Panther Run Golf Club

Panther Run Golf Club in Ave Maria is an elite 18-hole par-72 course stretching 7,532 yards, one of the longest public-access layouts in Southwest Florida. The design incorporates the open terrain of eastern Collier County, with wide fairways, significant water features, and bunkering that rewards strategic course management on the approach shots. A driving range supports full preparation before what amounts to a demanding test from any set of tees.

The course anchors the golf program at Ave Maria, a planned university town developed in eastern Collier County near the western edge of the Everglades. Its remote location east of Naples means it draws committed golfers rather than casual visitors, but the combination of length, conditions, and pricing positions it as one of the better-value elite courses in the region. The National Golf and Country Club at Ave Maria is just down the road, giving the area two strong courses within the same planned community.
