Panther Lake at Orange County National

Positive experience with some areas to improve.

Playing conditions were very good considering the amount of rain recently but compared to other courses we played we didn't get the value we hoped for due to the listed cons.

Pros - Great layout that offered risk reward, extensive practice facilities, helpful staff, decent selection of apparel at pro shop.

Cons - No prior notification that greens were aerated, practice green closed, restaurant closed,

1. First of all, it was advertised as a 360-degree driving range, but the grass condition in the driving range was so bad. The grass was stuttering and there was a lot of sand. When I made the reservation for Golf Now, it was informed that it was a driving range BOGO, but there was no time to ask anywhere. So I just paid for both boxes.

2. The cart road was under construction and the water was accumulating, so I had to go back, but the problem was that when I was forced to enter the fairway due to heavy rain, the warning text kept ringing. What should I do in this case? No one told me. There was heavy rain on Hole 6, where the cart route was closed, and I was evacuated from the trees for more than 30 minutes.

3. The lawn condition of the fairway itself was excellent and the course was exciting.

It took me quite a while to get to the clubhouse and "Panda Lake."

And the middle food and beverage stand was not open, only a water purifier with only lukewarm water.

The progress of the previous group was too slow, so I waited for more than 10 minutes every hole, and when I asked the passing host, I was even advised to "have some time and enjoy golf."

4. There was a locker room, and I was allowed to take a shower.

But the water smelled bad of the sewer... I really hope you check it out.

Loved this course. Very well maintained. Got my first ever hole in one on the 11th Hole. Greens are fast. Well maintained fairways and tee boxes. Will def be back again. Its only 20 min from my home.

This was a well conditioned golf course with an interesting layout. Based on tee selection, this course could be as easy or difficult as you want. Practice facilities were amazing. Staff was very friendly. Will definitely play here again

Great course, great layout! Greens played a little slow and a bit inconsistent, but it is summer in Florida. Otherwise pace was great, and staff super. Would recommend playing anytime!

Both Courses at OC National are excellent!! Greens were not perfect , but it's August in Florida. Great place to play, eat and test your skills. I drive a hr past 50 courses to play here.

Course was in good condition given the time of year in Florida

Some really tricky holes that make you think. Course in very good condition, staff excellent.
