Orlando, Florida Golf Vacations

Crooked Cat is a strong compliment to its sister course, Panther Lake. Awarded 4 1/2 Stars by Golf Digest "Places to Play", this 7,277-yard course has a distinct "links" flavor in its open, flowing design. This course features few trees, wide terraced fairways and native redtop heather grass throughout the rough giving it a Scottish feel. Although a slightly different breed than Panther Lake, this natural terrain layout is just as beautiful...and dangerous as Panther Lake. With large sloping greens, steep sand bunkers and 50-foot elevation changes, Crooked Cat offers a true test to golfers of all skill levels.

Orange County National's Panther Lake is a course that deserves all the recognition that has come its way...voted Golf Magazine's "Top You Can Play" in the U.S., Golf Digest 4.5-Stars "Best Places To Play". This 7,295-yard masterpiece is the first course ever to feature 18 signature holes, incorporating rolling hills, including 60-foot elevation changes, as it winds through natural oak hammocks, pine forests, scenic wetlands and glistening freshwater lakes. With Champion Grass an ultra dwarf Bermuda you will produce similar putting conditions to those of Bent grass from up north. 

In addition to its natural beauty, Panther Lake offers numerous strategic options in its design, thus allowing all levels of players to be fairly challenged. Be sure to allow some time before a round to warm-up on what Golfer's World rated "Best Driving Range in America" and a popular PGA and LPGA Tour Player practice facility. And by the way, Orange County National has been host to the PGA Tour Q-School Finals five times!
