About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 6703 yards
Slope 118
Rating 71.3

The brilliant Terry LaGree design harmonizes with spectacular scenery to create Royal Oaks -- a unique and picturesque course. Powder sand bunkers dot undulating fairways lined by stately oaks and shimmering water. The course, part of the Audubon system, has preserved mature trees and native vegetation, making it a sanctuary for migratory birds and an unmatched setting for your game. The 6,650-yard par 72 course features four tee boxes on every hole. The front nine is characterized by rolling fairways with up to 35-foot elevation changes, lined with tall Slash Pines and Blue Jack Oaks. The back nine features an open meadow appearance with stands of stately live oaks shading some of the greens. Generous landing areas reward well-placed shots.

Fun

Good for afternoon play. A lot of residents play in morning. Always in good shape and pace of play is great as long as you tee off after 12.

Cow Pasture!

Neither Golf Now nor The Oaks mentioned anything about major airiation of the fairways and I mean major!!! There was equipment noise and workers all over the course and 2" spike holes with clods of dirt everywhere! I actually slipped and and fell on the fairway on an approach shot!

NO MORE PAY IN ADVANCE HOT DEALS FOR ME!

Nice conditions

They have kept this course in nice condition through the transition back to the summer grasses. A few tee boxes need grass. But the rest was good. They had just punched the fairways but it was still very enjoyable. . .

Great Parkland Golf Course layout. Pace of play on a Tuesday afternoon was quick. Starter let us go early. Clubhouse staff was very friendly. Condition of course was good even with the aeroification. Speed of greens was rolling about a 10 on stimpmeter. We enjoyed our round and will return!

Poor maintenance of greens and tees.

The course design and layout was fine, with lovely old trees framing the holes. However, the greens and tees were in poor shape. Even the practice green was damaged. I would not rush back to play unless the greens were in better repair.

Beautiful property

The layout and the old trees on the course are beautiful. The fairways are a little thin but the greens are in good shape. Definitely worth playing.

Royal Oaks

Played 5 courses this week and except for El Campeon this was the best of them all. Fairways had plenty of grass and greens rolled true and good speed. They need a little work on the tee boxes but otherwise have zero complaints.

Pleasantly Surprised

The course was in excellent condition (tees, fairways & greens). I've played many area courses and this rates very high among them in overall condition. I loved the layout. I could play this course daily and not get bored of it. What a pleasant surprise! Will be back real soon.

Great course

Play here usually twice a month when in Ocala. They have a relatively new guy in the pro shop who thinks he is the king with all the control that that implies. The rangers, starters, and all others are extremely nice. The course is a nice layout with a mixture of both long and short holes. The course is well maintained and normally the pace of play is always under 4 hours. It is well worth a drive over to play.

Great conditions and layout.

Love the course. The fairways and greens are in excellent condition. However...is there always a however....every time we book through golf now we NEVER get off the first tee on time . We had a 12:00 tee time. At 12:00 there were two foursomes and a twosome waiting on the tee. It happens at this course every time we book a hot deal through golf now. Otherwise, we love the course.
