Great Course

Had an awesome time out on the course. Such a fun and well-designed layout! The staff was super friendly and helpful from start to finish. I especially appreciated how many of the holes had access to the halfway house. Huge bonus! Can’t wait to come back.

Favorite

I love this course! It presents a challenge even from the forward tees but it’s very playable. Wish I could play more often but it’s quite far from my home. Friendly accommodating staff too and beautiful facilities.

TOO SLOW!

Over 5 hours to play 18 holes in July in Florida is not a great experience.

Very nice place, well staffed

the course was in excellent shape. The ninth hole was cart path only as the fairway was recovering from a near death experience 😁. rest of the course was in excellent condition. The greens rolled well with some challenging (to me) breaks).

Course marshal was great and kept play moving with a humorous demeanor. Starter also did a great job.

The other course, Crooked Cat was closed for maintenance, which indicates they are serious about keeping the courses in good condition.

I had a good time and would be happy to play again.

Good conditions, friendly on course staff

the course is very nice. Fairways and greens were in good condition. Holes were interesting with lots of bunkers and dog leg holes. Course marshal was great - he kept people moving in a friendly way. The other course, Crooked Cat, was closed for maintenance, which at least shows theey are serious about maintaining the courses.

The advertise their driving range as the largest in the US. I didn't visit the range as teh guy at the bag drop told me i had to get a pin number to get balls at the range. IMO you cant be a “high-end” course and charge for range balls, but perhaps there was a pin on my receipt and i didn't check, nor ask (in my defense it was very early in the morning😁).

i would definitely play here again if in the area.

Great value fun course

First time playing at Orange Countty. Massive golf complex. Friendly staff. Panther course was an excellent condition. Fast screens, plenty of sand traps, and I’ll have adequate sand in them.. fairways aremanicure very well. Aside from a hole number nine. I believe the fairway is in pretty rough shape aside from that I will be back.

Not is good Shape

Panther is not in good shape. Fairways and tees boxes are pretty rough and the greens are way to slow and bumpy. Go somewhere else

Course never disappoints!

As always, these courses at OCN are in the very best condition possible considering the weather & time of year.

Pace of play was awesome (one of the first tee times out)

Greens rolled true, Tee boxes were in great shape & the fairways were amazing!

Overall one of the best courses in the area.

Keep up the great work OCN!

Exceptional Golf Course

Panther Lake is one of the best courses in Cebtral Florida and a must play for all golfers.

Unfortunately, with Crooked Cat currently closed, pace of play was a little slow.

Great course

Had a great day's golf on a fantastic course.

Everything was in good condition for the time of year, fairways nice and dry despite all the recent rain. Greens in great condition and very challenging.

Brilliant value for money, would definitely return
