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.

Thin fairways
Greens were very good, fairways were thin resulting in tight lies. Cart paths need a lot of work.
Enjoy
Could be better, but for the price you can beat it
Nice layout
Great layout and great pace of play. Very fun and good condition. Greens were a little slow but that’s ok.
Nice course for the money
This course was fun. Tees were fair shape, fairways were decent and wide with some rolling hills, and the greens were in great shape, although the greens are challenging (slopes). Previous reviews were right, the cart paths are rough. That’s fine! It was a great course at a good price and I was there to golf!!!
Great, fun course
Great greens , good fairways. Just keep the ball in the fairway.
5 hour round, enough said...
Can't do a 5 hour round and don't want to or have to with so many courses available in Florida
Course was in good condition but the pace of play was one of the slowest I have ever played. It took 5 & 1/2 hours to play
Good course conditions
Enjoyed the round. Greens and fairways were in good playable condition. Cart paths need some work and are very rough in some spots. Also some signs would help. Got lost going from 18th tee to 18th fairway!
Course is tough. Greens are very good. Not as wet as other places. Balls actually bounce in fairways. Overall very good course for the money.
