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.

Great Course Layout

Although the course layout is great and the greens are very nice, the rest of the course needs some TLC.

The only negative for me is the condition of the "cart paths", reminiscent of the Oregon Trail......

Could of been worse

The track itself was not bad. Most holes were straightforward with a few tricky ones in there. Tee boxes and fairways were rough. Bunkers were unplayable. Greens were in solid shape no complaints there. Bit busy overall seemed like they overbooked. It’s about what you expect with a 30 dollar round.

a bit scruffy

The course layout is nice. There are no homes along the front nine which is very peaceful as it's just golf. On the back nine there are older style condos and there was a constant beating of music off in the distance. Didn't like that. My review: The greens were good, the fairways were mixed with some areas having lots of weeds, and the cart paths are mostly shot, As it wasn't too expensive I would go back and play again. Obviously this was a decent place at one time in the past.

Cart path

We liked playing this course, however the cart paths are in terrible shape. They really need to fix them,especially on the front nine. Otherwise we enjoyed our round.
