Panther Lake at Orange County National

I normally love this place, but pace of play will always be a deal breaker for me. This is the second time we've walked off this couse. 3+ hrs for nine is insane. The most aggregating part is the ranger did absolutely nothing. There was a person in the group we got paired with that should have been removed from the course. Numerous groups complained to the clubhouse and still they did nothing. We even had a group demand to play through. If you counted all the missed air swings, they shot 400 for nine.

Second bad experience in 2022. We'll never be back. Courses need to step up and remove these people or the game will suffer. All the ranger had to do was observe 1 hole to see the problem, but instead they just ran away.

I have started realizing that going to this course just requires a mindset of slow golf. I guess the overbook the courses in peak season and I don’t see a lot of rangers around enforcing pace of play.

5 stars. - great practice area, course is pristine and Played at a leisurely pace (still finished in 3:30) -

Very nice course, well maintained and was very enjoyable round.

We had a player pull a muscle the night before and he became a rider. They placed a fourth player with us which was good. The foursome in front of us had 4 players with three of them teeing off from different tees. By the eighth hole we were finally graced with the beverage cart(she was very nice.), but the foursome put us 20 min behind pace. The here foursome left after 9 holes leaving a space between us and the group that was in front of them. Out of nowhere on the 11th hole a marshal comes out of the woods and tells us 5 was ok(only 4 we’re playing) but that we need to keep pace with the group in front. No conversation about the previous foursome causing the delay to begin with. Next hole we were waiting on the group in front finished 10 min behind total. Would have been nice if he approached us to see what the delay was instead of coming in hot and accusing us of being a problem. Other than that the course was in great shape.

I booked direct and paid over $400 for my foursome. We were rained out after 5 holes.....they would only give our/my foursome credit ($300) to use at the facility for anything up tor a year. We're from New York and don't know if we'll be back within a year....friendly staff but that appeared to be our only option?

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed all amenities of the course except the course ranger. he almost ruined the round. Our pace was steady, and we stayed up with the group in front of us, but he was ugly short and definitely not of the holiday spirit. Almost ruined everything. You could tell he loved “being in charge” The rest of the staff was excellent and the course is beautiful.

Beautiful course that doesn’t break the bank. I can’t afford some of the higher-end courses in the area, but this dropped into my range with a hot deal and I couldn’t be happier. Greens were in great shape and the layout challenging but playable. I’m not the longest hitter (280 total on a great drive), but playing from the green boxes was about right. Played with a high school kid from KY that could bomb it 300+ from the tips yet the course still seemed long at times. I think it has to be one of the best courses near Orlando! I’d definitely play again!

Course great but bar and restaurant closed for wedding.

Driving range is as big as advertised. Not really sure what a signature hole is but each hole was different from the rest. Approach shots were difficult. Saw a bobcat on the course and got a birdie on a par 3 were my highlights.

The course is in beautiful condition. The greens were excellent to putt on.

Great course in great shape. Heavily sculpted Bermuda fairways, greens may be a hybrid turf grass - I'm not sure but a different shade of green so I think I have that right. 1 complaint - the sandwiches from the cart girl are terrible, smuggle your own food out there.

When in Orlando this course is a must play! With a discounted replay, you can play both course's.

Love the course, good layout, challenging but fair. Wonderful practice facilities. I played here (Panther) several years ago and liked it then and my opinion hasn’t changed. If you’re in Orlando, I would highly recommend it. The only drawback was pace of play. We teed off at about 12:30 and our round took about 5:15 to play, which is unacceptable. AND, we never saw a ranger! Apparently, there was some type of tournament occurring but that’s no excuse. Hopefully this was an anomaly. I will be back!
