Panther Lake at Orange County National
About
Two 18-hole courses rest on the 900-acre retreat that is all about golf -- not condos or summer homes. Panther Lakes is the flashier of the two designs at Orange County National, most say, because no two holes are the same. The playing surfaces are lush and the topography is so varied in some areas, some have a hard time believing they're in Florida. The architect made good use of the rolling meadows, grasslands, wetlands and lakes. Visually rich elements saturate the 7,295-yard design.

Played Crooked Cat.
Starter was great.
Greens were a bit spotty, but overall good.
Happily play there again
Best Value for the Price
This is by far the best course in the area, a professional tournament course at a better price than most "top" courses nearby. On top of that, a great crew and a great restaurant. You won't find a better deal
Always a great choice
I’ve visited OCN for twenty years staying a week at the lodge each time. I love these two courses and play them whenever I have a chance. I didn’t make the full week trip this year but was in Orlando with my son and a couple of friends and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to play Panther. It’s a challenging but fair course. The practice facility is one of the best in the country. Looking forward to playing OCN for many years to come.
Actually played Crooked Cat
Absolutely great course. If you’ve got a mid to low handicap, you should play these two courses.
Great course and layout
Great course and layout overall, the range may be big but from what I saw of it I wasn’t super impressed, the on course facilities were out of order to include water. Need to address it before the hot summer months.
Greens were slow and very poor support staff.
Need more beverage/food staff and have the grill open at the turn. It wasn’t like there was nobody there. A lot of players this day
Greens not up to standard
Beautiful day. Got paired up with a ranked 16ro. Fun to watch. Ranger was out multiple times to try to keep it moving.
Green we’re in very poor shape. Need rain? Greens fees not in line with conditions. Rest of course was in range of standard
the tooth course was a great time!
i had a lot of fun playing the OCN tooth course. i had an afternoon booking on OCN panther lake and i decided to book the tooth as a hot deal with a coupon. it was a great warm up for the big course and i would come back again if i came back to florida.
great time at OCN panther lake
i had a fun time at panther lake. this was my second time playing at this course and i was happy to get an amazing hot deal with a coupon to drop the price a considerable amount. the course was in nice shape overall, but the grass around some of the greens wasn't amazing. i heard there was a lack of rain this spring and many of the courses i played had the same issue. all in all it's a great course and i would come back again 100 percent.
I played these courses for the last 15 years and of course the price has gone up considerably but if you wait till after one, the price drops considerably and it’s worth the value very much though
Great course
Panther Lake was is in excellent condition for this time of year. A bit expensive but if you can get a hot deal it's worth the money.
