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.

Great experience
Fairways in good shape. Greens in very good shape. Be prepared for a lot of up and downhill putting. Some holes need course mgmt. on your drives. Loved playing here for the first time. Will definitely be back.
Friendly course with good layout
My wife and I played 18 and found it to be a good round.
Great Shape
"The Shores" is in great shape. This course has the best greens of any course I've played this year. They are lush and smooth with no weeds or bare spots. The fairways are also in good shape with plenty of grass. New sand in the bunkers this year makes them very playable.
I like it, will play again...
Very nice layout. Fairways and Greens in Great shape, some tee boxes need a little help. Like mentioned in other reviews, cart paths are in rough shape but in no way a deal breaker for me. Played forward tee's with dad (senior) so an enjoyable day and would say that thru the middle tee's. If you play the tips or one in from the tips the course can be a challenge. I look forward to playing there again.
Great value course one of the best
I would drive over an hour to play these greens. Absolutely perfect and I’ve played all over the past few weeks. 35 bucks for a typical rolling target golf Desmond Muirhead course an absolute steal. Can’t stress how awesome the greens were. A lot of other courses in the Orlando area has rough dirt patched greens right now.
Great Front 9
Front 9 is as pretty a golf setting as you can ask for. The back 9 winds through old duplexes. It’s odd, but the course is what matters. Great greens and level tee boxes.
Down side, It should be called a semi-pro shop. Not even a golf towel for sale.
They also need to partner up with a local paving company. The cart paths are trash. It’s their own golf carts that are taking the punishment. Where’s the motivation to make these common repairs and upkeep?

Beautiful day! I was paired up with some great guys. However, there was a shotgun start in front of us and pace of play was really bad. Overall course conditions were good, especially the greens. Enjoy playing this course.
Course
We arrived 40 minutes early to find that they were out of carts. P.eople were standing around waiting. We teed off 45 minutes after our tee time only because we asked two folks if we would could pair up with them. We waited on almost every hole. The par 3 was five deep. It took four hours to play 9 holes. We quit after 9 and asked for a rain check and they refused. Great customer service!! We will not return.
Very frustrating day of golf.
Always better than working
Course was in great condition, got to introduce a new friend to it for the first time. Great day out with great friends.
Overall great course
Overall great course
greens are overall very good and they are six or seven of them that are truly magnificent absolutely pristine. The fairways are OK as good or better than most of the courses but like most of the other courses time of year plays a role in their condition. Pace of play was fantastic today we waited literally 45 minutes maybe two or three times all day
One of my favorite places to play!
Excellent greens and conditions were very good. Will continue to play on a regular basis.
Played the same day. 15 minutes wait at t time. 4hours and 15 minutes to play. I don't know where this guy's was. Don't blame course because u r 40 minutes early and they don't a cart waiting for u. This is a popular course and u have to wait ur turn.
