Greens a little bumpy. Must have been airriated recently. Best course for the money 💰 under $60 . I'll be back.

Great Deal , Great Course!

Always a tuff round at the Cat! Enjoy the course more each time. Greens were sandy, it Florida in summer. 18 holes $70 with free lunch. One of my favorite places to test the game. Orange tees were plenty! Great layout!

One of the best courses in the area.

If you haven’t played Panther Lake and you really should. Currently parts of the property are under construction such as the practice putting green and chipping area but the course itself is wonderful. The greens were fast and tee boxes and fairways were in excellent condition. I enjoy Panther Lake more than Crooked Car because there isn’t as much sand. However both corses are excellent.

Tough, but well maintained course

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.

Slow play

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.
