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.

Local golfer. Was told I couldn’t walk because people would complain about pace. Got out on the first tee and found a fivesome and sixsome ahead of me hacking it all over the place, LOL. After spending 45 min on the first hole, I managed to bounce around the front nine and get some golf in. Fun course and the bar is great. Range closed because they said picker was down. Depending on your intentions, they’re might be better options in the 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.
1st timer
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?
Don’t pass this place bye
Greens are tricky but beautiful. One of my favorite places to play !!
