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.

Not is good Shape

Panther is not in good shape. Fairways and tees boxes are pretty rough and the greens are way to slow and bumpy. Go somewhere else

Course never disappoints!

As always, these courses at OCN are in the very best condition possible considering the weather & time of year.

Pace of play was awesome (one of the first tee times out)

Greens rolled true, Tee boxes were in great shape & the fairways were amazing!

Overall one of the best courses in the area.

Keep up the great work OCN!

Exceptional Golf Course

Panther Lake is one of the best courses in Cebtral Florida and a must play for all golfers.

Unfortunately, with Crooked Cat currently closed, pace of play was a little slow.

Great course

Had a great day's golf on a fantastic course.

Everything was in good condition for the time of year, fairways nice and dry despite all the recent rain. Greens in great condition and very challenging.

Brilliant value for money, would definitely return

Terrible conditions

They’ve lost the fairway on 9, turned it into a par 3 and that tee box is completely uneven. Every green had poorly cut cups, burned edges. Rough and fringes have been mowed too short and they are all degrading. They’re trying to water their way out of the problem, but at the end of the day it needs to be shut down to recover. Very sad to see such a prominent course with a great history in this bad a condition.
