Orange Lake Resort

Experience the natural beauty of one of Orange Lake Resort's most-loved courses with today’s feature: $34 for a Twosome Package: Each Person Gets One Day of Unlimited Golf with Cart and Range Balls at Orange Lake Resorts' Crane’s Bend Course in Kissimmee ($120 Value. Good Any Day, Any Time until April 18, 2013!)

Crane’s Bend Golf Course is the newest golf course at the Orange Lake Resort in Kissimmee, Florida, which also offers three additional courses to its guests. This nine-hole, par-30 layout was crafted by Michael Dasher, ASGCA who learned the art while designing courses under Arthur Hill & Associates.

Crane's Bend was part of a fairly recent renovation that earned a finalist spot in Golf Inc. Magazine's "Renovation of the Year" award and it shows. The executive-length style of Crane's Bend, measuring 1,901 yards, means you'll need crisp irons and wedges to set up for optimal scoring opportunities on these quick greens. The course is routed around Fountain Lake, offering no lack of beauty on your round.

Fountain Lake itself boasts thriving aviary wildlife, and every hole on this track is named after a different species of bird; some fierce, like the Bald Eagle, and some graceful, like the Ibis. Landscaped with bridges, swales, ponds and various water features, these holes even seem to take on the birds for which they are named.

Don’t let this little beauty fool you: Its par-3 / par-4 configuration will demand just as much precision as any other, so don't take the challenge lightly. Head out to Orange Lake Resorts' Crane's Bend Golf Course and only go for the "birds!"
