course in rough shape

I love this course and used to play it 3 times a week. they really let it go this summer and seemed to pour all the money into the new bar they built. greens have lumpy patches of grass all over them fairways are chunky with multiple types of grass and weeds bunkers filled with weeds . They just sent out an email saying the course is in great shape and were raising the price. with all the great courses you can play for $35-45 this place is over priced. if you can get a round for $20 that's ok but I wouldn't pay more than that. I really hope they put some love into this place. last spring it seemed like they were getting it into better shape then let it go for 6 months over the summer not in good shape right now.

Decent course for the money. Golf ball washers were filled with dirty water. Bathrooms on back nine needed attention.

What it must have been at one time

This is a great layout in need of some TLC. The houses around there are beautiful but the quality of the course doesn’t match the dwellings. That said, the price was right and this course will really test your skills. If you’re looking for pristine conditions go somewhere else and spend a lot more money. If your looking to hit it and get it it’s not bad.

Don't waste your money

The course is in horrible shape. We lost multiple balls around the greens and just off the fairway. Do not waste a nice day at this course.

Worst course I’ve ever played

This is by far the worst course I have ever played. The course conditions were so bad you if you actually found your ball in the middle of the fair way where you know it landed you couldn’t even hit it because the grass was so long the club would just stop when it got to the ball no matter how hard you hit in most spots the fair ways were up to your knees and the rough was at least up to your waist

Ocala National needs some attention

The course has a nice layout with some rolling hills, some trees and some bunkers to challenge you. The problem is the grass is overgrown, some tee boxes hard to locate because of the grass, and the rough eats up your ball in the thick weeds and grass. A sign by the pro shop says they have had some maintenance and equipment issues and they are working to get the course back in shape. Maybe in a couple of weeks it will be in better shape

Horrible

Only notification was that the roughs were not cut. Could. not tell the difference between tee boxes fairways or rough. Course was so bad bare spots. It was like playing in the backyard.

Rough? An understatement!

No attention given to this course. The rough is REALLY rough. The grass that had been mowed left thick patches of mowed grass all over the course. The seats in the carts were torn. Seems as though the owners may not be interested in promoting this course to the public, as though it's on its last days, in my opinion.
