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.

If Only
This course has such a great layout and could be a tremendous place for big tournaments, but the course conditioning is not good. If ownership would only put a little money in it this course would rival the best courses in Ocala.
