Opened in 1969, the Country Club at Silver Springs Shores has been host to a variety of mini-tour and U.S. Open Section qualifying events. It is known for having some of the fastest and most severe greens in the area. Desmond Muirhead, a longtime associate of Jack Nicklaus, designed the golf course, giving it a different character on the front and back nines. The first half of the golf course is a traditional parkland layout that mixes native trees and wide-open meadows. The back nine is a true Florida-style golf course with water coming into play on six holes. Country Club at Silver Springs Shores finishes with one of its toughest water holes, a par 5 starts with an intimidating tee shot past a massive lake that wraps around the landing area. Many locals consider Silver Springs Shores to be one of the best public golf courses in the Ocala area.

Golf in the rain

On time start … excellent greens. When bottle necked, the slower golfers allowed you through. Great golf … despite intermittent showers! The only minor issue is the poor golf cart paths … in need of repair.

Nice course.

This could be such a great course if only they fixed the pathways. Other than that the greens are in great shape and it’s a pretty entertaining course with some challenging holes. First nine holes are very picturesque and the rest not so bad. Will definitely play here again.

Conditions OK

Conditions were better than expected, based on previous reviews. Greens were a little hairy, but that's expected based on the lack of rain. Tee boxes and fairways were average. Good deal for the price

Good Course

The course is in good condition. Greens are great. Fairways have decent grass. Great layout with many dog legs and varying elevation and slope. It is a challenging, fun course at a great price.
