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.

Brutal for Summer

Course was in good shape and provides plenty of challenges for every golfer. The group in front of us held us up for the front 9 but the Marshall spoke to them and the sped up(somehow). Then the Marshall tried to push us when we were a little behind them but not slowing anyone else behind us??? Marshalls need to understand that you can't play golf quick in 100 degree weather!!!

Make time to explore OCN.

OCN is golfing heaven. The facilities are expansive and in wonderful condition. The Panther Lake course is fun with some modest elevation changes. The greens are by far the best in the area.

Played the Panther Lake course early this morning and course was in good shape. Tee boxes were trimmed nicely with no dead grass. Lots of unique holes with plenty of changes to test your game. Greens were in great shape but VERY slow.
