Panther Lake at Orange County National

Panther Lake is an "American" style parkland course featuring rolling hills and a number of elevated greens. Room off the tee makes this course approachable, but intricate green complexes with slopes and undulations make this a second shot course. Good amount of water without being involved on every hole. Greens were rolling over a 12, making for some extremely difficult putts. Pace was pretty good. We were 10 minutes ahead and still were spoken to by the ranger to pick up the pace. After only one hole on the back nine we caught up to the group in front of us and were backed up the rest of the day. Great layout with interesting holes. In addition to greens, fairways and rough were pristine.

This place exceeded my expectations. The layout, conditions, and scenery were fantastic. What a great facility as well. They have everything you could need and more. Next time around, I’d love to try the crooked cat. I highly recommend giving this course a shot

Afternoon tee time. We had a little over 4 hours till sunset so we went into the round knowing there was a good chance we wouldn't finish. No big deal. Not waiting too long on every hole on the front 9. Finish the front in 2 hours. Make the turn and the 2 groups in front of us had decided they would play together. We asked the guys what the deal was and they responded with “we all have a match together and we’re playing as fast as we can”. Kinda nuts but we called the clubhouse to get a ranger and it took them over an hour to come out. Missed the last 4 holes and as we were driving out we saw a different 8some and another 6some. Other than the lack of rangers the course was beautiful and challenging. I would play again if I can get out in the morning.

Played here multiple times per year over the last 10 years. Do not waste your time or money playing here. Called main line twice to be told no one was answering at pro shop. Told cart lady which was nice that a 6 some was playing together and a couple holes later a gentleman came out and said he broke them up. Very next hole back to playing as a 6 some. We went around them only to find a 8 some playing same hole. We will never return here as locals. They don't value what pace of play means to their customers whatsoever.

Great facility, have an amazing practice facility, great value for what one pays.

Certainly will be back

Excellent experience all around. Facility well organized with adequate staff at bag drop, pro shop check in, food/drink cart, restaurant, on course marshalls and clean up at the end. All tee times booked that day but still had a 4:15 round with only short waits at the par 3. Marshall came around every other hole and even helped us find a lost ball to keep play moving. Course was in very good shape except for tee boxes that were well worn. Greens ran slow that day. Was nice to see approach shots stick. Generous fairway widths. Holes nicely spaced out from each other. Excellent locker facility that included private showers I used before my flight home that evening. Definitely recommend.

If you’ve played before go back and play again course is much improved over the last year imo.

Green complex’s fairways in great condition

It was a perfect day. Temperature was nice, not to windy, fairways were perfect, and the greens rolled perfect. P

From start to finish, it was an excellent experience. This Panther Lake is flawless. Tee boxes, fairways, greens and layout was spectacular. First time playing this course and I rate it A+… definitely in my top 20. Kudos to all the staff members.
