About

Type Public
Par 72
Length 7350 yards
Slope 139
Rating 76.0

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.

Yardages

It's always good condition & facilities but need shorter ladies tees. I play the White tees and felt like I was hitting from the ladies tees.. I'm all for moving up but they don't put the tees on the boxes they belong.... makes the yardage on the card messed up too....not a complaint.

Confusion re layout of range

We enjoyed the course and would play it again. We were a little confused where to go to hit practice shots at the range and if balls were supplied. We didn’t think the signage provided clear instructions. However, it’s worth it overall.

Great track- tough slick greens

Very nice track & tough to beat the value. We loved the Panther on day 1- but on day 2 we played Crooked Cat & it blew Panther away. Hard to believe no surcharge to play crooked $, and because the are priced the same- we felt crooked was far superior & one of the best public tracks for the $ anywhere in the US
