Excellent all around

Excellent experience all around. Facility well organized with adequate staff at bag drop, pro shop check in, food/drink cart, restaurant, on course marshalls and clean up at the end. All tee times booked that day but still had a 4:15 round with only short waits at the par 3. Marshall came around every other hole and even helped us find a lost ball to keep play moving. Course was in very good shape except for tee boxes that were well worn. Greens ran slow that day. Was nice to see approach shots stick. Generous fairway widths. Holes nicely spaced out from each other. Excellent locker facility that included private showers I used before my flight home that evening. Definitely recommend.

Flawless

From start to finish, it was an excellent experience. This Panther Lake is flawless. Tee boxes, fairways, greens and layout was spectacular. First time playing this course and I rate it A+… definitely in my top 20. Kudos to all the staff members.

Course was good but pace of play was terrible. 10 minute wait at every tee. 30 handicap players playing the tips is a recipe for a horrible round. The marshalls need to be better at getting the players to play the correct tees.

Great Day

I thoroughly enjoyed Panther Lake. The course was in great shape and you could make it as challenging as you’d like. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The clubhouse offered a nice grill and the pro shop was well stocked. I would love to play the course again.

That Starter😱

Love the golf course, great conditions, wonderful practice area and green fee was very reasonable given the Hot Deal on Golfnow… However, I arrived at the starter hut as a single and was told to pair up with another single and a double in another cart. I simply turned, did not say a word and looked at the starter. I was met with “only 2 carts per group, if you have a problem go back and pay $15 if you want your own cart”…wait a minute, I played Crooked Cat a few days ago and was not asked to pair up and we had 3 carts in the groups…if you have a policy, be consistent with the enforcement of the policy.
