Panther Lake at Orange County National

Panther Lake is an "American" style parkland course featuring rolling hills and a number of elevated greens. Room off the tee makes this course approachable, but intricate green complexes with slopes and undulations make this a second shot course. Good amount of water without being involved on every hole. Greens were rolling over a 12, making for some extremely difficult putts. Pace was pretty good. We were 10 minutes ahead and still were spoken to by the ranger to pick up the pace. After only one hole on the back nine we caught up to the group in front of us and were backed up the rest of the day. Great layout with interesting holes. In addition to greens, fairways and rough were pristine.

If you’ve played before go back and play again course is much improved over the last year imo.
Green complex’s fairways in great condition

It was a perfect day. Temperature was nice, not to windy, fairways were perfect, and the greens rolled perfect. P

From start to finish, it was an excellent experience. This Panther Lake is flawless. Tee boxes, fairways, greens and layout was spectacular. First time playing this course and I rate it A+… definitely in my top 20. Kudos to all the staff members.

Course was good but pace of play was terrible. 10 minute wait at every tee. 30 handicap players playing the tips is a recipe for a horrible round. The marshalls need to be better at getting the players to play the correct tees.

I thoroughly enjoyed Panther Lake. The course was in great shape and you could make it as challenging as you’d like. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The clubhouse offered a nice grill and the pro shop was well stocked. I would love to play the course again.

Love the golf course, great conditions, wonderful practice area and green fee was very reasonable given the Hot Deal on Golfnow… However, I arrived at the starter hut as a single and was told to pair up with another single and a double in another cart. I simply turned, did not say a word and looked at the starter. I was met with “only 2 carts per group, if you have a problem go back and pay $15 if you want your own cart”…wait a minute, I played Crooked Cat a few days ago and was not asked to pair up and we had 3 carts in the groups…if you have a policy, be consistent with the enforcement of the policy.

Panther Lake is one of our favorite courses in the Orlando Area. It has scenic holes with elevation changes and a challenging layout.
