Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge

Orange County National has some great tracks out there to choose from. Panther is my favorite of the two championship courses. Just a beautiful layout with picturesque mature trees, foliage, and wildlife. Dont let the pretty face fool you though! The course is a tough one! Tee boxes are well maintained, but will lead you astray with the angles! One must be confident with their line off the tee (Which is usually not aligned with the face of the tee box). Staying in the fairway is key, because while there is space off the fairway in the rough, the undulation and thickness of the rough makes it very very tough to approach the green from. The greens rolled true, giving you faith in your speed assessment with the flat stick. Ii enjoy Panther alot and consider it one of the top municipal options in the Central Florida area. If you get a chance to play it, dont hesitate. It will be a good business decision!

Awesome as always, the only issue is the putting green is being renovated, but Panther Lake is in excellent condition.

No relief as a two-ball playing behind two slow-playing 4-ball groups. No ranger activity on the course. Otherwise, enjoyable, taking 4+ hours.

Starter notice we were a 2 some and a foursome was on the first tee with 4 open Holes in front of them.

He escorted us to the first tee and informed the 4, we were playing through. They never saw us again. We played 18 in 3 hours. That’s how it’s done.

Played this course while on vacation and I couldn’t have asked for a better course!! Every part of the experience was great from the range , to the carts being more luxurious than my car. The carts have GPS and have areas where it will shut off if you enter those boundaries. If you are looking for a course where you want to really see how your golf game compares this is the course.

Course was almost perfect the first time I played it. I was surprised at the dirt spots on the course in the rough. Fairways were great; and the tee boxes were not the best. Greens were fine. They still had scarring from being punched. The greens rolled fine. Pace of play was excruciating at times. We actually caught the group in front of us in a tee box and they would not let us through. There was not a group holding them up. I watched a guy walk off steps to putt. Ranger spoke to them; but it was still slow. I would definitely recommend the course; but hopefully you want get out behind slow play.

Playing in FlorDuh during the summer you have to put up with the heat. There needs to be more drinking water on the course. The beverage cart only came around once and that was on hole 2 which is my luck usually.

It would be nice if OCN still provided a couple of water bottles in the cart coolers like they used to do. I wish they would also bring back the ranger that came around with cold towels.

Always a great time playing OCN, hot or not.

The course is very well manicured, moderately difficult course. If your forte is you hit the long ball well, you’ll do well.

The course was beautiful and was a lot of fun to play- challenging holes with elevation changes. It is a well-designed course where you are surrounded by the beauty of nature.

The staff keep the course in good shape and only added to the pleasant experience.

Course was in great shape. I definitely play it again. I like how every hole looked different. You approach shot better be on point.
