Country Club of Silver Springs Shores
About
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.

Golfer Reviews
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
Great place
Greens are mint. Great layout. Fairways and tee boxes need work.
Overall the course is in rough shape, but the price is right
Greens are in good condition. Fairways and tee boxes are in poor shape, (especially on the front nine) Cart paths are a joke, with pot holes that could break your back! Many of the sand traps have no rakes so there are footprints everywhere in those traps. The course itself is very challenging, it's just too bad it's not in better shape.
Could be great
This course could be awesome if they could get the condition of the fairways improved. It’s a solid layout, but conditions in a lot of places were just terrible. That said,the greens were really good, and the bunkers were well manicured which at least makes it playable. But for some reason, there were no bunker rakes anywhere on the course or on the cart. A lot of the on course fixtures (ball washers, etc.) were old and in rough shape. I really hope this is a place that they’re trying to fix up as I’d love to come back and play it again if it was in better condition.
Perfect day for golf
Weather was perfect really enjoyed the day on the course. Pace of play was good no wait, greens were good all be it a bit slow. Dry weather has impacted fairways grass in need of water. Staff very friendly overall good day on the course look forward to next time.
Hometown favorite
Golf here every time I am in town. Reasonable and in decent shape.
Rough course
As an above average golfer, I like to have grass in the fairways and around the green. While the greens were in decent shape, the fairways and around the greens were mostly dirt. I have played this course many times over the years, but not in quite some time. It is in as bad a shape as I can ever remember. Will not be playing again if any other course is available.
SilverSpring golf
Cart paths have needed repair for at least the past 10 years. Green are good. Fairways are bad. The layout is good.
Communication
We had a tee time for 18 holes for 9:49 and the when we arrived they told us they had a tournament booked for 12:30 and that we needed to return the carts by 12:15. We had already paid and they told us to get in as many holes as we can. They offered a rain check for 9 holes but we were only in town for a couple days. Not the best experience.
Disappointed
Fairways are rough, greens are ok. Pace of play was horrible. Almost 3 hours to play front 9. We got to 10 and a twosome that turned into a 3som appeared on the tee in front of us. Called the pro shop and they said they would handle it. They sent a teenager out to fix. He came back and told us they yelled at him told him to beat it. He said he knew them and was calling the manager. Never saw a soul from course again. The played ridiculously slow. Left carts all over the fairway. One guy appeared to be giving a lesson to another. Totally ruined the day. 6 hour day. Had not played there in years and probably will never again.
