Very good value for our rounds. Lack of clean watery in the ball wash units and paper towels in bathrooms are sadly lacking and we did fare very well on a further discount to play due to overseeding which required remaining off the fairways. The extra walking didn’t hurt us and may have impacted pace of play for some.

Not worth playing

It's a shame that this course has been so neglected. The tee boxes are dirt and weeds. The fairways are un recognizable and made up of weeds and hard pan. The greens are dried up dead grass and crabgrass. The bunkers are weeds and maybe some dirt at the very bottom. They gave up and removed most of the rakes...I saw one. Not worth any discount, maybe free?

Get control

It would be nice if they actually had a ranger to drive around and control some of these groups. We had a double in front of us that would hit 3 balls a piece off the tee box and we're playing the tips hitting 50 yards. In front of them was a group of 8, yes I said 8 holding everything up. Other than that nice course.

Needs tender LovingCare

Ocala National Golf needs so much tender loving care. Fairways and tee boxes were in bad shape. In the fairways a lot of tight lies, no grass, weeds. Some of the tee boxes had very little grass, others were fine. Greens were ok, but some had some weeds growing on them. Sand traps were in very poor condition. Price was ok because I had hot deals. We will not play there again. Sorry.

Anytime

Anytime you can golf it’ll be a good day! Even with a bad round. Course layout is really well thought out, just the right amount of tactical play and yardage. But this course can use alittle more tender loving care. Overall good and pace of play is exceptional.
