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.

BIG FUN

I love this golf course and it's in great shape. If you want to take someone and have a good time play here. Some golf courses are so hard and Treeline you don't have a good time or score good. Beautiful finishing hole on the 18th.

Great value

A course which really punches above its weight. If you play on the back tees there is plenty of length, plus the greens are great. All in all a really good course and great value if you play at the right time.

Very nice experience overall

I played this course two days in a row between Christmas and New Years. It is a beautiful course and was in very good shape. Plenty of variety in length (can play up to 7500 yards) and fairways and greens were in great shape.

Only issue I had was some crazy fog on the second day. We asked if things were a “go” and they said yes they were. At least 9 of the holes were played in thick fog, and about 6 of them were what I would call blind golf (couldn’t see the fairway from the tee, couldn’t see the green from the fairway). I would think that they would offer some options for us (start later and play nine), we’ll give you a 9 hole credit on your next round if you go now) but they didn’t. Since I’m not much into complaining (especially on vacation) I didn’t say anything, but I would have felt better if they’d been proactive in offering a few options. That being said, I’ll be back. It’s a nice track and not a bad drive from North Naples.

Good course. Improvements needed

We played Panther Run last . Nice course. Great greens and fairways. However holes 14 through 18 was cart path only. Not sure why and it wasn’t because the course was wet or recently fertilized. SW Florida has not seen much rain in the past four months. My guess is that management wanted to keep the course “pristine” for both their members and the snow birds arriving after the holidays. Making the last five holes cart path only was ridiculous and considerably slowed down play.

Also the pro shop employee was not very friendly. There was free coffee but we were rudely reminded that the coffee was for members only and that we had to take a cart to a nearby building for coffee. Well we did and guess what….no coffee. Some improvements and attention in communication needed here.

Just opened back up

Love the new grass! Cart path only on 14 thru 18 due to the new sod, but not a big inconvenience.
