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

Great Course with wierd golf cart.

Panther Lake was in great condition. The only issue was the wierd nanny cart. It would lockup sometimes when you were no where near the green or a trap. Twice we got a message at 98 yards from a hole in the fairway?

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.

It’s Starting to Get Hot!

A lot of brown beginning to appear throughout. Tees, bare spots- all appearing in last few weeks. Greens are uneven and all are experiencing some type of weed/fungus growth. On top of it, the person checking me on at the desk was rude, bordering on nasty. What happened with this place?

Both tracks 5 stars

A must play in the Orlando area. Both amazing tracks, got 36 holes in on the day. Crooked cat slightly better conditions then panther. Replay rates available at pro shop. Delicious turkey club sandwich. Can’t wait to play again when I’m in the Orlando area.

Challenging from the tips

Played the course once in Feb and now. Both times it was in good shape. Pace of play was pretty slow this time around. The time I played in feb they were very strict about it but not this time. Def would go back

First Class Course Design - Excellent Conditions

Our pace of play was slow as there were 3 high handicappers in my 4-some but that’s just the luck of the draw as a single. EVERYTHING else was EXCELLENT. Bag staff were friendly and helpful; Pro-shop Staff were very efficient and informative; practice range and tees were great (they do charge extra for practice balls :-(, the course was in great condition tee to green, especially for Feb golf; greens were a tad slower than I’d like but everything rolled true; course layout is very good with generous fairways and clear target lines; Rangers on course to help pace of play: beverage carts to help forget the bad shots. I can’t wait to go back.

Highly recommended if you want a more upscale course and experience.

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.
