About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 7350 yards
Slope 139
Rating 76.0

Two 18-hole courses rest on the 900-acre retreat that is all about golf -- not condos or summer homes. Panther Lakes is the flashier of the two designs at Orange County National, most say, because no two holes are the same. The playing surfaces are lush and the topography is so varied in some areas, some have a hard time believing they're in Florida. The architect made good use of the rolling meadows, grasslands, wetlands and lakes. Visually rich elements saturate the 7,295-yard design.

Pristine course

Panther Lake: Beautiful course, very challenging. Liked that they provided coolers and the beverage cart was seen twice during my round. Course was in immaculate shape, barely noticed any flaws on greens/fairways. Course was difficult even though water was rarely in-play. Lots of hills and interesting lies :). I’d honestly put this course in my top 5 of the most beautiful and challenging (nothing beats the black course @ Bethpage). I recommend Panther Lake over all 3 Disney courses. It’s a little cheaper @ Panther and honestly it’s in better shape. Have fun !

Great layout

All the holes are thoughtful and keep you interested. The greens had some different grass patches but the roll was as smooth as a pool table. Fairways were a touch long in some spots but overall this was a great course. Not a ton of water but plenty of fun. The pit of town price is a little steep but it isn’t too far off for range balls and 18 holes. This should be a must play for anyone that is in the area.

Great course

First time I have played this course in 25 years, I will definitely be back to play, first class driving range, chipping and putting areas, the course was very fun to play with really no boring holes, fairways have plenty of grass along with the tee boxes, greens rolled true and fairly fast. had a twosome in front of us that held us up and we were the first foursome off that morning, go figure.

Slow pace but we were the problem

Course is amazing, greens immaculate. Loved every part of the layout. Got paired with a couple guys on vacation and they were at a PGA tour pace. I blame our group. Staff is super friendly and professional. Look forward to trying again without a hangover 5 stars.

Pace of Play was 5.5 hours.

Always a great time playing OCN, but the pace of play has gotten out of hand on both courses. They need a ranger that can actually help push the slow groups along.

Course was in great condition!

Actually played Crooked Cat

Absolutely great course. If you’ve got a mid to low handicap, you should play these two courses.

Good to Play, but…

The Greens were sandet. They should say it, before paying. Therefore, the course was not in a good shape.
