Panther Lake at Orange County National

Our pace of play was slow as there were 3 high handicappers in my 4-some but that’s just the luck of the draw as a single. EVERYTHING else was EXCELLENT. Bag staff were friendly and helpful; Pro-shop Staff were very efficient and informative; practice range and tees were great (they do charge extra for practice balls :-(, the course was in great condition tee to green, especially for Feb golf; greens were a tad slower than I’d like but everything rolled true; course layout is very good with generous fairways and clear target lines; Rangers on course to help pace of play: beverage carts to help forget the bad shots. I can’t wait to go back.

Highly recommended if you want a more upscale course and experience.

The Pace of play is always really slow in Florida although it was slow for my standards it was better than most places in Florida this time of year. The course is i great shape.

Course was in excellent condition and a delight to play

Outstanding experience. Great layout and condition. Even with top dressing the greens rolled true. Need to come back to play Crooked Cat next time!

Course is in prime condition and layout was challenging without being extreme. Only issue is we finished just 15 holes after 4 hours of play due to slow pace. Need a ranger out there to speed things up.

Last play was in last summer. Came back during the winter time. The green much nicer. With value and condition worth better than other places.

This was my second time playing Panther Lake in January 2024. On both occasions, the course was in fantastic shape from tee to green, however, the greens were far slower than they appeared. I paid a $120 Orange County Resident Rate and had to show the pro shop the "Tee Times Notes" on the bottom of the GolfNow Reservation Confirmation page for them to honor (and/or have any idea it existed) the 2-for-1 range ball deal. I went with the large bucket of range balls so all of 4 of us could split them--in all, it came out to $140. While the course conditions definitely deserve a slight bump in the rates, at the end of the day $119 for an Orange County Resident Rate is pretty steep for a public course--even if it is home to the "world's largest driving range."

Really good layout and very well maintained course. Great round assured for all levels. Course ranger did a super job keeping pace up. Clubhouse friendly and pro-shop reasonably well stocked. Thoroughly enjoyable 18 holes..

Course much lush than at any time I remember.

Traps, tees, fairways and even the rough we’re very playable. But the greens were bumpy, slow and not close to true.

Regardless, love playing the course and they even introduced rangers which I’m for. Round took just over 4 hours on a crowded Saturday.

WOW!! The previous reviews were nice but didn't truly give this course the justice it deserved. Outstanding layout with pace of play at 4hrs. I was a single player in-between two foursomes. With that said, I really didn't have to wait that long (which was kind of surprising). Given the time of year I expected some marginal playing conditions on the course; however, the course was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. All of the bunkers were in excellent condition (which questions whether anybody was ever in them). The pro shop has ample space to accommodate plenty of guests. Plenty of parking and the driving range facility is extremely large. I played Crooked Cat the next day; however, believe Panther Lake is the better of the two tracks. Highly recommend.

Great layout. Picturesque holes. Well maintained. 6430 yards from men’s tees so a couple par fours over 400. Greens were much slower than other courses played.

Liked the layout of the course and it was in good condition. The day I played it was a PGA Demo so it was a bit hectic getting to the course. The staff was ok, not the most helpful outside by the carts. Good inside the Pro Shop. Is the course worth the high greens fee? Debatable on that one... however the overall condition and layout was good. Would play it again.

The course was in great condition and the layout very good. However, the price has gone up significantly.

This is a great place, 2 fantastic courses, Panther is really a nice layout, great people working, the practice facility is super and love it all BUT, I would play this again for no more than $100 and there is really hardly ever anything I get out of a $125+ course that I miss with a $100- course.

One of the nicest courses I have ever played. Got paired up with a older gentleman who had been a member for a long time and could not have enjoyed it more. Like having a caddy. I played great so my experience may be better than some but the overall quality of this course is hard to match.

This is probably my favorite course in Florida now. The greens aren’t as visually appealing since they are being invaded by something, but they roll nice and pure… with a proper speed as well. Great layout. Beautiful views. Everything was well taken care of. Will definitely be back

Greens were perfect, the course is manicured nicely. Staff very courteous.
