Excellent facility. Played both courses and Panther is a little more interesting with quicker greens. Crooked Cat a good "starter" course with lots of room off the tee.

We were able to play both Panther Lake and Crooked Cat on the same day. What a great experience. In the afternoon we practically had the course to ourselves.

Paul (Middletown, CT) says:
Always play Crooked Cat, first ime playing Panther Lake. Hard to find two nicer courses to play. Great layout, great condition, no trick holes. Played it in a fierce wind this year, but it was still terrific. Greens are a little trickier than Crooked Cat, but still fair.

Dave (Vonore, TN) says:
Always tops. For some reason we played and never saw the group ahead or behind us - it was like we had the whole place to ourselves. The one thing they need to add is a speaker over at the driving range so they give groups a 10 or 15 minute on deck call, since the Panther tees are so far away.

Tim (Des Moines, IA) says:
OCN is the gold standard for our group. Each course has its own personality and the conditions are perfect. The facilities are phenomenal and every aspect of the place is run like clockwork...starters, wait staff in the restaurant, as well as the pro shop. OCN will always be part of our Orlando golf schedule.

In 14 years with our group, still our favorite course. Each hole is distinct and memorable. A great place that is serious about golf.

We all like Orange County. Unfortunately, it's so popular and crowded that we could not get second round tee time until 3:30. Maybe next year.

Pace of play on first (back) nine was slow (2hr. 45min.). After we cleared the group in front of us on our 10th tee (1st hole), pace was good (1hr. 45min.) Course was in great condition.

Brian (Claremont, NH) says:
This was one of our two favorite courses the five days we were in Orlando. The other was the sister course, Crooked Cat. Panther Lake was a bit more challenging, but not unfairly so. Some nice risk/reward par 5's. The greens are FAST compared to your average course. And they roll true. The ball rolls right by the cup if 75% is not over the hole. And it will still rollover if you have given the putt a bit much. Almost defying gravity! It was a fantastic day of golf on a fantastic course. BE SURE TO PLAY THIS COURSE!

David (Levittown, NY) says:
One of the finest public golf facilities you will ever see and a beautiful, playable golf course. The addition of the new greens (12.5 on the Stimpmeter) should be reflected in a higher slope. The new greens are as true-rolling as anything you could imagine, but it does take some getting used to. Practice putting on the Panther practice greens before you go out there!
