Ruff beyond words!!!

There’s only one course that I have ever played worse than this one. Losing balsa after hitting the fairways is ridiculous. Between thick grass clippings all over and six inch high grass in the middle of the fairways we lost sleeves of balls. Greens were no better, dead spots and, once again grass clippings all over them. Hope this was just a bad day for the course, we would love to come back.

Ridiculous

The course didn’t have enough golf carts and had to wait two hours. And the course did not look like it’s been mowed in three days. You could not see your ball in the fairway.

Hatter TV Approved

This course might be older, but the design is definitely challenging, and they are currently doing great improvements and upgrades. Keep a eye of this course!!!

Great course, great price, overgrown though

Robo mowers deployed to handle a golf course? Don't seem to be keeping up. Rough is very overgrown, fairways patchy in places- lost a ball in the middle of the fairway (found it!). Played here many times, usually in better shape but it is the heart of summer and things are growing well, so don't hit the rough and you'll be great

Ok if u want cheap round

Course is okay if you’re looking for a cheap round. Nice layout.

More weeds than anything else- in the fairways, rough, & bunkers. No idea how it’s rated 4-stars on golfnow. 3-stars is generous, really 2-stars.

Great layout, in need of a lot of love

Not sure how you let a great golf course get in such bad condition. Years of neglec and no one playing it for obvious reasons. We were just passing through Ocala and gave it a shot. Hope someone brings it back. Could be a top 10 course in Florida.

Nice course but rough fairways

I liked the course, however the day I went the the fairways and surrounding areas were very high. I’d lose my ball hitting straight down the fairway. To be fair when I booked it did advise that was the case. Nice course I’d like to play when it’s in better shape.
