Great experience

First time playing here. The course was in good shape. A couple of sand traps had standing water in them due to heavy rains overnight. But otherwise very enjoyable. The staff was friendly and I was able to play my round without any problems. I’ll definitely be back

OK for the price, needs better conditioning

A nice layout, great friendly staff, but the course needs some more money and time put into conditioning, It is a pretty place, but that detracts from it.

Another Enjoyable Round at Ocala National

I travel from Gainesville to place this course and always enjoy my rounds at this course. The course has great routing and the conditions are always very good. I would recommend this course to someone wanting to find a place to play regularly this is the place to play. It tests your game and really provides a nice challenge. I will be returning again very soon.

Sad, Sad, Sad

Each time I’ve played here before (4x-5x) I would say...”if they just had only a bit better condition”

This time, it was in horrendous condition and needs a serious overhaul.
