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.

Good day!

The course was in really good shape. The greens weren’t cut in the morning so they were a little grainy and slower than normal. But we did play on Monday after a Holiday weekend so it’s understandable. The staff were great as usual, plus it was so nice to see a cart girl early in the morning on a Monday. I would definitely recommend OCN!

Panther Lake is always a good choice

Panther is always a god choice to play when deciding between courses. The course is always in above average condition and this week was no exception. The layout yields lots of opportunity for scoring without being a push over. I always love playing here.

Great Course

First time playing this course. Won’t be the last. Very nice course with a great layout. There were some overly wet areas thanks to Ian and Nicole and the greens were a little slower than I expected. Pace of play was a bit slow as well but was made aware of that at the pro shop and they offered me the option of playing Crooked Cat. Since CC was cart path only I decided to stick with Panther Lake. Glad I did. Will definitely be back.

Lightning Round!

Our 3some was first off at sunrise and we finished in under 2 1/2 hrs. We actually had to wait on a couple holes while they replaced the pins, or finished mowing the green, but not for long.
