Orange County National features 36 championship holes: Panther Lake and Crooked Cat. The tournament-playing conditions on two of the best layouts in Florida clearly show why the PGA Tour has chosen this facility as host of the 2003 & 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2010 PGA Tour Q-School Finals. In addition to championship golf, Orange County National features one of the Best Practice Ranges in America according to The Golfer Magazine. Other amenities include a 9-hole executive course, a fabulous golfers lodge and the 33,000 sq. ft. clubhouse, which features a 5,000 sq. ft. golf shop. Panther Lake Course 7350-75.6-134 6849-72.9-127 6334-70.4-124 5632-73.1-127 This masterpiece is the first course ever to feature 18 signature holes, incorporating rolling hills, including 60-ft. elevation changes, as it winds through natural oak hammocks, pine forests, scenic wetlands and glistening freshwater lakes.

10/2/2009 - The two best courses we have played. Second time playing and it was fantastic. Love the mango scented towels. We look forward to that every year. We will play again. Awesome pro shop and everyone goes out of their way to accommodate. FANTASTIC!! Posted by Brian (Greenwood, IN)
8/31/2009 - Spectacular. Played 36 holes this day with a great lunch in the bar inbetween. The staff is great and the bar staff looks great. A hot pick. Posted by Jeffery (Swansea, MA)
8/10/2009 - Book it, play it! Excellent in every way. Great course, friendly staff, good rates. Wish we would have played this and Crooked Cat instead of Mystic Dunes and Celebration. Posted by Chris.
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.
7/6/2009 - Great course; pretty challenging. The staff was nice. Only negative was slow pace of play, took 5 and 1/2 hours to play. Would play again. Posted by Shirlee (Enid, OK)
6/28/2009 - Layout of course is phenomenal. Other than the greens being aerated this a first rate course. Everyone in our group wants to play this complex again but when it's a little cooler. We will definitely be back. Posted by Robert (Jacksonville, FL)
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)
5/31/2009 - As has always been the case, courses in tremendous shape. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. This year our trip was later than usual and we did not encounter many visits from the ranger which makes for a very relaxing and enjoyable 36 hole experience. A great 36 hole complex that most likely will be on next year's itinerary; provided we go during the later off peak season rates. Posted by John (Whitman, MA)
5/28/2009 - Great layout. Excellent condition. Slow pro shop caused some issues with morning tee time. Will definitely play Orange County National next time in Orlando. Posted by Joe (Aurora, IL)
5/11/2009 - Golf course was in great shape. The staff seem to take customers for granted. This was not the experience that I was accustomed to. Probalby will not play here again for a while. Posted by Ned (San Antonio, TX)
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.

4/9/2009 - Outstanding as always. Our group's favorite course every year. Best practice facility. Great prices on food and beer. $18 per six pack on the course. Posted by Tony
4/5/2009 - Course was in great condition for the play it gets. the elevations of the greens are unexpected for a Florida course. Would play again. Posted by Marc (Ridgefield, CT)
3/26/2009 - We consider this our home course. We all like these two 18's the best. In the eight years that we have been coming to Florida, we have played OCN every year and sometimes even twice a year. Top Notch facility, top notch courses. Top notch bartenders! Posted by Anthony (Kendall Park, NJ)
3/26/2009 - Excellent course; Nice range and club house. Very courteous and helpful staff. Nice Pro-shop. Posted by Yagnesh (Piqua, OH)

3/19/2009 - This great course is in great shape. Posted by David (Burlington, MA)
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 - Great facilities. Crooked Cat was in poor shape. Water had all dried up. Panther Lake was in better shape. Posted by Sheldon (Thornhill, Canada)
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)

2/14/2009 - Very good course in excellent condition. Orange County has one of the best practice areas you'll ever see.
2/13/2009 - A PGA Q school course. Challenging and very well manicured. Its sister course is Crooked Cat which is one we will play in the future. Posted by John.
2/5/2009 - Outstanding as always. Been coming here for over five years and always the best in Florida. Posted by Anthony (Grafton, MA)

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).
12/16/2008 - Got rained out after nine holes. Not a monsoon. Was really looking forward to this course. Our 2nd stop on the 6 day trip. Loved what we got to play though! Posted by Michael (Noblesville, IN).
12/8/2008 - Loved the clubhouse, pro shop, practice facilities and course. Everything BUT pace of play which ws horrible. So slow that we waited every shot. Posted by Garry (Kirkland, Canada)
12/5/2008 - Excellent course, great condition. A little bit slow the day we played but I think we can blame a frost delay for that. 5.5hr round. Greens superb. Posted by Golfatron (Kildare, Ireland).
12/4/2008 - Great golf. On the do again list. Posted by James (Southington, CT).

12/1/2008 - Nice course but a lot of blind shots and no indication on the card or on the tee off. Not sure we would play again. Posted by Francois (Gatineau, Canada).
12/1/2008 - Great course and great facilities. Perfect day. Posted by Francois (Gatineau, Canada).
11/21/2008 - As usual OCN was in fabulous shape. We played both courses and both were as equally in top condition. A must play every year. Posted by Richard (Warwick, RI).
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).
11/8/2008 - What can you say about these two courses - best golf day of the trip. Orange County has always been and will always be on our list of courses to play. Posted by Michael (Chagrin Falls, OH).
11/7/2008 - The course was amazing. All was in great shape and staff was great. Will play there again. Posted by Dan (Colonia, NJ).
11/3/2008 - Another amazing course to go with its partner in crime the Crooked Cat. These two course are so so good you can understand why they have been used by the PGA Tour. I don't need to say anymore !!!!!!!!!!!! Posted by Richard (Chatham Kent, United Kingdom).
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.
10/30/2008 - A difficult track with many tough holes. Very challenging, but fair. Posted by Mike (Northborough, MA).
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).
6/27/2008 - Second visit to OCN, first time playing Panther Lake. Beautiful course in the country. Greens very excellent. Pity about the recent drought, there were lakes that were bone dry. Would visit yet again if the opportunity arose. Staff very friendly. Posted by John (Paisley, United Kingdom).
6/5/2008 - The afternoon round was a disaster for the 2nd time of playing this course. It seems that there are no marshalls out in the afternoon so it took 3 hours to play 9 holes which meant that we couldn''t finish the round. I did complain so we ended up playing 1 through 9 again which isn't really the point! Posted by Denise (Eureka, MO).
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).
5/30/2008 - Great courses, even better service. Posted by Tray (Richmond, VA).
5/29/2008 - The course was in excellent shape, we had a great day!! Posted by Len (Ft. Myers, FL).
5/26/2008 - What can I say, this was the best course we played all week. Fantastic layout -- a 10 out of 10, the staff terrific. I can't give this course enough credit. Top of the list to play next year! Posted by William (Glasgow, United Kingdom).
5/25/2008 - Top notch golf course. The staff was attentive. Would play it again. Posted by Denise (Hudson, FL).
5/22/2008 - Courses in great condition as always. Posted by Don.
5/19/2008 - One of the finest courses in the area. This is the 3rd year in a row we have played it and will be back again next year. This course is a keeper and we will add Crooked Cat next year. Posted by Michael (Worcester, MA).
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).
5/8/2008 - I thought both courses condition were not as good as past years. Greens and fairways mainly. Posted by Richard (Sarasota, FL).
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).
5/1/2008 - Our favorite course in Central Florida. Every hole is different and interesting, requiring every shot in the bag. True greens and well maintained grounds. The Orange County staff is friendly and efficient. A joy to play. Posted by Michael (Pittsburgh, PA).
4/24/2008 - The concensus from the group of 32, this course is our favorite! Posted by Homer (Mc Cordsville, IN).
4/20/2008 - We played 36 holes (morning and afternnon round). We enjoyed the course very much and found the staff and facilities very good. We will be back to play Panther Lake again. Posted by Wilf (Brantford, Canada).
4/17/2008 - Excellent course. Wide open landing areas that does not punish a stray shot. Beautiful condition. Posted by Nick (Greenwich, NY).
4/11/2008 - Two great tracks here; we like Panther Lake the best but both were very enjoyable. Posted by Mark (Flagler Beach, FL).
4/11/2008 - Nice course. Friendly staff on the practice range but not the proshop staff. A 4.5-5 * course. Posted by Jane (Meaford, Canada).
4/7/2008 - Great Course and Facility. Posted by Steve (Collegevile, PA).
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. Our only regret was not scheduling to play Crooked Cat also. We definitely plan to include both in our annual trip next year. Posted by Boyd (Tullahoma, TN).
3/24/2008 - Fantastic! Ditto the comments from the Crooked Cat.
Posted by David (Kitchener, ON CANADA).
3/21/2008 - Orange County is a must play. Excellent facilites and courses. Highly recommend to anyone. Posted by Greg (California, KY).
3/21/2008 - Great layout although the lack of water in many of the lakes has dramatically changed the course. The course was in great shape and we will return in future trips. Posted by David (Chantilly, VA).
3/14/2008 - One of our favorites. Service was very good. Prices were very reasonable. Food was very good. This course will be a repeat. Posted by Larry Ford (Charleston, WV).
3/14/2008 - Extremely pleased with the course failities and staff
Posted by Jack (Warren, RI).
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).
3/7/2008 - Good operation. Great course. Well kept. Posted by John (Andover, MA).
3/6/2008 - My favorite course for the week - lots of fun holes

2/28/2008 - Course was in great shape and greens were in excellent condition. Pace of play was about 4:20 per round Posted by John (Monclova, OH).
2/7/2008 - Played both courses. Very tough, but in great condition. Would definitely play again. Posted by HJ.
2/2/2008 - First class for golf. However, the people there act like they are doing you a favor letting you play there. I would play again. Posted by Michael (Irwin, PA).
1/26/2008 - Great course; we have played it 5 years in a row and always like it. Posted by Dan (Ottawa, Canada).
1/25/2008 - Second time playing this course. It was in pretty bad shape as the PGA Q School battered and bruised the course up pretty good only a month ago. Great layout with plenty of challenges. One of the more scenic courses I have played in the Orlando area. Posted by Chad.
12/21/2007 - The course was in great shape and is always one of our favorites. We were a little disappointed that when we showed up early to have breakfast before our round, we were told that they were cleaning the kitchen and no breakfast or lunch was available on that day. Posted by Richard (Overland Park, KS).
12/18/2007 - Fabulous golf course, best in Florida! Posted by Peter (Chestnut Hill, MA).
12/13/2007 - Right after the Q-school, the course was in great shape. 5 stars as usual. The pace was slower than usual. Posted by Kyu (Blue Bell, PA).
11/3/07 - Despite our usual trouble in the traps we still come back for the torture. Great venue. Posted by John (S. Barrington, IL).
11/3/07 - This is a terrific combo! The courses are challenging and beautiful to play. Posted by Jahn (Kenilworth, NJ).
