Panther Run Golf Club
Played On 01/21/2019Slow Round. Worst conditions I have ever experienced at Panther Run
I have played Panther Run numerous times over the past 10 years and returned because it has typically been a good experience. The range is sketchy. Water range with floating balls. No balls out for the non members for warm up. I am disappointed to see they have signage for "member area" on the practice tee.
That is ridiculous to me. Greens ok although slow and apparently done so intentionally for the benefit of golfers to make them a bit less challenging. Tees ok. I played the II tees. The faiways are a bit thin. Plenty of unfilled divots and unrepaired ball marks on the greens. Obviously the fairways are largely dormant this time of year. Pace of play was very slow. Tee time 1:45 PM although ten minute late start. Barely finished he round. Putted out on 18 in near darkness at 625PM. I would have to think twice about going back and know the conditions were better beforehand.
Not a typical resort style course
The course is unusual in that it plays firm with significant run off on the greens and fairways. Little to no rough. Greens were in nice shspe. They are generally crowned and have no greenside bunkers so errant shots are exaggerated. That can be frustrating for mere mortals. Waste areas are common which look nice but are like hardpan and will scuff your clubs. 3 of the first six holes are par threes. Tee shots generally give you enough room for your drives. I would characterize this as a second shot course. I have played here at least a dozen times since it opened. Driving range and short game area available but they give you only a tiny bag of balls with your green fee. Very few homes or condo buildings are visible so the feeling is like you are in a remote setting. On the pricey side in my opinion for what you get.
Esplanade Golf and Country Club of Naples
Played On 04/23/2015Very nice golf course and value fr the money
This is a newer golf course community that I was pleasantly surprised to learn about and play for the first time. I would go back without reservation. The clubhouse facility is obviously temporary. The only negative is that the practice facility has a water range so the golf balls are not realistic.
