Panther Lake Golf Course

This new course is south of Disney. Its diverse vegetation and variety of landscape have been inspired by great golf courses worldwide.

This course is challenging with so many greens protected by bunkers and some elevation throughout. I really like this course because, despite these challenges, it provides you opportunities to make great shots and has forgiving wide fairways. The adjacent Crooked Cat is not as challenging in my opinion but is also a great course to play. Both courses are well maintained and have friendly staff.

In the beautiful village of Winter Garden; the excellent service and kindness of the staff of the Wheel Works bike shop, which serves this station and whose main location is about 5 blocksin the middle of the Winter Garden center; as well as the indications, recommendations and excellent bicycles that rent, allowed me to fully enjoy the pedaled and landscape of part of the West Orange Trail, without any complication with the bike and enjoying it ad its comfort. I will difenitely repeat on every visit to Orlando no matter the weather; and with as much time us possible to tour the West Orange Trail.

We have a time share with Disney and we're always looking for alternate things to do besides the theme parks. We always rent a car or have our own so distance isn't necessarily an issue. This was a superb find for a fun, covid-safe family activity and one that we definitely will do again! The staff was very helpful, the bikes and helmets were wiped disinfected between uses, and distance was maintained while checking in and out. We didn't reserve bikes but instead took our chances once we got there. Happily, they had bikes for us but I don't think took many more were left. Next time, I'd probably call to reserve ahead of time. The bikes were well-maintained and were multi-gear (sorry I couldn't remember how many gears but we definitely had enough for the ride). You have a minimum of one hour rental and then are charged with how much you have them out after that. The West Orange Trail itself is very long and the bike shop sits at mile marker zero and then you set off from there. The trail is relatively flat with some small hills, but nothing that the gears on the bike can't help you up with. It is a multi-use trail and we saw more bikers than any other users (walkers, runners, skateboarders). You go through the back of some residential areas so there will be cross streets and most have 4 way stops and we found that the car drivers were very accommodating to the bikers. We went about 7 miles out to the Crown Point station area before we turned around (there is water, a butterfly garden and restrooms and a park). The only squirrelly area was Winter Garden -- there are A LOT of pedestrians there and the path is narrow and right through the town. Frankly, it wasn't obvious to us where the path went (sidewalk or through the middle) so we had to ask for directions of some other bikers. If you're not comfortable on crowded paths loaded with groups of pedestrians, baby strollers, small kids, etc, then turn around here and don't even try to get through. Overall, a great experience and an activity that we will do again.

My wife and I were in Orlando recently and my wife wanted to take a golf lesson (Game was not were she wanted it, but who's is, LOL). We found a PGA pro at Orange County National and book a lesson with Scott Downing. My wife had a great lessons with him and I observe and also learned a few thing about the swing. After the lesson, Scott loaded us in the cart and gave us a short tour of Orange Count National, which was really nice of him. If anyone need a lesson, I would recommend Scott and the facilities there are second to none. We then went to hit balls on the range, which was the biggest driving range I have ever seen. Also huge putting green. A great place to practice. Although we didn't have a chance to play, the courses look like they were in really great shape. Two 18 hole courses and a 9 hole executive course. Thanks Scott for a enjoyable lesson.

This was the first course we played on our buddies trip and what a perfect start as Orange County National is an awesome venue. The course had hosted a PGA qualifier the week before and was in excellent condition. The design was great and the amenities were terrific. The staff was top notch and accommodating. And the pricing was on point! Enjoy Crooked Cat GC at Orange County National!
