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.

Staff… friendly and helpful. Only played 9 holes (time limited) was joined by a member. the overall condition of the course was good, the speed of the greens were excellent. the practice area was large and in good shape. The cart has GPS. Overall the best public course that I have found in the Naples area. play now i'm sure it will be total private in a few years.

Phenomenal shape, good price in the afternoon

Greens were great, fairways were good. I drove an hour and a half to play it and didn’t regret it for a second. The pace was just good, as there was one slow group in front of us with a hole-ish gap, but it was still around 4:15.

I found an afternoon tee time for a good price as a single, so I rated the value based off the rate I paid. I wouldn’t strongly recommend it for 260, but the 95 I paid was absolutely fantastic.

Great course, very well run

I really like this course. Wide fairways, but it can play very long from back tees (they have 5 sets of tees for all abilities). Lots of rangers keeping you updated and making sure pace of play is on target. Very friendly staff and good practice facilities. Food/drink cart came around a couple times if we needed anything. Also, gators.

Hidden Gem at Panther Run

Superb course 40 minutes North of Naples. I thought the reviews were good before I played, but the course was so much more! The staff was excellent from the bag drop, to the pro shop, starter and on-course cart person. The conditions of the course was phenomenal. Tee boxes were perfect, the fairways were firm, the rough was what it was supposed to be - rough, greens were firm and fast, sand in the bunkers were soft and consistent. The practice area was really nice with a large putting greens and two practice short game greens. Nice mix of challenging holes and a couple of holes to catch your breath. Homes were on the course but never in play. I saw numerous gators which made the day even better. Do yourself a favor and play Panther Run, you won't regret it.

Our Favorite

Out of 5 courses we played, Panther Run was definitely our favorite. This is a scenic course that's in great condition. Exceptional practice facility, really nice bar/restaurant looking over 18th green. Staff is friendly and professional.
