Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge

What Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge does

Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge (OCN) is a private, for-profit destination golf resort located at 16301 Phil Ritson Way in Winter Garden, Florida. The facility operates 45 holes of golf across two championship courses (Crooked Cat and Panther Lake) and a 9-hole executive walking course (The Tooth), supported by a practice complex self-described as the largest driving range in America. OCN serves recreational and tourist golfers, corporate event clients, schools, and junior golfers in the Orlando market, with a stated capacity of 36 holes per day and a 22,000 sq ft clubhouse accommodating up to 250 guests for events.

The company's product portfolio spans on-course revenue (green fees, club/cart rentals, Tooth Summer Pass), instruction (a multi-instructor Golf Academy under Director of Instruction Tony Keeton, with certified PGA and LPGA professionals, junior camps, women's clinics, and a Putt & Pour social format), F&B (Orange 83 Pub and Grill, The Den entertainment venue, beverage cart service), retail (on-site Golf Shop, online store, GHIN handicap affiliations), lodging (The Lodge at OCN), and event hosting (corporate outings, tournaments, catering, media/photo shoots, and the 2023 LIV Golf League tournament). Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time per-use fees, multi-lesson packages, annual subscriptions (FL Elite Golf Card at $399 new / $229 renewal, GHIN memberships), and event contracts. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the ocngolf.com website, on-site pro shop, and a dedicated event sales team; a sister-property referral arrangement with Celebration Golf Club extends catering and meeting reach.

The go-to-market combines a tourism-driven Orlando golf-vacation audience with local resident play, anchored by a tiered membership program (FL Elite) that drives recurring annual revenue and tee-time loyalty. Marketing is conducted through the company website, an eClub email list, organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, X), and high-visibility event partnerships including LIV Golf. The company is privately held with 11-50 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, and no public revenue or financial filings.
