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.

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
Players course
It’s such a solid layout. Just a great golf course. Greens were about 9.4 Today …back out again tomorrow on this excellent track..
No hesitation
Fantastic course and layout. Greens very consistent and on the faster side. Amazing practice areas as well. Loved playing here.
Great shape
Always in great shape. With over seed course is beautiful Greens perfect
Course was in great shape
I’ve played OCN a ton over the years. It’s in really good shape only getting better.
The course was awesome
First time playing here and would definitely go back.
First time - outstanding experience
From the pro shop to the starter and the whole course, a wonderful experience. Pace was reasonable, course in fantastic shape.
Overpriced. Nice Staff
fun course. Staff was really friendly. Unfortunately, if you’re not a resident, you pay too much for basically a Muni Course.
Greens are in great shape. Staff was very friendly. Definitely worth playing if you can get a good deal on it.
Overall really good but…
The golf course, practice facility, putting green, etc. are really good. I was told that Crooked Cat is solid as well. However, my primary complaint was that I’d hoped to grab some breakfast before my round and was told that they don’t serve breakfast. Seems like they’re missing a revenue opportunity here as I’m sure that they get asked about this daily. Kind of nitpicky on my part but how hard is it to make a bacon, egg, and cheese sammy?? Other than that, a good day 😊
Orange County Gem!
Resident of orange county for many years and had heard good and bad about OCN. Course showed up at a great price for county resident on GN. Money well spent! Staff was great and course well managed. Course is for golfers! Not much scenery just a tough course. Undulating Fairways and sand traps make you think about every shot. Enjoyed the round despite challenge! Looking forward to Crooked Cat next!
Course never disappoints
The greens were rolling true and not too fast. Fairways were great, plenty of grass to hit off of. Some of the tee boxes could use a little work but overall they were nice. The layout of Panther Lake is so much fun. Pretty wide fairways, elevation shots, plenty of water and plenty of sand to test all levels of golfers.
Course layout was awesome
Cannot complain one of the best courses I’ve played in Orlando! Tight fairways but rough is not bad at all. Challenging but very getable course.
Consistent!
This is one of the few courses in Orlando where you can almost guarantee the course conditions are going to be in great shape. I always enjoy playing here. The layout is great, and the environment is always enjoyable.
