RCI Christel House Golf Tournament at Orange Lake Resort
Saturday, June 15, 2013
For the eleventh year, Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort hosted the RCI Christel House Open. This fundraiser golf tournament helps support the Christel House mission of helping children around the world break the cycle of poverty.
Played at the Orange Lake Resort 18-hole, Arnold Palmer-designed Legends golf course, this tournament event is part of the RCI Christel House Open which is the largest multi-day charity golf tournament in the world. At 14 tournament sites—11 at US golf courses and 3 in Mexico, the United Kingdom and South Africa—golfers were teeing it up for the benefit of the more than 3,000 children of Christel House, this past Monday.
Golf at The Legends at Orange Lake Resort
Whether a golfer is part of the Christel House fundraiser tournament, or just at Orange Lake Resort to enjoy a family vacation or a golf outing, the 7,072-yard championship course is a favorite among players of all skill levels. Built in 1998, the course features Floradwarf greens and Bermuda fairways.
Designed as a Par 72 course, the front nine are a Scottish-style links golf experience while the winding fairways of the back nine are lined with pines, oaks, and blooming flowers, reminiscent of a Carolinas-style course.
