The best public course in Orlando area

Links style course with humps and bunkers that catch wayward shots. The landing areas for drives are fairly generous. Greens are very fast with moderate slope and undulations.

A must play in the Orlando area. Orange County National has ability to house you for golf getaways.

Great practice area!!!

Great place to play

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed playing Panther Lake. The back nine was definitely tougher than the front! There were a few greens where the pin placement was absolutely nasty. Those greens gave us a good laugh! We didn’t get to play the entire course the last time we were in Orlando because of a thunderstorm so glad we finally got to do it!

Yardages

It's always good condition & facilities but need shorter ladies tees. I play the White tees and felt like I was hitting from the ladies tees.. I'm all for moving up but they don't put the tees on the boxes they belong.... makes the yardage on the card messed up too....not a complaint.

First Timer

First visit here. What a beautiful facility. Crooked Cat was not hard, but very enjoyable.

Practice facilities are amazing.

Out of state pricing is too high. Makes me want to stick to South Carolina (Myrtle and HHI) who does not have out of state pricing.

Crooked Cat pace of play

The course was way overbooked. 5.5 hour round sums it up. Waited after tee #2. Saw one Marshall at the green of number 1 and didn’t see any Marshall after that. Really disappointed!

Confusion re layout of range

We enjoyed the course and would play it again. We were a little confused where to go to hit practice shots at the range and if balls were supplied. We didn’t think the signage provided clear instructions. However, it’s worth it overall.

Everything about the course was outstanding.

The only concern was lack of drinking water

on the course.
