Ocala National golf course

Rough was very high made it difficult to find ball. No water coolers on course on a 90 degree day. Not crowded nobody behind us all day.

Super Nice Course

The course was so good I even bought a hat. It's an hour and a half from my house but it was well worth it. The course is absolutely beautiful but don't tell anybody. I want t go back again and again. $20 for a Callaway / Ocala National hat was also a great deal. I also found a very good seafood restaurant within 15 miles of the course so it was a "great day in Tampa Bay".

Course is in good shape but…

Course is in really good condition but it’s Florida and since Covid began they have not had water coolers out on the course. Water coolers are very important especially in Florida. They even shut off the one ice machine water dispenser at the clubhouse. If you’re trying to cut costs by eliminating water then that’s a bit ridiculous.

Course layout is superb

Fairways were a little rough. Greens were fast and well mowed. Nowhere to buy a drink afterwards, but there was a cart girl.

stay out of the traps.....or what were traps at one point

For the price point, no complaints. greens were surprisingly good, fairways were okay. 17 and 18 are good finishing holes. they will need to dump a lot of $$ to get this to be a place you have to play, not just a place to play.
