Caddie's Summary: Orange County National (OCN) is an excellent golf destination complete with two championship golf courses (Panther Lake and Crooked Cat). The Phil Ritson golf institute is located on property and includes excellent teaching facilities for all levels of students. OCN is also home of the Q-School finals, which is a launching pad for PGA golfers. The Panther Lake course is very demanding from the tips, and fairway bunkers become trecherous. Views surrounding the course include orange tree orchards, brush fields and some excellent wildlife sitings. Fast greens during tournament play also make focus a must for any low scores. Bunkers vary from flat to deep and ridged, and are well placed to protect greens and to keep long hitters honest when cutting corners. Large greens average 35 yards in depth and pin placements can change club selection on approaches and demand gutsy shots to get tight. |
