Rating 74.1

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.

The course was great. The only problem I had was that they use pot holes for speed control on the cart paths.LOL

Cart paths need some maintenance

I play early in the AM as I am from up North, so the pace of play was quick (mostly as fast as I wanted to play).

The course is user friendly for all skill levels, and the greens are consistent, somewhat slow, but consistent.

Overall the course is great. Like a lot of courses right now, the fairways could use a good drink. The greens are lush and beautiful. Good value

Poor Course Booking Management

Happy to have a 10:30am tee but at the starter at 10:30am they were still sending off a group of 30. Obliviously they didn't care about anyone's tee time and took the money for a large group. We finally went off at 11:15am and it took 6 (yes SIX) hours to complete the round, terrible!!! I've golfed this course several times and it has always been 4 to 4:30 hours. I was excited to show this course to my wife, she won't be going back!!! What good is a tee time if the club does this?

Silver Springs

Cart paths are in disrepair. Fairways are not great but the greens are good. The lakes are weedy. The club house is fair condition and the staff was friendly. Price is a high for these conditions.
