General Review.

I had a great time at the course. Golf carts are gasoline powered and start right up when the gas pedal is depressed, unlike other courses I have played. Friendly people on the course as were the community members who lived along the course. A satisfying round of golf in a beautiful Florida setting. I did not use the off course amenities.

Golf Cart conked out

Course is good value and in pretty good condition for wintertime. Staff nice and quickly swapped golf cart with me when mine stopped starting. Carts have torn seats and are in tired condition. Would recommend for low cost round. Paid $25 each for a after 1PM weekday start time.

Nice Design and Course Layout - Needs work!

I enjoy getting out for a quick nine holes a few times a month. The nine hole afternoon rates at Spruce Creek are the lowest in the Ocala area so I decided to give the course a try. (I played this course before moving to Ocala over four years ago and remembered it being a nice, wooded layout.) After playing this course, I now realize the reason the rates are so low. The course is designed very well with doglegs and plenty of oaks lining the fairways so I will say this was enjoyable. The sand in the bunkers was plentiful and a nice soft consistency which made bunker play very good. The really disappointing part was the many dead areas in the fairways and around many of the greens. Some areas looked like they have not been attended to for a long while. Shots around the green were having to be hit off of dirt, sandy ground, or patches of diseased and dead grass. The golf carts had torn seats and the foam padding was exposed. So, this is a great place for an inexpensive round - keep your expectations low and you will enjoy your round.
