Ocala National at Golden Hills Country Club

Great layout. Demanding course. Rough is very high and tough. Stay in fairway. Lostballs in rough. Bunkers need work so stay out of them. Greens are great. Layout very challenging. Stay away if you want easy. Play for the challenge. Well worth it.

I play here a few times per month. They’ve done a great job maintaining the course. No one is going to call this course easy, but it’s not the hardest I’ve played either. Some of the big oaks have grown out over the fairway, which will sometimes leave you with challenging shots from the short stuff. It’s also quite long, so don’t be afraid of moving up a tee box.

Played today. Course is in great condition, except for two greens, they need work. I'll play again, I like the course.

Course was nice, the Rough is bad. Good luck trying to find your ball. But overall nice course, tough tight fairways on some, but challenging course,!!!

Been playing here for several years,. While generally worse than in its prime years, conditions have improved a bit with drier weather, and the staff appears to be making an admirable effort to keep greens and fairway landing areas in decent shape while spending less time on bunkers, rough, tee boxes, etc. (a more than fair trade-off). Bunkers are in particularly rough shape because they've removed rakes for COVID precautions, which is sensible. You will absolutely lose balls mere steps off the fairway in some cases, as the rough is essentially not being cut or maintained (especially in wet conditions). Greens had a few sandy patches as other reviews have said, but overall I thought they were rolling relatively true and were not a detriment to play at all. I suggest avoiding after any lengthy periods of rain, but the course is a fantastic value in dry conditions.

Recommend this course to anyone … mature well maintained course that is among the best in the area.

Our first time playing this course. I found the pro shop staff to be very friendly. The course layout was actually pretty good...mature trees alongside most fairways and some hills. Unfortunately, the course conditions were not the best. The front nine conditions seemed poorer than the back 9; however, the conditioning overall needs attention. The bunkers have not been trimmed, the sand is poor; the rough is mostly weeds. Greens had some sand left on them and rolled very slowly. It's too bad the conditioning isn't better because the setting is nice.

Arrived early for our tee time and was allowed to go right off. Pace of play was great. No wait I. Front of us and nobody up our backside all day. We will definitely return!

This course is my favorite. It is always in good condition. However it is now owned by an absentee owner. This is not good. Several employees have told me the owner is NOT providing sufficient funds for proper upkeep.

I hate to hear that because it can be the best in Ocala. Beautiful grounds ,greens that hold the ball. I like it and for the best.

Rough is neglected big time as are tee boxes. Some greens are good while others are embarrassing. Great course for $20 not for $38.

Food and staff Are amazing and friendly.

Curse in really good shape, greens soft, probably needs more water as the sun, wind and lack of rain is not helping. Overall the greens were in good shape. Sand traps need rakes but Covid-19 probably prevents use. Some areas next to fairways need cutting which in turn would speed up pace of play. Staff very accommodating and friendly.

As always I was very pleased to get back to a course I truly believe give me my monies worth. Course was in great condition. I met the course grounds manager and was impressed with his care for the course. I hope it remains as good as it is.

I'll be back often.
