Country Club of Silver Springs Shores

Greens were good a little slow. Fairways were thin, but getting better since the drought

Read the history of this course.! Jack Nicholas design, the course started as a very exclusive country club. The design and layout is spectacular. After about 7 years it couldn’t make it and was sold and has been public ever since. Unfortunately it fell into serious disrepair, however today the Greens are true and in fabulous shape. Tee boxes are adequate.with six positions for every level. Some of the views , especially on the back nine are good enough that our group stopped to take pictures. The cart paths are rough. The fairways have grass and it’s properly cut but a tad bumpy…not bad but not what you would expect from a $300 round at a Jack Nicholas course. Fortunately at least now in the summer you can play 18 for $35. When it was private it hosted several PGA events. In fact Masters winner Zack Johnson won his first PGA tournament here and set the course record that still stands (62). I beat Zack’s 62 the other day but they had to spot me the last 4 holes. And I got the privilege of teeing off from the senior tees . Hey I’m 75 and shot a 78 so not to bad.

Course is very playable. Decent greens and fairways. Cart paths are very rough in places. Hit or miss whether there will be balls available for the driving range.

First need to inform grounds staff to clear fairways and greens when golfers present. Very hard to play when mower on the green (he did see us) and continued to mow then followed us next hole to do the same thing. Greens ok fairways very rough and patchy. Luckily I got it on a hot deal.

This course is in need of some serious maintenence. Cart paths are very poor and the fairways were covered with goosegrass weeds. The greens were in very nice condition. It is a seriously funky layout that makes it hard for a first time player to figure out some shots. Try to hook up with someone who knows the course the first time you play here.

This had been a very private course at one time, with an amazing layout. After several years of neglect the current caretakers have made an amazing turn around. The greens are some

Enjoyed the course very much and the greens were excellent. Only two things that we found to be negative was that on many of the holes straying just off the fairways resulted in rough so high it was nearly impossible to find one's ball. Searching in the high growth made it not only impossible to find the ball but also slowed the round down greatly and holding up others. The other negative was the first time we played the water coolers had cold water, this time when we played the coolers were empty. It's FL so water should always be available. The people that work there are great and very hospitable. Thumbs up to the staff

Lost several balls in thick rough. Greens are tough

but in great shape . Course has taken a hit this summer probably due to the drought. Still fun to play!, great layout. Everyone very friendly!

Nice Greens. They were in great shape but the rest of the course needs help. But really friendly staff.

Great course that isn’t super expensive but good quality. Has a laid back environment. Great drinks. Great bartenders and cart girls.

The course is in great shape. The crew has done a fabulous job. Played there couple weeks ago and it is in better shape now than then and I bragged on it then.

Drove down from Gainesville while visiting my parents and played yesterday for the first time. I loved this course. It is wonderfully unique by comparison to most Florida courses. The layout is fun and interesting and the 6 sets of tees offer a great experience to all levels of player. The greens were in great shape and feature lots of undulation. You’ll want to stay underneath the hole when possible. Tees were in pretty good shape and pretty level. The struggles here are the same as most public Florida courses. They’re battling from the dry spring and the weeds had ample opportunity to grow in before the Bermuda could push them out. There are patchy spots and the rough is hit and miss, but again, very similar struggles to other places. That said, no shots were impacted by lack of grass (also, if you feel like you need that to hit good shots, maybe pay for some lessons instead). This place needs to be shown some love from the community and get some more play so that they can afford to give it what it needs to be great again. This is truly a wonderful track and it would be a shame to see it go the way of so many other courses. I will definitely be back!

This course was in fantastic shape. Tee boxer on a couple places need water - nothing serious. Fairways and greens were really good.Snack bar and pro shop personnel were on top of their game and starter was spot on. Highly recommend this course
