Panther Run Golf Club
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.

Beautiful place
This golf course is one of the best in Florida. Pristine fairways and greens.
Will Definitely Play Again
It was my 1st time playing the course, and it was worth the hour drive to get there. The staff was congenial and professional, the amenities, including practice facilities, were excellent, the proshop was clean and nicely laid out, and the track itself was a good one.
Overall the course was in great shape, greens rolled well, fairways left nothing to be desired, and the native fauna captured our attention. It wasn't a difficult track from the old guy tees where I played from, but I could see how it would be quite the challenge feom farther back. Definitely worth the time and money!
Good morning,
We're ecstatic to hear that you had a fantastic experience at our club! Our team strives to provide exceptional service and amenities, and it's wonderful to know that we hit the mark. We look forward to your next visit and another opportunity to impress you.
Kind regards,

Really Pleasant Experience
My 1st time playing this track. Perhaps from the tips or further back it would be a more interesting track, but from the #4 tees where this old guy played, it was attractive but almost every shot in on the para 4s was a 7 or 8 iron.
The staff was awesome. The facility has multiple practice areas, allowing you to get prepared for your round if you like to prep. The greens, fairways, tee boxes, everything was in tip-top shape. We'd surely play it again even if the track itself was fairly blah from our tees.
Good morning,
Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great time at our club. Our team works hard to create a memorable experience for all our guests, and we're glad we could make your visit special. We can't wait to see you again soon.

No Aeriation alert.
loved this course, although not alerted about the course aeriation. Cant wait to return when it's grown in.
on another note, I had contacted you about a credit for a pre-paid round at The San Carlos Golf Club in Ft. Myers, Fl. where 2 of the 4 players were not able to complete the entire round. they had to leave due to sickness. had to leave prior to finishing the front nine. the course was not able to issue a rain check and I was told to contact you. I did and the agent told me that I would be receiving a credit. at this point I still have not been credited.

Expensive wilderness
Panther run is a great course to play. Gives you plenty of room and plenty of challenges especially if you like, driving the ball.
The course is well groomed!

One of the best in the area.
I live in Naples, and this is always my go-to course. Beautiful course, carts in great shape and very low almost non existent wait times at the tee box. Most reasonable pricing in and out of season.
Good morning,
We're so glad you appreciated the natural beauty of our course! Nestled in such a picturesque setting, we strive to offer not just a great round of golf, but also a serene escape into nature. Thank you for highlighting this aspect of your visit.
