About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 7350 yards
Slope 139
Rating 76.0

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.

Rain check issues

We booked this through Golf now. On the seventh hole, we were completely rained out with bad lightning in the area. The Pro shop said we had to get any kind of rain check through Golf now. But nobody at Golf now has responded and this is very disappointing.

Great experience

Played a fun 4 hour round about 830 today. The staff was friendly and the course didn't disappoint. Conditions were excellent despite lots of rain yesterday. The course is friendly off the tee, and I would do better with some course experience next time. The included lunch was a nice bonus! I will be back.

Always a pleasure

As always staff is awesome, some slow groups ahead but the Marshall was on top of them, #9 hole is back to normal. The rough was a touch long, but expected on a challenging course, ob was very long. Best I've seen panthers condition in the last few months.

I will say the greens were fast and slow, ball seems to decelerate quickly on some greens, others it would just roll roll roll.

I'll chalk this up to summer conditions.

And to all the other people playing..... REPAIR YOUR GREEN DIVOTS!!!!!!

I generally fix at least 2-3 divots every green wheni walk on, but every green had dozens of divots that needed fixed, not a mantainence issue, but a player issue, just repair your divots!!!!

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! 😂

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.
