Description:

Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge offers two of the finest and most highly requested courses in the Orlando area. Featuring the “Panther Lake” course and the “Crooked Cat” course, OC National will provide players with all they can handle at a facility that is simply top-notch.

Panther Lake was the original course at the facility, designed in 1997 by Phil Ritson with consultation from Dave Harmon and Isao Aoki. This course has since received several awards from top publications, such as: Golf Digest’s “Best Places to Play (4 ½ stars),” Golf Magazine’s “Top 10 You Can Play,” and has also hosted the 2003 PGA Qualifier Finals. To say that the course is fantastic is an understatement. There are no homes and no noise…just 18 signature holes that we describe as “therapeutic.”

This course incorporates many undulations and elevation changes of up to 60 feet; rare for a course located in central Florida. From the tips, Panther Lake measures 7,295 of rolling fairways that wind throughout the oak hammocks, pine forests, scenic wetlands, and glistening fresh-water lakes. The front nine forces players to be consistent and accurate with the long irons, however you are offered a bit of reprieve from a back nine that features pine tree lined fairways and larger landing areas reminiscent of the Carolinas.

The newer course at OC National is Crooked Cat, aptly named due to 18 holes consisting of bends, curves, and doglegs. This course is distinctly different from Panther Lake; however, since opening in 1998 it has received similar acclaim to that of its sister course. Crooked Cat was ranked by Golf Magazine in 1998 as a “Top 10 You Can Play,” and has also been awarded 4 ½ stars by Golf Digest. The course hosted the 2002 PGA Tour Qualifier (2nd Stage), and will host the 2005 PGA Tour Q-School Finals.
Crooked Cat claims to give players “a taste of the Scottish Highlands in Orlando” and delivers just that with long flowing fairways that have few trees, and large sloping greens that are surrounded by deep bunkers. It is a “links” style course that requires length and accuracy to score well, and with 7,277 yards from the back tees this course should probably be reserved for the better player who can hit it where he aims.

Orange County National is the perfect location for those who love the 36-hole day, or for the player who has one day of golf planned and desires the best central Florida can deliver. Put OC National on your “must play” list when planning your next Florida golf outing.
