Great course

Played crooked cat before and needed to try panther, and wasn't disappointed. While I prefer crooked cat, panther lake did not disappoint with layout and course conditions minus one of the 5s that was shortened to a 3 from fallout from a hurricane. Everything else was pristine and world class including the other 2 in the group who were current and former employees. Will play again when coming back to Orlando in Feb

This course is a must play

Wonderful condition.

Played afternoon. Finished round just before sunset. Disappointed that club house closed when we completed round.

11/11/2024 Review of Orange County National Golf Course

Course was a 9 out of 10. Only issue some casual water in the fairways (two holes). Greens are second to none traps well manacurred Staff extremely friendly.

Don’t play until water is gone from hurricane

Water is still on course and staff has “fixed” one hole by making a par 5 into a 3. Nobody told us this change before booking the tee time or at checkin. You found out about the change on hole one with starter.

Great Spot

Love OCN, play there 3-4 times a month on both course. I prefer Crooked Cat over Panther Lake but both are 5 stars. Great courses for their value and pace is always good!

Tough but fair

Couple of weather related issues affecting some holes, but overall a scenic and challenging golf experience.

Top Shelf

A vacation outing with adult son. Could not have been much nicer. Felt welcomed right away by the bag guys. Pro shop was well stocked. We rented clubs. Starter was great. Cart girl came around a few times.

Played with a nice local who knew the course so that helped. One par 5 was shortened to a par 3 due to damage from the 2 hurricanes. A couple of fairways had some ponded water, but minimal impact to play. Conditions otherwise were very, very good. Bunkers and greens were great. Pace of play was terrific, finished in 3:45.

Great course

A nicely maintained, nicely laid out course with with no houses that interfere with play.

I do wish that range balls were included, even if the cost to play was a few dollars more.

I look forward to playing the course again!

Had a great day and played in 3.5 hrs. Course is still dealing with damage from storms and 6 continues to play as a par 3. Greens rolled well and we had no complaints

Nice track!

Coarse was in nice shape considering it just was hit by a hurricane. Unfortunately, several holes were modified due to flooding.

Panther Lake Course

Considering the recent passage of hurricane Milton, the course was in very good condition. Par 5 #7 had to be shortened to a par 3 because the fairway is still too wet, but other than that the course was in very good shape. Greens were in good conditions and rolling at moderate speed. Great layout that is fairly generous off the tee, but strategic tree and bunker locations make you think twice of using driver on every hole. I enjoyed it and will go back.
