight and the wind is sideways. A regular qualifying site for USGA and state events.

Crooked Cat opened in the late 1990s as one of two regulation eighteens at Orange County National, a 900-acre facility that also carries a nine-hole executive course.
