In Good Shape

The course was in good shape all around (greens, fairways and bunkers). Fairways nice and green from the overseeding.

Another Great Day

12:12 start was windy but manageable-- Course was in good shape despite the golfer hitting the ball ;-) Greens were very true and receptive to approach shots-- Overall a quality experience for a novice golfer- Definitely makes you think !!

Very difficult course

I love this course! Ok so yesterday the course was soft so no roll which makes this difficult course even harder. What I love is the raised greens and long par 5's. The course was in pretty good shape with the exception of the bunkers which are horrible, really not even playable. If you can stay in the fairways and out of the bunkers then you will have an enjoyable round which I did manage. I shot a 79 from the red tee's and was really happy about it because I was able to have the very receptive greens hold my wood shots which most courses don't do. Plus they have the best greens around this area and I made a lot of putts! And last but not least pace of play was amazing! First course I've played in months under 4 hours. If you enjoy a true golf challenge then this is the course to try.

This course has a great layout and elevation changes

The course is a bit rough around the edges but the fairways and greens are quite playable . Hopefully the course will continue to improve .

An average course, at best

The attraction to this course is it's varied terrain. It is a challenging course, with many ups and downs. When the course is dry it's pleasurable to play. Staying on the fairway is paramount for an enjoyable round of golf.

Challenging and Nice Greens

Course is in summer dry conditions. Has not been over seeded yet but after it is will improve. The ruff can cover a ball on some holes because of the type of grass in the ruff. Greens roll at good speed and fairways are good.

Ocala National

I played this course a month ago and the previous reviews were right it the rough was unplayable and the fairways were weeds. But playing it again on Friday the course looked amazing!

The rough is mowed and the fairway weeds were sprayed and dying. They always had the best greens in Ocala. My only complaint was that the bunkers need attention. They are inconsistent and need to be pushed up. But all that said it’s a great challenging layout and a great price. Glad to see it’s coming back.

If you haven’t played here in a month you may be pleasantly surprised.

Cheap price

Only paid $21 to play so wasn’t surprised that the course needs attention. Overall it’s worth the money.
