Not in good shape

I have played here before in the colder months of the year but this time it was in really bad shape. The fairways were awful hard as full of weeds. The tee boxes were un identifiable on some holes. There is no starter or abide watching pace of play which wasn’t great considering the foursome in front us. No water coolers any where in a blazing hot day. Probably won’t return.

Poor condition

In spite of recent rains, course was in surprisingly poor condition, greens were acceptable, tee boxes and fairways poor. Probably some fertilizer along with more water cpuld fix the problem. Tee markers were scarse. Bunkers need sand and less hard dirt. Will skip this course next week.

Ocala National

On course bathrooms are out of order, also the bunkers are pretty much unplayable. We asked why no rakes and was told they haven’t put them out since Covid and the bunkers are getting redone this year. Love the layout, bathrooms in the clubhouse and staff. Would definitely play here again.

Nice course

The course was very nice. It was quite a wait to get a golf cart and they're not fully open inside. Jeff, the bar and restaurant has not yet opened

Recommend with a lot of caveats

Greens were good for the most part, not much else. Tee boxes inconsistent, fairways thin and patchy, rough scruffy but not long or difficult.

I like the routing and “elevation “ changes(for FL).

I will return for the price, challenge, and greens.

Driving range is in bad shape. No cart girl service or water availability on the course.

Great price great layout

Had an around and enjoyed the company I paired up with. Challenging course and beautiful scenery wherever I looked. Did notice no ranger on site but when called pro shop someone came to assess the situation in front of us. Will be back again.

Good value

Greens in great condition. Fairways could use some help. Rough is rough. Bunkers overgrown on edges/walls. Forgiving fairways. Tee boxes very beat up. Tee boxes marked by one marker, sometimes hard to see.

Cart paths diverge into dirt paths- very bumpy.

Basic carts- no gps. Gas powered.

Shop has some shirts and snacks. Sodas and beer /white claws available, decent price. No free ice- $2.99 for a bag. No service on the course. Bathrooms near 7 and 13, also inside the club.

Grab a scorecard when you check in- they’re not preloaded on the carts.

Was $35 on GolfNow for 18 on a Thursday morning 7:24am.

They have a putting green by the club and a driving range between holes 1 and 10.

Would golf there again. Course was fun and cheap. A lot of hills.

Great value and all around relaxing round

This was my first time on course and I have to say it was an awesome relaxing round. Lots of challenging holes and pin settings. All in all I would've loved to see a ranger out there because foursome in front of me were driving up on a few of the greens but other than that it was very relaxing and enjoyable day on course. I will come back soon to Plat again

Great round great value

First time playing this course and it was a total relaxing and enjoyable round. Could've used a ranger of sorts on few of holes that foursome in front were driving up on the greens but other than that pace of play was good and conditions were good as well. As said before very relaxing and enjoyable round will be back to play again.

Greens and Turf were surprisingly good considering the current drought conditions. Way better than expected.

Had a great time there.

super course

The layout was great. Front side requires a stright tee shot due to narrow fairways, Back nine was a littjer grier with less grass, But still playable and enjoyable. Had a great time.
