Panther Run Course



Panther Run, situated amidst the relatively young community of Ave Maria, offers a modern golf experience distinct from Florida's established golfing corridors. Designed by Gordon Lewis, the course presents a player-friendly layout across a landscape of gently rolling terrain. The architectural style leans toward contemporary resort design, characterized by generous fairways and accessible greens. While not a particularly challenging course for seasoned players, Panther Run is well-suited for recreational golfers and those seeking an enjoyable round without excessive difficulty. Its openness allows for strategic shot-making, though it doesn't demand pinpoint accuracy off the tee, making it a favorite for casual weekend play. The club is known as a relaxed and welcoming environment for its largely residential membership. The grill offers a selection of sandwiches and burgers, making it a popular social hub before and after rounds.
The journey to Panther Run Golf Club begins at Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers, roughly forty minutes west of the course, though Naples Municipal Airport serves private arrivals with equal convenience. From either point, the drive east traces the expanding edge of Southwest Florida's development corridor before turning into the master-planned community of Ave Maria, a quietly ambitious town rising from former agricultural land northeast of the Everglades. The final approach reveals Panther Run's emerald fairways stretched across reclaimed ranchland, where the flatness of old Florida cattle country has been sculpted into a surprisingly dynamic golf landscape - a modern oasis at the frontier of Collier County's interior.
