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.

One of my Favorites!
Every time we play here, it’s Amazing! Great Staff! Proshop moved up our tee time because they had open tee times in the afternoon. So many courses won’t because of the GN hotdeal/discount price. Love the Range to warm up. Course was in great condition. Tee boxes were good. Fairways are always nice. Greens were good for Florida summer conditions. Wish we could play here more but it’s usually just the summer/discounted price season for us! 😂
Sunday morning Golf Round
Excellent course. 100% recommend this course to anyone. It’s super nice.
Will play again next time in town. Was pleasantly surprised at the overall quality of the course!
I will be back
Despite having one of the most up and down rounds of my life, this course was a joy to play and made me wonder if I was even in Florida when seeing some of the holes, especially due to the elevation changes and design of the course. Great track, if I could give it 4.5 stars on condition I would, but I would have to admit I’m nitpicking there. I will definitely play this again.
Great Course
Had an awesome time out on the course. Such a fun and well-designed layout! The staff was super friendly and helpful from start to finish. I especially appreciated how many of the holes had access to the halfway house. Huge bonus! Can’t wait to come back.
Favorite
I love this course! It presents a challenge even from the forward tees but it’s very playable. Wish I could play more often but it’s quite far from my home. Friendly accommodating staff too and beautiful facilities.
TOO SLOW!
Over 5 hours to play 18 holes in July in Florida is not a great experience.
Very nice place, well staffed
the course was in excellent shape. The ninth hole was cart path only as the fairway was recovering from a near death experience 😁. rest of the course was in excellent condition. The greens rolled well with some challenging (to me) breaks).
Course marshal was great and kept play moving with a humorous demeanor. Starter also did a great job.
The other course, Crooked Cat was closed for maintenance, which indicates they are serious about keeping the courses in good condition.
I had a good time and would be happy to play again.
Good conditions, friendly on course staff
the course is very nice. Fairways and greens were in good condition. Holes were interesting with lots of bunkers and dog leg holes. Course marshal was great - he kept people moving in a friendly way. The other course, Crooked Cat, was closed for maintenance, which at least shows theey are serious about maintaining the courses.
The advertise their driving range as the largest in the US. I didn't visit the range as teh guy at the bag drop told me i had to get a pin number to get balls at the range. IMO you cant be a “high-end” course and charge for range balls, but perhaps there was a pin on my receipt and i didn't check, nor ask (in my defense it was very early in the morning😁).
i would definitely play here again if in the area.
Great value fun course
First time playing at Orange Countty. Massive golf complex. Friendly staff. Panther course was an excellent condition. Fast screens, plenty of sand traps, and I’ll have adequate sand in them.. fairways aremanicure very well. Aside from a hole number nine. I believe the fairway is in pretty rough shape aside from that I will be back.
