Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge

I don’t know what happened to the greens, but it wasn’t grass

I got the course when it wasn't at its best, and it was STILL excellent. The greens were not in good shape -- bumpy and splotched with weeds. Every other aspect of the course was excellent and in great shape, as always.

I was a bit surprised with all the patches of weeds in the green given that this is OCN. I hadn't played here since maybe Sept and these weeds were definitely unexpected. Hopefully they get it turned around. The rest of the course is in pretty good shape but the greens are where it needs to be the best shape. Surprisingly Stoneybrook West which just reopened last year has better greens.

A lot of brown beginning to appear throughout. Tees, bare spots- all appearing in last few weeks. Greens are uneven and all are experiencing some type of weed/fungus growth. On top of it, the person checking me on at the desk was rude, bordering on nasty. What happened with this place?

Coarse ok but greens in rough shape worst I've ever seen

i played ocn earlier this year and the conditions were incredible. but mid april it’s not very good. fungus all over the greens, chipping areas and tee boxes. what a bummer, and without any discount.

A must play in the Orlando area. Both amazing tracks, got 36 holes in on the day. Crooked cat slightly better conditions then panther. Replay rates available at pro shop. Delicious turkey club sandwich. Can’t wait to play again when I’m in the Orlando area.

What you get for EIGHTY dollars at Crooked Cat is 30-minute waits per hole. They’ve never attempted to solve the pace-of-play disaster that is #12.

The problem was a group of 24 they let out – likely comprised of 90% non-golfers. That’s a problem of the American golf industry, not OCN, that doesn’t restrict access to courses by skill level. So, good golfers end up hating golf.

There was no attempt to refund my money.

The recently-punched greens are covered with splotches of something green that does not look like grass.

Where I’ll be playing now for TWENTY to FORTY dollars: Zellwood, Mayfair, Ventura, CC of Mt. Dora, Redtail, Black Bear, Dubsdread, Winter Park 9, Winter Park Pines, Legends of Clermont, Wedgefield, Eagle Dunes, Deltona Club, etc., etc.

Goodbye Crooked Cat. Goodbye Panther Lakes. Goodnight Moon. Goodbye OCN.

Went w/12 yr old son. Good time, he enjoyed it. Pace was slow, but that was fine. Price for kids was outstanding at $5! We'll definitely play it again.

it appears that they aerated and sanded the greens but there was no notification of this when booking the round. I wouldn't have played this course and paid this much to play on these greens. They were basically brown and bare.

Not the best course for the money, management kill the grass in the greens. is a big sand area with a flag, they should let people know. I was looking to attach pictures but the app does not work. Please manavement publish course conditions so people dont waste money.

Took a big group to play here because I hyped it up so much from the last time I played there. The greens are completely gone, trashed and likely not to come back anytime soon. The rest of the course was in great shape but the greens aren’t. Avoid at all costs, I’m not sure with the shape they were in that would be playable for another month or maybe even longer.

It’s a great course. It’s better for Orange County residence as if I was not I’m not sure I would pay the normal rate to play here. It used to be elite, but I still enjoy the course as it is challenging.

Panther Lake is an absolute gem. Fairways in good shape, greens running fast and true. Great value for your money.

Got into the course early, good help from the field people, office staff were nice too, start playing and fairways were fine a little dry but playable, green in the other side were not playable, just been aireated and kill the grass so only left a big sand area pocked with holes and rocks and a flag. Please if you plan to aireate the golf course do 9 holes and then other 9 holes.

This was the most enjoyable course I played during my trip to Orlando.

Good course especially when it's priced below $20 for 9 holes(walking).
