HOLIDAY INN CLUB VACATIONS AT ORANGE LAKE RESORT, AN IHG HOTEL

The Arnold Palmer-designed layout weaves through central Florida's rolling terrain with surprising elevation changes that defy the region's pancake-flat reputation. Water hazards lurk on 14 holes, demanding precise iron play and strategic course management rather than the bomb-and-gouge mentality that plagues most resort tracks. The par-3 17th plays dramatically downhill to an island green that separates weekend hackers from players who understand how Florida wind affects ball flight.
