Plan your round at The Reserve at Orange Lake

Check in at the golf shop at least 25 minutes before your tee time (the policies page also mentions 20 minutes, so plan on the earlier one). Tell the gate attendant which course you are playing and your tee time so you are directed to the right village. The golf shop in the Marketplace area handles check-in for The Reserve and Crane's Bend.

The Reserve has a relaxed dress code. Denim, cutoffs, sandals, flip flops, metal spikes and athletic cleats are not allowed.

A maximum of two players share a cart, and groups of three or more need additional carts, which may carry fees. Cart operators must be 16 or older with a valid driver's license. Non-golfing riders pay a rider fee, are limited to one extra cart per group, and are not allowed before 3 pm.

A full driving range and practice area is on site, open in the daytime and lit for night use, with the McCord Brown Golf Academy on the range.

The golf shop rents TaylorMade premium sets (with balls included) and Tour Edge sets (no balls). Rentals are first come, first served and cannot be reserved in advance, and a credit or debit card or room account is required.

Groups are limited to four players and fivesomes are not allowed, to keep pace of play moving.

Tee times can be booked online up to 30 days ahead or by phone up to 90 days ahead. Cancel or change at least 8 hours before your tee time; late cancellations and no-shows can incur a fee, and booking fees are non-refundable. If you choose to play in bad weather at check-in there is no rain check; if weather arrives mid-round you may get a pro-rated rain check, and twilight rates are not eligible. Groups are capped at four and fivesomes are not allowed. Orange Lake courses are open to the public as well as resort guests.
