Panther Lake at Orange County National
About
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.

Too much pressure to keep pace
After three holes we were told to keep up with the group in front of us even though they were on the green on hole four as we approach the tee box
. I’d be OK if this only happened once but happen three different times throughout the 18 hole course. We never had anyone hit into us and we were in my opinion never behind pace
. Even the GPS in the cart said at one point we were only five minutes behind pace

all good
A great time on a fine course, felt a little pushed by the group behind us. We played in 4 hours, no flies on us. Prefer this layout to Crooked Cat...in fine shape,

Beautiful Course
Course was in great shape, loved the elevation changes and conditions of the greens. Challenging but fun. Pace of play was very slow waiting for 2 groups at a time at most tee boxes, with a group right behind waiting most times as well.

My favorite course
Staff is very friendly and flexible with tee times. Greens and fairways in excellent shape. They now have GPS on the carts. A few of the fairways had some standing water but that is expected because of all the rain recently. Cheaper to play on a weekday then weekend.

Even Better!
Played Crooked Cat the day before and loved it. Panther Lake, to me, is just a better all around course though. Great layout, excellent elevation changes, and just beautiful and well maintained. I can't wait to come back and play again!

Disappointed
This is one of the courses that we play all year round bcs of the obvious. This time I’m a little disappointed and here’s why. They have a new GPS system, which is great but they haven’t figured it out yet! I have a handicap and I need help getting closer to every shot. The system won’t let us get any closer than 45 yards of the green or staying in the cart path. I got to give it to the staff bcs they were trying to fix it, unfortunately they couldn’t. Hope they do figure it out for the sake of other handicap players and myself!

Course always in great shape....
Other than the green still healing a bit from being aerated, the course was in excellent shape. I do wish they would cut the rough down a bit. It slows pace of play while looking for balls that land in the rough.
