Panther Lake is a stern examination from the tournament tees, tipping the scales at a hefty 7,269 yards, but there are numerous tees that allow the setup to be tipped in the favour of any golfing visitor. Among the most notable characteristics of the course are the rolling undulations of the fairways, large changes in elevation and stunning panoramic views.
An added bonus of Panther Lake is the lack of commercial and residential development alongside, which creates a sense of isolation that allows visitors to concentrate solely on the course at hand. If you are looking for great golf in Orlando then Panther Lake is a good choice.

Crooked Cat is a phenomenal complement to its highly acclaimed sister course, Panther Lake. Both courses host to the 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2010 PGA TOUR Qualifying School Finals, having been awarded 4.5 stars by Golf Digest's "Places to Play" every year since 1999.
That's no easy accomplishment as there are only 52 courses in Florida with an equal rating. With an entourage now of newly planted trees, wide-terraced fairways, and native redtop heather grass in the rough, this 7500-yard course is meticulously groomed, features a distinct Scottish "links" flavor, is not surrounded by homes, and features incredible Champion Dwarf Bermuda greens added the summer of 2012. Elevation changes amongst rolling terrain are prevalent while wildlife abounds in this natural setting.
