Orange Lake Resort and Country Club

Crane's Bend - West Village is one of the golf courses at Orange Lake Resort and Country Club, a large vacation ownership property located in Kissimmee, just southwest of Orlando. The resort caters primarily to families and vacationers visiting the Central Florida theme park corridor, and its golf facilities reflect this recreational orientation. The courses here serve a steady rotation of resort guests rather than a traditional membership base, creating a relaxed atmosphere where pace of play and accessibility take precedence over championship conditions. The West Village course at Crane's Bend plays through typical Central Florida terrain—relatively flat with water hazards, native vegetation, and strategic bunkering defining the challenges. The routing incorporates the wetlands and conservation areas common to the region, with several holes playing alongside or across water features. Mature landscaping and stands of palms and pines frame many fairways, providing definition and a sense of seclusion despite the resort setting. As a resort amenity, the course accommodates players of varying skill levels, with multiple tee options allowing visitors to choose an appropriate challenge. The design emphasizes playability and enjoyment over severe difficulty, making it suitable for casual rounds and family golf outings. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse with standard resort dining and beverage service, supporting the property's broader hospitality mission rather than functioning as a standalone golf destination.
