Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge Undergoes Major Renovations

Winter Garden, Fla. --- Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge in Winter Garden recently completed a major renovation of its facilities and new greens on Orange County National’s Crooked Cat golf course. Tano Malentin, general manager at Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge, said facility renovations included new interiors and furnishings to transform the restaurant into an English Pub and Grill, new seating and new signage. Major improvements have also been completed on Orange County National’s Crooked Cat golf course. Malentin said all new greens at Crooked Cat were sodded with Florida-friendly Champion Dwarf Bermuda grass to mirror the bent grass greens popular in northern states. Malentin said Orange County National still offers the largest practice range in North America. Renovations included an expansion of the golf pro shop into one of the area’s largest golf retail stores, Malentin added. Michael J. Neumann, retail and marketing manager at Orange County National, said the 5,000 square foot facility now stocks Titleist, Cobra, Ping, Callaway, Adams, Cleveland, Taylormade and Mizuno equipment and accessories and promises to match any price for any item in the pro shop. “We are an authorized retailer for every product on our sales floor,” Neumann said. “And where golf course pro shops usually charge a premium for equipment, we do just the opposite---if a customer finds a lower price on any equipment we sell at any other authorized retailer, we will match the price at the time of purchase or within the following 30 days as long as the original sales receipt is provided,” Neumann said. Orange County National’s pro shop also offers custom fitting and demonstrations on most models. “We’re hosting Manufacturer Demo Days on a regular basis,” Neumann said. Mizuno factory representatives are scheduled to hold demonstrations at Orange County National on Nov. 3 and Cleveland representatives are due on site Dec. 8, he said. Clothing lines at Orange County National include Hugo Boss, G.MAC by Kartel, and Under Armor.
