A MUST visit track!!

WOW!! The previous reviews were nice but didn't truly give this course the justice it deserved. Outstanding layout with pace of play at 4hrs. I was a single player in-between two foursomes. With that said, I really didn't have to wait that long (which was kind of surprising). Given the time of year I expected some marginal playing conditions on the course; however, the course was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. All of the bunkers were in excellent condition (which questions whether anybody was ever in them). The pro shop has ample space to accommodate plenty of guests. Plenty of parking and the driving range facility is extremely large. I played Crooked Cat the next day; however, believe Panther Lake is the better of the two tracks. Highly recommend.

Great layout. Picturesque holes. Well maintained. 6430 yards from men’s tees so a couple par fours over 400. Greens were much slower than other courses played.

Very nice course in good condition

Liked the layout of the course and it was in good condition. The day I played it was a PGA Demo so it was a bit hectic getting to the course. The staff was ok, not the most helpful outside by the carts. Good inside the Pro Shop. Is the course worth the high greens fee? Debatable on that one... however the overall condition and layout was good. Would play it again.

Crooked Cat

Spectacular course!! Greens are in winter conditions so that’s to be expected but fairways , boxes and bunkers are in tip top shape. Don’t miss this facility

Nice but expenses

The course was in great condition and the layout very good. However, the price has gone up significantly.

Great course to play for 100 or less if you find it

This is a great place, 2 fantastic courses, Panther is really a nice layout, great people working, the practice facility is super and love it all BUT, I would play this again for no more than $100 and there is really hardly ever anything I get out of a $125+ course that I miss with a $100- course.

Great Course

This is one of the best courses I have ever played. You can see why there have been lots of big tournaments on this course. Great layout, tough but fair. My wife also enjoyed it. Greens rolled true and were fairly quick. Great practice facility. Strongly recommend.

Orange county national delived the goods

One of the nicest courses I have ever played. Got paired up with a older gentleman who had been a member for a long time and could not have enjoyed it more. Like having a caddy. I played great so my experience may be better than some but the overall quality of this course is hard to match.

Amazing

This is probably my favorite course in Florida now. The greens aren’t as visually appealing since they are being invaded by something, but they roll nice and pure… with a proper speed as well. Great layout. Beautiful views. Everything was well taken care of. Will definitely be back

Dom the bomb.

Compared to other courses this time of the year, very enjoyable. Enjoyed the greens with the surprise of a quick break at the hole. Tricky but does not appear so.

Overall a return course for sure.
