About
Located in Ave Maria, Panther Run Golf Club is less than 30 minutes from Naples but it has a much more secluded feel. The course was built with a strong dedication to preserving the landscape's beautiful natural features and significant environmental resources, even as residences started being developed. An abundance of lakes and waterways characterizes the golf course, all of which are filled with alligators and other native wildlife. It is nearly impossible to play a round without spotting a gator. In addition to the 13 holes with water, there are more than 60 bunkers strategically placed throughout. The challenges are balanced by generous greens and wide-open, player-friendly fairways. Panther Run G.C. also boasts an expansive practice facility that includes five practice greens, a short game area with two sand bunkers, and an aqua driving range.

Golfer Reviews
First timer and I loved it!
Love the layout of this course. Very forgiving and beautiful.
Weather conditions
We played knowing there was a chance of rain. By the 14th hole the rains came. But the rain came with thunder and lightning. My disappointment and concern was that the golf course sent out no warnings or did they attempt to take golfers off the golf course. This showed a lack of concern for golfers safety.
Panthers Run
Nice course good layout. Range balls included . Good value
Great experience.
I mistakenly booked a Wednesday am tee time when I meant to book for Saturday. They were booked for Saturday but fling me a slot. Played 18 on a Saturday at 8:33 am in 3:45. The course was in impeccable shape. I loved the layout. Lots of water on either side of most fair and and tons of bunkers, but plenty of room to find the fairway. I wouldn’t call this course tight, but there is danger if you tend to find it. Plenty of wildlife as well. Saw a black bear up a tree on 17 and a few alligators in the ponds. For ~$70. Can’t beat it. I will absolutely be back.
Good morning,

Rained Out
I was doing great until they blew the horn due to thunderstorms. I was cheerfully given a rain check.
Will play again soon, hopefully, with better weather!

Punched Greens
Unfortunately, we were not informed that the greens had been aerated within the past two weeks. They were quite dry and hard, and it appeared so they hadn’t been properly watered or rolled after aeration. It was disappointing that we weren’t informed of that when we made the booking. That said, it is a fun course, and there are some challenging holes, and some challenging greens that are expansive and undulating. Every staff person with only interacted was professional, pleasant, and respectful. Pace of play was average. I will return later in the summer after the greens have had a chance to recover.
Good morning,

Resort style with a little bit more.
The course is somewhat similar to many Florida courses offering wide fairways, large greens and white fluffy bunkers. Unlike alot of courses though, Panther Run has a few unique holes which really improve your experience. The fairways were excellent, they maintain the sand traps very well and the greens are in good shape. The practice area isn't very large, but sufficent for warming up.

Amazing!
This Course is amazing! The hospitality is as welcoming as the greens. This Course was immaculate and nothing was left undone. There were three of us and it took us over an hour from Marco Island to get to the Course but it was so worth the long drive. We rented clubs (two ladies and one man, the clubs were Callaway and very nice clubs and because of the rental, we were all given a bag from Callaway that contained six Callaway golf balls. We loved everything about the Course and the welcoming Pro Shop, we will definitely return. Highly recommended!

Great layout
I started playing this course when it first opened in 2007, it’s been about 6 years since I was able to get back again. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well the course has been maintained, it was in absolutely beautiful shape from tee box to green. I will certainly be back.
Good morning,
We're thrilled you found our course both challenging and enjoyable! Our goal is to provide a memorable round of golf that keeps you coming back for more. Thank you for recognizing the effort we put into creating a great experience for our golfers.

Great Course
Love playing Panther Run. Fairly wide open. Greens were good but had some areas of repair. Not uncommon in Fla. Includes a small bucket of balls at the range. Practice greens are in good shape. Would be nice to use the chipping and sand area to get some practice in but they are reserved for members. Played in 4 hrs on the dot. This was May 1 so lots of open tee times and the rate was cut in almost half. Great time of the yr to play here.
