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.

sad to see the decline
I have played this course probably 30 times over the last 10 years. It is sad to see the slow but continued decline to the tee boxes and the fairways. In some spots you have to go 5 to 10 yards to find a playable lie. I will say that they continue to do an excellent job in maintaining quality greens that role true and fast. It is just a pity that the rest of the course is neglected. Were it not for the greens I would not return.
Interesting course
Greens were good but fairways only average, most probably due to weather conditions.
Never again
Showed up for 726 teetime and they had a shotgun tournament starting at 8 AM. No golf for me today. Customer service was horrible and they were not bothered by telling me to leave.
Drought affected
Greens were great
Fairways were rough, little grass to be found
Letting the course go
I have been playing the shores for years they are letting this course go out is in the worse shape that I have every seen. The greens are good but the fairways and tee boxes are not good at all. Very unfortunate this used to be a great course
Fairway conditions
They need to consider shutting down and re doing the fairways … I doubt this is something they are interested in though .
Nice course
This was the first time I've played this course. The condition was very good. Would definitely play again.
NOT GOOD!
played 1 1/2 holes and walked off for a refund.
Course is unplayable
Greens rolled great
Cart paths are really rough, as well as some of the Tee Boxes and some areas of the Fairways, but the Greens were worth the price.
Silver Spring Country Club
I have played this course for many years. It use to be one of the top golf courses in the area. It still has good greens but unfortunately the management refuses to put money back into the course. The cart patches are terrible. The hand trails going us to the pro shop are all loss and wobbly. The rest rooms between holes 14 and 15 are total disaster. The fairways have many bare spots. The course still has a great layout but needs a lot of TLC.
Sad state
Great layout dynamite greens. That’s where it ends. No grass in the fairways bathrooms are so bad I’d rather Soil myself then use their bathrooms. Nobody seems to care this course with good bones Is withering away to nothing
Fairway and greens rough shape
I have played this course multiple times a few years ago and it seemed like it was in much better shape, the fairways and greens are in very rough shape with hard pan bare spots everywhere. Rough to play…
Fun Round
The greens are excellent condition, slower then normal but that was due to it raining while we played, when the greens are dry and in this condition they are a serious challenge and I love it when it's like that.
The fairways are just reasonable rate Florida condition.
Never less we a had a fun round
