The comprehensive practice facility includes a targeted grass range, short game area with sand bunker, plus 2 putting greens.
Both courses provide yardage marking systems that include 100, 150 and 200 yard plates (250 on par fives) and sprinkler heads that are measured to the center of the green. Color coded flags on the greens indicate the day's front, middle or back hole locations.
Panther's Run
Panther's Run is a beautiful championship design with open rolling fairways that feature extensive water hazards and strategic bunkers. There are 44 sand traps situated near the immaculately conditioned TifEagle greens or along the landing zones off the tee, and water comes into play in some shape or form on all but 1 hole - the par three 11th (which plays over a considerable sandy waste area).
There are five sets of tee boxes that play to distances and slopes measuring 7089 yards/140 slope, 6706 yards/131 slope, 6267 yards.122 slope, 5546 yards/112 slope for men and 132 for women, and 5023 yards with a 116 slope for ladies hitting from the forward tees. As the slopes indicate, this is a challenging experience from the two back sets, but can be very enjoyable for mid to high handicappers utilizing the 3 front tee areas.
There is a good variety of holes on Panther's Run, allowing most golfers to use every club in their bag - with driver often a good option off the tee. There also are several tricky doglegs that require accurate length and placement. For more info, visit our page for the course, with direct link to their website by clicking here.
