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.

Great condition
The course was in fabulous condition considering the complete lack of rain the last 4 weeks.
Great course
First time I have played this course in 25 years, I will definitely be back to play, first class driving range, chipping and putting areas, the course was very fun to play with really no boring holes, fairways have plenty of grass along with the tee boxes, greens rolled true and fairly fast. had a twosome in front of us that held us up and we were the first foursome off that morning, go figure.
Slow pace but we were the problem
Course is amazing, greens immaculate. Loved every part of the layout. Got paired with a couple guys on vacation and they were at a PGA tour pace. I blame our group. Staff is super friendly and professional. Look forward to trying again without a hangover 5 stars.
Sunday morning golf ⛳️ round
This course is excellent! 100% recommend to play there. I will go again this month.
Pace of Play was 5.5 hours.
Always a great time playing OCN, but the pace of play has gotten out of hand on both courses. They need a ranger that can actually help push the slow groups along.
Course was in great condition!
Good to Play, but…
The Greens were sandet. They should say it, before paying. Therefore, the course was not in a good shape.
Played Crooked Cat.
Starter was great.
Greens were a bit spotty, but overall good.
Happily play there again
Best Value for the Price
This is by far the best course in the area, a professional tournament course at a better price than most "top" courses nearby. On top of that, a great crew and a great restaurant. You won't find a better deal
Always a great choice
I’ve visited OCN for twenty years staying a week at the lodge each time. I love these two courses and play them whenever I have a chance. I didn’t make the full week trip this year but was in Orlando with my son and a couple of friends and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to play Panther. It’s a challenging but fair course. The practice facility is one of the best in the country. Looking forward to playing OCN for many years to come.
Actually played Crooked Cat
Absolutely great course. If you’ve got a mid to low handicap, you should play these two courses.
Great course and layout
Great course and layout overall, the range may be big but from what I saw of it I wasn’t super impressed, the on course facilities were out of order to include water. Need to address it before the hot summer months.
