Panther 1 of the best courses in florida
Will always go a little out of the way to play

Course in great shape! Wish I could have played the entire 18
Panther has been recently overseeded, and we weren't told the entire course was cart path only until we were on the first tee. Wish we were notified when booking this round. OCN always plays slow (about 4.5 - 5 hours for 18). We teed off at 2:30 PM and were only able to get 14 holes in before it was too dark. OCN should be offering a discounted rate beyond 2:30 considering the sun sets at 5:30. Maybe an "all you can play" rate to better add value to the round?
All things being said, the course is in perfect shape and worth the full price if you don't tee off too late after the time change. Would recommend.

Great Course
Condition is great, green is fast and true.
Ranger rushed and followed to make us play faster even though we finished our round 4hr10m.

Great course, lousy staff
The course was over seeded so cart path only and pace of play followed that.
As usual we got bad service from the ranger about speeding up because we were supposedly 2 MINUTES BEHIND. I can’t tell you how many times they’ve told us that. I’ve played about 50 rounds out there over 30 years and still the same treatment. And cart staff was rude upon arrival back at clubhouse. Most staff is not customer oriented and it shows.

One of my favorite tracks in Central Florida
Amazing course layout, conditions, pro shop etc Love playing here.
Just had a slow round this time round, waiting on every hole for the group ahead of us. They placed a single and two threesomes behind all the foursomes and told us it’s just going to be slow because it’s Sunday and we are a threesome. Pro shop guy even offered me to go out alone and it wouldn’t be slow. That doesn’t show proper management skills on how to operate the course. Everything else was fine

Must play course in Orlando!
⛳ Course Review: Orange County National’s Panther Lake ⛳
Just across the road at the OCN facility lies Panther Lake, the original gem on the property. This par 72, 7269-yard course is a true contender for the top spot on my list.
🌲 A Natural Oasis: Panther Lake offers a vast, pristine golfing oasis surrounded by nothing but nature. It’s a place where you can escape and immerse yourself in the game.
🌱 Greens of Excellence: The greens at Panther Lake were a standout feature. They were not only in excellent condition but also faster than Crooked Cat. These expansive greens had plenty of slope, rolling pure as can be and soft enough to stop a shot on a dime.
🏌️♂️ Balanced Challenge: The course struck a perfect balance. It was challenging but offered moments where it rewarded the player. The fairways were tight, but the rough was forgiving enough to keep you in decent shape.
⛳ Memorable Holes: There are many spectacular holes, but one that stands out is hole #9 (Check out Pictures #4 and #5). It’s a downhill par 4 that demands a demanding straight long iron or wood off the tee, with a ravine to the right and sloping hills to the left. The second shot requires crossing the ravine to a bunker-guarded green. Hole 14 is another highlight, a monstrous 622-yard par 5 with a 90-degree right turn, bunkers covering the green, and water lurking long! It’s simply a beautiful hole.
🌄 Challenging Terrain: Panther Lake features some steep terrain, and even when you hit the fairway, you might have an uncomfortable lie. Precision is key!
Overall, Panther Lake is probably the best course I’ve played yet, just narrowly edging out its sister course, Crooked Cat.

Typical Daily Fee Facility
Played in the late afternoon. Lots of divots and pitch marks, and unraked bunkers. Several greens had weeds removed and sandy low spots where they used to be.
