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.

Great course, lousy staff
The course was over seeded so cart path only and pace of play followed that.
As usual we got bad service from the ranger about speeding up because we were supposedly 2 MINUTES BEHIND. I can’t tell you how many times they’ve told us that. I’ve played about 50 rounds out there over 30 years and still the same treatment. And cart staff was rude upon arrival back at clubhouse. Most staff is not customer oriented and it shows.
Real Golf Course
This course and Crooked Cat are by far the best courses I have had the pleasure to play.

One of my favorite tracks in Central Florida
Amazing course layout, conditions, pro shop etc Love playing here.
Just had a slow round this time round, waiting on every hole for the group ahead of us. They placed a single and two threesomes behind all the foursomes and told us it’s just going to be slow because it’s Sunday and we are a threesome. Pro shop guy even offered me to go out alone and it wouldn’t be slow. That doesn’t show proper management skills on how to operate the course. Everything else was fine

Typical Daily Fee Facility
Played in the late afternoon. Lots of divots and pitch marks, and unraked bunkers. Several greens had weeds removed and sandy low spots where they used to be.

Friendly, helpful staff
My son and I enjoyed our round of golf today at Panther, Orange County National. When we got to the starter at Panther he asked us if we’d like like start on 10 because there was a slow outing of 20 out in front of us. That was the way to go and we had an enjoyable round in 4 hrs! Everyone was very helpful and the course is awesome! Thanks!

No Red Ladies Tees
The women playing were struggling with the Tan Tee Box @5400 yd tees… next shortest were Whites at 6000 yards, too long for many Seniors.
We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We value our customers' opinions and will take your comments into consideration to improve our golf course experience. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Tough Track
Having played here a number of times, I can promise you Panther Lake is a great test of all your golfing skills. It’s a tough but very fair course that’s in very good condition. A few tees are a bit worn in places and the fairways have a some really thin spots but overall PL is in good shape. The greens are smooth and consistently quick but not unfairly fast given the noticeable undulations in many of them. Although our threesome waited on most shots, pace of play (4:20) was not unreasonable for a weekend round in this area. Overall, I don’t hesitate to recommend Panther Lake for a challenging and enjoyable round of golf.
