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.

Becoming my favorite local course

Becoming my favorite local course, The greens are the nicest greens in the county the rate is great the staff is very friendly the layout is amazing most fairways a reasonable summer a little rough summer very nice rough is average with everybody else but those greens are spectacular. Great layout overall great course today the starter said was the busiest day of the year it was a little slow but it still took between 4:15 and 4 1/2 hours which isn’t the end of the world.

Golf at CC at Silver Springs Shores

This is a great course for the money. The greens are superb and true. Fairways are tight and hard to hit fairway woods off of. They had a cart person on the course and they were very pleasant. I had a very enjoyable round of golf.

Good experience.

Nice layout. Greens were phenomenal. Rolled smooth, quick and beautiful with few imperfections. Best greens we've played on in quite some time. Fairways and tees were good also.

Highly recommend.

Nice country course

My wife and I played first time on Saturday, it was a perfect sunny day and the course is in the country very nice get away. The staff were very friendly and helpful, did not use bar or restaurant due to COVID. The greens were really nice, difficult to read, but lots of fun. Course fairways were wide, but had hills and rolls to add a bit of challenge. The one negative is the cart path is in very bad need of repair, lots of potholes, disintegrated in areas and often folks went off the path wearing down parts of the fairway to compensate. However, we look forward to returning.
