Great Value for Residents

Great value at the resident rate, with how expensive golf has gotten in FL it is nice when courses take care of the locals. Panther lake is a great course, fairways and greens play great even if some don’t look good at times. Staff is great and pace is great. Always a great time!

The course has a good layout, with some tough par 4 playing from the Orange tees.

Greens were not in good condition. Many greens were not running true with what appeared to be clover patches causing uneven surfaces. For a course that promotes itself as a top course that advertises they have hosted a LIV event, I expected far more.

priced too high for quality

from tee boxes that were more dirt and weeds than grass to diseased greens that did not roll true irs difficult to justify a $100+ greens fee. very disappointing.

Great track

Had a blast playing this course. Played with a threesome from Newfoundland and they helped me appreciate the wildlife of this course and its layout. No two holes are the same and all represent a challenge. I can’t seem to score well so will have to keep playing it to figure it out. The only issue was what I believe Poa Annua was growing on the greens so that did cause some putts to go offline.

Windy weather
Used cart

They've lost the greens completely

Cannot believe that they charge full price for it in this condition. Massive patches of invasive grass on every green, they look like maps of earth, the secondary grass is over a 1/4" taller than the actual green and makes putting a joke. Far worse than if punched and they're charging full price. Site says they are closing in may for a green overhaul, but they should have done in 2 months ago. Shame on OCN for not informing people and charging full price.

Pristine course

Panther Lake: Beautiful course, very challenging. Liked that they provided coolers and the beverage cart was seen twice during my round. Course was in immaculate shape, barely noticed any flaws on greens/fairways. Course was difficult even though water was rarely in-play. Lots of hills and interesting lies :). I’d honestly put this course in my top 5 of the most beautiful and challenging (nothing beats the black course @ Bethpage). I recommend Panther Lake over all 3 Disney courses. It’s a little cheaper @ Panther and honestly it’s in better shape. Have fun !

Love This Course!

We played this course twice during our recent trip to Orlando. The staff is friendly and actively work to keep up the pace of play. Course is in great shape and the restaurant has a great selection of foods and drinks. I highly recommend.

Great layout

All the holes are thoughtful and keep you interested. The greens had some different grass patches but the roll was as smooth as a pool table. Fairways were a touch long in some spots but overall this was a great course. Not a ton of water but plenty of fun. The pit of town price is a little steep but it isn’t too far off for range balls and 18 holes. This should be a must play for anyone that is in the area.
