Not great

Course wasn’t in great condition. Greens were furry and really, really slow. Tee box grass was not mown. Fairways were in good condition but not firm.

Range was in bad condition. basically hitting out of sand and rough.

Not really a fan of the course. Maybe was the tee set up but hit the same club into every par 3 but one. Trees come into play on shots hit in the fairway on many holes.

Great course in great shape

Crooked Cat is in really good shape. Tough on a windy day. I think the restaurant is ground under repair.

Great track. Played much longer than what's on the card, not sure that course length on the card is accurate. Highly recommended.

All ! Expected!

Treated nicely at bag drop and in pro shop. Practice green good. Starter was pleasant and we got off on time. Greens good. Fairways had some brown spots from the heat but overall good. We'll worth the price.

Great Course, Great Value

Played Panther Lake with some buddies at $65/person resident rate from GolfNow. The course was awesome and in great shape. Really can’t think of any detractions and look forward to coming back to play Crooked Cat.

Panther Lake has a great mix of challenge and forgiveness so I think it’s suitable for intermediate to advanced golfers. Beginners might find some of the holes long and about half of the holes are such that if you hit an errant shot, don’t bother looking for them because the foliage is too thick.

Tough, but fun!

Super fancy clubhouse and setup on the way out to the course. Staff was nice and quick with my check in. Had to pay for range balls so no warm up for me lol As for the course, it was tough! Greens were actually slower than I anticipated, especially on a high level course like this. Overall, the course layout was challenging and it was not a “fun round” in terms of my play. The group in front of us was sloooow. Four guys and they all seemed to be novice golfers. As for me and the threesome I was a part of, we were waiting all day. Nonetheless, not the courses fault! Check out crooked cat if ya get a chance, it’s a tough spot!
