Great Day of Golf
Fun day out on the course, mostly great conditions but recent rain made bunkers hard and some with standing water. Course needed mowed, again lots of rain recently contributed but off fairway was very shaggy just a good day of mowing, cleaning and fixing bunkers would bring back to great. Likewise, greens were slow due to mowing and wet weather. A fun course that plays well.
course was in bad shape.most sand traps didn't have sand
Great potential.
The greens and fairways were in good condition. The rough was overgrown to the point that it was difficult to find your ball just off the fairway and the bunkers were not in good shape. I enjoyed the layout and will return.
Needs work
The conditions were horrible. rough needed mowing, greens very slow
Fun Course and Great Rates
We enjoyed all 18 holes!!
They are a little behind tending the fairways but was a delight to play!
Due to 99 degree weather there was not a crowd!! We enjoyed that!!
Restaurant and bar wasn’t open, not sure if it was because there were not a lot of people playing golf during the heat?
We will play there again!!
Maintenance
Grass was not cut well……fairways were covered with dead cut grass and rough was terrible. Lost two balls……one in the fairway and one less than 2-3 feet off fairway. Course could be very nice, but not well maintained.
Used to be a golf course
I hadn’t played Ocala National in over 9 months. Previous rounds were sometimes slow but course conditions always good to excellent.
This time rough so high and covered with previously mowed hay that while looking for your ball you could find many other lost balls. Fairways were rough and needed mowing. Greens were bumpy and slow. We quit after nine holes.
Disgusting
Mow the grass! Open the pub!
Great layout...nicely challenging course...bring your A game. The greens and fairways are in decent shape, but the rough is SO TALL that if you miss the fairway you mostly have to drop another ball.
The pub/eatery is closed so there is no after round sit and have a drink/bite. Too bad, because the clubhouse is very nice and the pub is very attractive.
Good but needs better mowing
Course has a good and challenging layout. Fairways and greens are cut ok but the rough are a little too rough.
Needs Help
Course has a lot of potential, several holes with great views of rolling hills and century old oak trees but course conditions were less than spectacular. Greens were in good shape albeit a little slow but no real complaint there. Fairways and tee boxes were okay. The rough however is another story. Never played anywhere where you could miss a fairway by 3’ or roll of the back of a green and lose your ball until I played here. This isn’t like a US open thick rough to make it challenging, this is just overgrown, not mowed for whatever reason rough. Ponds were overgrown and more of an eyesore than a compliment. Pro Shop was stocked with 3 bags and 4 shirts. Some good grounds keeping could make this course a gem but until then I wouldn’t go out of my way to play here.
Great course- no maintenance!
Was once a good course but has gone to pieces.
Has gone downhill fast in the last year or so.
Fairways covered with cut grass, goose grass taking over the entire course. Please spray for weeds and make it playable again! What a shame. Need someone in charge that knows what to do!!!
An Abandoned Gem
At one point, I bet this place was great. The owner obviously doesn’t care about it.
It is a great layout that is so unkept.
I would never recommend playing this course unless there is a new owner who puts some money and care into it.
The course has a great layout.
Either they don't have people to maintain it or they don't have the money. It's in terrible shape. The grass was cut wet and the clippings were left on the fairways. Someone doesn't have the knowledge.
NICE BUT OUT OF SHAPE
The staff is super friendly and nice!!!
Nice design but out of shape as most courses in north Florida..
Bunkers and fairways need some love (it is missing money).
Greens are still okay if compared to the fairways.
Good course rough shape
It is a good course but the homeowners didn't support it so they can't afford to maintain it well but it is cheap to play
