Are you travelling by car or golf cart? And where are you starting out from?

If you're coming by car, the best bet is to enter at the gate opposite Morse Blvd, (I think it's the one marked Country Club Hills although it could be Orange Blossom Gardens) go through the gate and you'll be on Boone. That goes straight up the hill to OBHCC. By golf cart, come across the golf cart bridge and go left onto Paradise Drive. The turn right onto Wales Plaza which turns into Vermont Ave. At eh end of Vermont turn left onto Lester. Just come across 27/441 and head up the hill toward the water tower. Keep the water tower in site and you can't go wrong.

I thought it was very nice too. The Chili was pretty good. The shrimp and cheesy grits were decent. We had never been to the original country club but I felt they did a great job renovating this one.

I thought it was OK. Nothing to write home about. However, I believe they have the nicest pool around. Disappointing that the waterfall has been off the two times we went this week.

I agree. The waterfall would have looked better running. I think they did an outstanding job on the pool.

Waiting for them to reinstate the all-you-can-eat crab legs they had before they closed for remodeling.

I tried OB today for lunch. The restaurant is certainly an improvement over the much need renovations that the old place was in dire need of. In my opinion the renovation is "not over the top" but nice. We sat in the front room and it looks no different than it was before except it is cleaner. The chairs at the table in the front room were like an iron scroll caf chair. They were already wobbling. Tables were used banquette tables with table cloths draped over. Take a close look at the rest of the "new" furniture, good but by no stretch top shelf. I had fish and chips. Cost $12.95. Waitress mentioned something about advertising in the newspaper because that used to be the specialty when Chip ran the restaurant. Well it is OK - didn't hold a candle to what it used to be. Waitress told us it was happy hour and the price of a Manhattan was $2.50. When the bill arrived it was $3.50 with apologies for misquoting the price.
I liked it. Glad it is here. I only see the WOW factor if you are comparing it to what was there in the dying days. If you compare to Evans Prairie or Bonifay I say it's in third place for food and price. |

Here's what's cool about Orange Blossom. At how many executive courses can you just go across a street for lunch or dinner after a round? De La Vista to Tierra Del Sol comes to mind. Walnut Grove and Briarwood to Lopez. No El Santiago restaurant anymore. But now Hill Top is added to that mix.
