3/15/2012 - A very very special golf course. The Q school rankings were written all over the walls in the pro shop, which was huge and very well stocked with quality items. Panther Lake was one of my favorite golf courses in all of Florida, and we have played the whole state. If you have only one course to play in Orlando, make this one your choice... I hear that Crooked Cat is even better! Posted by Perry (St. John'S, NL CANADA)

4/13/2011 - Awesome course and staff as usual! Posted by Carl (Chelmsford, MA)
4/10/2011 - excellent course with great greens, plush fairways and the tee boxes perfect. We just wish we could have played sister course. We played from the whites on the first nine and then went to blues back nine. A little more challenging for us since we are not big hitters, usually high 80's. Posted by Rick (Cherry Hill, NJ)
4/8/2011 - Played both courses in one day. Both courses were in excellent shape and each course had a totally different layout. Bring your 'A' game. Posted by Len (Suwanee, GA)

3/11/2011 - Super conditions! Always enjoy the Panther! Posted by Dennis (Maple Grove, MN)
3/11/2011 - Always a favorite, we play 36 here every year (both courses). Conditions this year were the best we seen in 6 years. 2 great tracks. Posted by Gary ()
3/5/2011 - Perfect condition! I can see why they held the Q-School Finals here. The most expansive and versatile practice area I've ever seen. Get there early and work on your game. A very fair course that also looks great. Well worth the extra few dollars. Posted by Joseph (Rogers, MN)

2/18/2011 - We played both Panther and Cat on the same day. Great value and courses were in outstanding condition. Play the right tees and it's fun! Play the wrong set and it's a pain! We played 2nd set from Front in morning and 2nd from back in the afternoon. All felt we were beaten by the course in the afternoon! Lunch and 2 for 1 beers was just outstanding! Posted by Ted (Normal, IL)
2/18/2011 - The best 2 courses in the orlando area. Will be playing again for the fouth year in a row Posted by Brian Spencer (Greenwood, IN)
2/5/2011 - My favorite layout in Orlando
Play it from the Champions tees - where the Q-school was and you have a tough long course - like Torrey Pines South in Florida (without the ocean views)
Play it from the "up tees" and you have a fun, somewhat forgiving course that let's you play all the shots
Generous landing areas in fairways. Greens are large and roll true Posted by Robert (North Attleboro, MA)
2/4/2011 - O.C. Nat'l rocks! Great track (Panther Lake), pro shop and guest services. We will definitely return! Highly recommended. Posted by Rick (Brecksville, OH)

12/29/2010 - Fantastic golf course. Immaculate condition. Look forward to playing there again. Posted by Richard (Springfield, VA)

12/18/2010 - Post Q-School greens were great Posted by Jerry (Rochester, MN)
12/10/2010 - The week before the Q- School. Course in super condition. Posted by Jean (Laval, QC CANADA)
12/9/2010 - One week before Qschool, the course was in perfect shape. Posted by Eric (Thetford Mines, QC CANADA)

11/26/2010 - Very nice, had a great time. Course was in great shape Posted by Gary (Portland, ME)
10/24/2010 - Course was in good shape. Crowded the day we played, which made my "new golfer" companion feel rushed. A yankee foursome hit into us a couple of times. These were the only greens I putted well on all week. I look forward to playing again. Posted by Rex (Farmington, MO)
10/22/2010 - The course, staff and everyone was great. So many extras on course. I left a club on course on Monday and discoved it on Friday and they had it. Went and picked it up. Thanks again. Posted by Patricia (Imperial, TX)
10/15/2010 - Beautiful course. Fun to play, challanging yet forgiving. Posted by Michael (The Villages, FL)
9/24/2010 - This was the best course out of the 6 we played. The course was in fantastic condition, and as a result of this my brother and I scored well. Some great holes which was a great test. The greens were great as well, not too fast, but gave you a chance. I would recommend this course to all no matter what your level is. I will definitely play this course again when I next return to Orlando. Posted by Kevin (United Kingdom)

6/4/2010 - Great course, excellent service and ammenities Posted by Andrew (St. John's, NL Canada)
6/3/2010 - Always like playing Orange County, beautiful course. Staff was very friendly. Posted by Lenny (N Ft Myers, FL)
5/24/2010 - Very nice course with an exceptional warm up ranges. The greens were far from good, but they were playable. This course will continue to be in our rotation. Posted by Jerry (Cincinnati, OH)
5/11/2010 - Our group of 8 golfers played Crooked Cat and we were not disappointed. Excellent shape and we will return again next year. Friendly staff and great clubhouse. Posted by Richard (Rockland, MA)
5/4/2010 - Unfortunately greens hit hard by late frost. Beautiful track. Staff went above and beyond the call of duty to apologize for conditions. Definitely on the list for next visit. Posted by Joe (Whitby, Canada)

2/25/2010 - Excellent facility and courses. Staff very helpful.

2/19/2010 - Friendly staff, great golf carts and nice overall course. However, a lot of the "water" holes did not have water actually as called for, which made the course easier - but less exciting in that sense of a challenge. Posted by Jamie (N. Wiltshire, Canada)
2/15/2010 - Always one of our annual staples. and once again Orange County National didn't disappoint. This time around we played Panther Lake...and the course was in perfect shape with greens that were smooth, quick and true. A must play for any golfer visiting the Orlando area. Posted by Dean (Hanson, MA)
2/11/2010 - Really enjoyed the course. Good staff and the conditions were very good too. Will definitely play again. Highly recommend. Posted by Phillip (Wichita, KS)
2/11/2010 - Great courses, great layout, fabulous true greens on both courses. Panther Lake the nicer of the two but both great courses. Great waitstaff at the bar resturant and wonderful food.
Posted by John (Cherry Valley, IL)
2/11/2010 - It does not matter which couurse you play, both are in great shape. They make you work for a good shot into the green. Scoring gets down to where you land on the greens. Great staff. Posted by Edward (Annapolis, MD)
2/5/2010 - One of our favorite places in Orlando, played both courses many times and will go back again. Great condition, even after heavy rains. Staff very courteous and accommodating.

10/30/2009 - Excellent practice area; course was very nice. Posted by Kurt (Zuerich, Switzerland)
10/27/2009 - If you have not played this course, put it in your package. If not, you have definitely missed the best course in the area. Posted by Mike.

10/8/2009 - Very, very good course. Number one of the courses I played. Would play again. Posted by James (West Lothian, United Kingdom)

8/4/2009 - Play it! Great course will suit high and low handicappers. Great condition, great staff. We played four courses in Orlando in two weeks and this was by far the best golfing experience. Will play both courses here next year without a doubt. Posted by Chris
8/1/2009 - Magnificent course. Great layout. Fun but challenging. Fabulous conditions. Definitely recommend this course. The driving range is amazing.
6/15/2009 - What a wonderful golf facility. This place is just so great - condition, facilities, beautiful holes and area surrounding, staff just too great to be true, again the most friendly staff I have ever encountered and incredible golf carts. This is a must to return to and enjoy. The Panther Lake course is nicer and more attractive than Crooked Cat but they are both better than most courses I have ever played. Posted by Roland (Doral, FL)
6/4/2009 - Superb! The best in Orlando. This place is set up to cater to the golfer in every aspect. We played both courses and they were in excellent condition as ever. Posted by Ian (Prudhoe, United Kingdom)
5/9/2009 - It's not suprising this course plays host to the PGA Q-School. Its a gem in great condition and real value for money unlike Grand Cypress. One of the best courses I have played.

2/26/2009 - Every inch of this place screams golf. Fantastic practice facilities, excellent clubhouse and staff. Both courses were well groomed and not to difficult to make a mid-handicapper feel like he has a shot a a great round. A must play. Posted by Christopher.
2/25/2009 - The staff at this course were very friendly and extremely nice and helpful. The course is fairly wide open for those of us who are not single digit handicaps. The course is very nice and easily the best of our trip. One of the group's golf bags was left at the course and when we realized it the next day they drove it out to the course we were playing that day. Very nice. Posted by Paul (Macedonia, OH)
2/23/2009 - Second year in a row we have included Orange County National in our annual golf trip. I love this course. Great range and putting green. We played all 36 holes and had a great time. Will be back!!! Posted by Mike (Paoli, PA)

1/8/2009 - OCN was in excellent condition. Staff was fine. OCN not a bad deal for 36 hole special. Very positive feedback from all in group. Would definitely play again if rates remain reasonable. Posted by John (Whitman, MA).
12/4/2008 - Great golf. On the do again list. Posted by James (Southington, CT).

11/20/2008 - Excellent. Good tough courses, especially in the wind. Needs to be an intermediate betweeen White at 5600 and Blue at 6300 on Crooked Cat. Posted by John (Indianapolis, IN).
11/20/2008 - First time played. My wife and I joined up with a father and son from Canada, both good players. We played the Championship tees at about 6700 yards. Very good course, excellent test of golf. Never waited on a shot, played in four hours. All the staff were pleasant and helpful. Nice touch is providing complimentary balls on the range and having a guy there to tell you when to head for the tee. Tee Times USA did a good job of arranging tee times and providing info like directions to the course. Posted by James (Runnemede, NJ).
11/13/2008 - Great tracks! Posted by Richard (New Canaan, CT).

10/30/2008 - Played both courses at Orange County National. Best deal and courses in the area in my opinion. Would return in a minute. Staff is very helpful and everywhere.

10/3/2008 - Just AWESOME! Played OCN's CC and Panther Lake. A must play. Courses were in immaculate condition. The ice cold Mango scented towels provided to us at various holes, were fantastic. Nice treat. Pro shop....enough said. Just can't say enough about OCN. Posted by Brian (Greenwood, IN).
9/11/2008 - Great facility and excellent staff, can't wait to go back. Posted by Edward (Hope, RI).
6/5/2008 - An absolute must. Easily the best value for money in Orlando. We had hoped to play Crooked Cat which if anything like this will be a must for next trip as it was closed for aeration. You gotta play Panther Lake. Posted by Jim (Glasgow, Scotland).

5/9/2008 - Have played here previously, and would continue to go back. Always in immaculate condition, and love the undulations. Posted by George (Homer Glen, IL).
5/9/2008 - 36 holes of championship golf. Excellent shape and very tough. The thing I liked about these courses is that there are not a lot of forced carries and you have very playable yardages yet they are still tough. Posted by Jim (Wheeling, IL).
5/3/2008 - The perfect way to end the golf weekend. Everybody raved about this place. The great part about it was even if your drives went astray there was a likelyhood of a second shot, although more difficult. The greens were the fastest I've ever been on. They kept all of us guessing. No doubt about it. We will be back to play this one and its sister course. Posted by Gerald (Flagler Beach, FL).
5/1/2008 - Our favorite of the two courses and the one that offers the most challenge. Posted by Gary (Campbellville, Canada).

3/31/2008 - This is our second year to play OCN. It was great.
Posted by Michael (Mentor, OH).
3/24/2008 - We call this our home course. Our foursome loves both courses at OCN. We play 10 rounds of golf in 5 days and next year we are even considering play this on two of the five days we play. We love it. Posted by Anthony (Kendall Park, NJ).
3/24/2008 - Great golf course, will return there again. Posted by Rick (Fishers, IN).
3/24/2008 - Out of the 5 courses we played during our trip, this was one was the best by far. The staff was very courteous and helpful and the course condition, layout, etc. was outstanding.

3/13/2008 - A fine course with some interesting holes around/over water. Away from housing. Would like to return & play Crooked Cat. Posted by Ken, Edinburgh
3/7/2008 - Any time you can play where the pros play, you can test your ability with theirs. We have a couple 0 handicappers in our group, so we love Orange County. They leave there with a higher handicap, its a true test of golf from the tips !!!
Posted by Ed (Libertyville, IL).

Orange County National Panther Lake Reviews (241)
Posted by Lane (St. Catharines, ON CANADA)
Play it from the Champions tees - where the Q-school was and you have a tough long course - like Torrey Pines South in Florida (without the ocean views)
Play it from the "up tees" and you have a fun, somewhat forgiving course that let's you play all the shots
Generous landing areas in fairways. Greens are large and roll true Posted by Robert (North Attleboro, MA)
Good staff and a fun course. Posted by Kun (Lake Forest, IL)
