About
Located in Ave Maria, Panther Run Golf Club is less than 30 minutes from Naples but it has a much more secluded feel. The course was built with a strong dedication to preserving the landscape's beautiful natural features and significant environmental resources, even as residences started being developed. An abundance of lakes and waterways characterizes the golf course, all of which are filled with alligators and other native wildlife. It is nearly impossible to play a round without spotting a gator. In addition to the 13 holes with water, there are more than 60 bunkers strategically placed throughout. The challenges are balanced by generous greens and wide-open, player-friendly fairways. Panther Run G.C. also boasts an expansive practice facility that includes five practice greens, a short game area with two sand bunkers, and an aqua driving range.

Weather conditions
We played knowing there was a chance of rain. By the 14th hole the rains came. But the rain came with thunder and lightning. My disappointment and concern was that the golf course sent out no warnings or did they attempt to take golfers off the golf course. This showed a lack of concern for golfers safety.
Good morning,

The safety and well-being of our guests are paramount, and we will investigate your feedback to address any issues and ensure a safe environment for all our guests.

Great experience.
I mistakenly booked a Wednesday am tee time when I meant to book for Saturday. They were booked for Saturday but fling me a slot. Played 18 on a Saturday at 8:33 am in 3:45. The course was in impeccable shape. I loved the layout. Lots of water on either side of most fair and and tons of bunkers, but plenty of room to find the fairway. I wouldn’t call this course tight, but there is danger if you tend to find it. Plenty of wildlife as well. Saw a black bear up a tree on 17 and a few alligators in the ponds. For ~$70. Can’t beat it. I will absolutely be back.
Good morning,
We're so glad you appreciated the natural beauty of our course! Nestled in such a picturesque setting, we strive to offer not just a great round of golf, but also a serene escape into nature. Thank you for highlighting this aspect of your visit.

Rained Out
I was doing great until they blew the horn due to thunderstorms. I was cheerfully given a rain check.
Will play again soon, hopefully, with better weather!

Punched Greens
Unfortunately, we were not informed that the greens had been aerated within the past two weeks. They were quite dry and hard, and it appeared so they hadn’t been properly watered or rolled after aeration. It was disappointing that we weren’t informed of that when we made the booking. That said, it is a fun course, and there are some challenging holes, and some challenging greens that are expansive and undulating. Every staff person with only interacted was professional, pleasant, and respectful. Pace of play was average. I will return later in the summer after the greens have had a chance to recover.
Good morning,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand the importance of clear communication regarding course conditions. We will work on improving our communication channels to ensure that all our guests are well-informed before their visit. We would like to invite you to email us directly at info@hampton.golf to further discuss your concerns. Your satisfaction is important to us.
