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.

Slow pace of play

Their tee-times are spaced 6 minutes apart. We had to wait 45 minutes to tee-off because of this. Way overbooked. They need to change to 10 minutes intervals. Once we got to tee-off we waited for every shot. We were a foursome so it’s not like we were extra fast. Will return once the snowbirds leave but will never play in season again. They also left groups start on 10 so as they finished that 9, they had to be placed between groups already waiting to start play. This is no way to run a course. For the few extra dollars you make with 6 minute spacing, you upset every golfer.

Pretty good course.

Greens were beautiful, but fairways were hard as a patio grass. Neat course with a good balance of hazards

Bring your own TP

I hate to start a review about a golf course with a comment about bathrooms but honestly they are horrible. They should just invest in some port a potty’s. The 2 bathrooms are falling apart. No toilet paper or paper towels. One had a nest where an animal was living in the wall. It’s a long course. Nature will call. How hard is it to maintain four bathrooms?

On another note the course itself was in great shape. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were in great shape.

Great Day of Golf

Course was very good considering the amount of rain the day before. Greens were soft most of the bunkers had standing water, but overall a good. Look forward to our next outing here when it is a bit dryer.

Good and bad

Course layout I liked a lot. I thought the greens were in excellent conditions along with the traps and fairways weren't half bad either, when I could find them. Booking people every six minutes is ridiculous and that leads to people on top of each other and more than a few anxious moments with fellow golfers. And if you're going to keep scheduling like that add more ball washers out on the course and FIX the men's restroom with all those extra greens fees.
