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.

Cart paths, rough & access paths are worse than the last time I played there but I enjoy the layout of the course-better weather conditions than the day before so the golf itself was more enjoyable

For the right price

Yes I would recommend the course, but only for less than $30. 1st the bad. The rough was playable for the most part, but was extremely burnt-out. The greens were in good shape, but the slowest I've encountered since early spring @ Scotland Yard (slowww). Cartpath's horrible. Now the good. Very good layout. I enjoyed the holes. Most of the fairways in pretty good shape. I'll give them 4 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 's. Staff was friendly. I'm sure I'll be back 😌

Fun Course

The course was in good condition from tee to green. The bunkers were not raked but that was really the only issue. The cart girl was great and we saw her four time. The bar was open at the turn and was very friendly. Good value and pace of play was fast!

Always a test

CC at Silver Springs is a great course. Tough greens especially if pins placed for difficulty.

Good Course

I have played the course for over 20 years. Its a great layout with challenging greens which recently have been in fairly good shape.They are rarely cut enough to be considered fast.. The fairways are a different story as well as the cart paths which the owner has no inclination to fix.

In the Winter stay away if you are local as big groups from the Villages come in ,play slowly and have poor golf etiquette ,destroying the pace of play and there is no ranger to help.

In the past several rounds on Mondays ,the course mowers have shown little concern for the golfers sometimes holding up play ,and often clearly distracting anyone but a deaf or blind golfer.. But they have a job to do and it is what it is.

Great Value

Pace of play was no issue because we played in the afternoon of a hot day. I could have given 4 stars for the condition considering the price of the round. That's the reason for 5 stars on value. Don't find greens that nice for that price. We did get a good rate because we played in the afternoon I believe.

Was expecting a cow pasture and got average fairways and tees and super nice greens. Will play it again!
