Panther Lake at Orange County National

On arrival, everyone at the club made us feel welcome. They went out of there way to inform us on everything, such as shifting our tee time to beat the weather, loaded the clubs on to carts, showed us where the 1st tee was, as well as information concerning the course. The course itself is great, tees, fairways and greens were in good condition (even though the greens had been sanded). This course is a must for golfers to play.

Greens were a bit sandy but rolled true. Fairways and rough were in great condition.

Only drawback was we only saw the beverage cart one time, and you can guess what hole. Never fails.

Greens were recently aerated, but still were in good shape. I'm not good enough for it to matter anyways. Cart path had some construction spots but nothing bad, just had to veer off a couple times. Otherwise, the course is in wonderful condition. It's a must play if you're in the area. Try go during the week day, weekends can get very busy. I went Monday morning and it was decently empty, lots of singles. Was able to finish in under 4 hrs easy.

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.
