Panther Run Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Great Course
Love playing Panther Run. Fairly wide open. Greens were good but had some areas of repair. Not uncommon in Fla. Includes a small bucket of balls at the range. Practice greens are in good shape. Would be nice to use the chipping and sand area to get some practice in but they are reserved for members. Played in 4 hrs on the dot. This was May 1 so lots of open tee times and the rate was cut in almost half. Great time of the yr to play here.

Tame the Panther
Good foursome with add on forth Charlie. Great guy. He had played Panther Run before which helped. Court was in great condition. Front nine greens have a fungus but they are working on it. Back was perfect. Played 3/4 tees which was fine but next time will play 3 tee. I'm a 10 handicap and shot 67 with my handi and net 77 so might need a little more challenge. Great value. Enjoy good pace of play.

Slow Play
Ridiculous slow play on the back nine. We waited on every shot. On the first par 3 on the back we waited 20 minutes to tee off, 10 minutes on 18, then another 10 minutes in the fairway on 18.
We saw a ranger on 10 who just smiled and waived.
The greens on the front nine are horrible, with patches everywhere. On the back nine they are better but left so long it is hard to get the ball to the hole.
I have always liked this courses but I am seriously disappointed in how poorly it is being managed.
Good morning,
We apologize for the slow pace of play you experienced during your round. We strive to ensure that all golfers can enjoy a timely and efficient round.

Nice experience at Panther Run
I’ve played Panther Run once a year as a Naples seasonal resident. It is worth the drive. I was able to get one of the reduced rates, which made it a fair value for this time of year. Course in great shape, has generous wide fairways. Traps are in pristine shape. Small bucket of balls included in price. Friendly staff before and after round.

Misleading
Reserved for 18 holes however with an extremely slow pace of play and no ranger to push I was only able to play 6 holes when I was charged for 18. Upon arrival we were told we had less than two hours to play 18 due to the closing time. Very misleading when on golf now it states 18 hole round. Listing it as a 9 hole round with half the price would’ve been more adequate. The rate to play just 6 holes is robbery
Good morning,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand the importance of clear communication regarding tee time schedules. 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.

Nice layout,..greens need some work
Played this course many times and I really like the layout. Very playable for all abilities levels. Several greens were recently damaged, guessing from the recent cold temps, and are in need of repairs. Rolled a little slow too. Would expect they would be a little faster at a club like this.
The rusty putter bar/restaurant is very nice with great food selections and good prices.
Good morning,
We're thrilled you found our course both challenging and enjoyable! Our goal is to provide a memorable round of golf that keeps you coming back for more. Thank you for recognizing the effort we put into creating a great experience for our golfers.

Private CC Quality
This course is out of the way of anywhere I go in Florida, but if I am remotely close I go out of my way to play it. The condition of the course is excellent. I get to see a lot of great courses across the county in my job and this one is one of the best not just in Florida but the country as well. The fairways are in such good shape that you feel like you are hitting off a practice mat. The greens are excellent and the tee boxes as well. The challenge with any South Florida course is to make the flat boring terrain of this part of the state interesting. This design accomplishes that difficult feat. It’s pricy. But worth it.
