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 Course!
My first time here. Excellent layout with tees for all skill levels. The greens are in fantastic shape and quite challenging. Yeah, the cart paths are horrible but hey, nobody’s perfect.
Great Local Course
Been around for a while. Nice course in good condition
Nice little course
The greens were the highlight of the day. The layout was challenging and the staff was very friendly. I will definitely play this course again.

Good course to play very good layout i would recommend moving up a tee box fairways were good greens were fantastic did not expect that cart paths were very bumpy go slow we will be going back soon!!

Beautiful day. Course in very good shape. pace of play could be better.
Always better than working
Another great day with good friends. Course was in good shape if only we could master the back nine. Lol.
Better Days are Yesterday
It's easy to see that this course was once fantastics. The layout is solid. The land is spectacular. The course is in decline. One thing that I notice in all golf course is the periphery care on the edges such as the cart paths. The paved paths are in terrible condition. The next items I notice is the condition of the traps. I would rate this course a 2 out of 5 for their care of the traps. The areas around the greens were spotty with grass. Too many bare spots. The greens were slow, not to my liking as a 1 handicapper. The price was the selling point, only $20 for the round with a cart, sadly, because that is what the round was worth. It's my second time playing the course and it does have its charm. For $20 I will go back. But if the price is more I'll find a better course to play

This has been the nicest, best kept up course I have played so far since moving to FL. Great value for the money. Definitely recommend others to play here.
Counrey club at Silver springs shores
beautiful landscape
Great greens
Overall great condition.
Cart paths need to be redone
Not great timing
Actual course was solid as I expected-perimeters needed some work- cart paths a little rough, lots of bare spots needing fill, greens were the slowest I've ever played them but still playable-problem today, computers down, start times not in sync, more play on course than what was told, caught group on #4 & waited every shot from that point on-quit on 17 due to rain & felt better drinking beer-waited 10 minutes
to hit 2nd shot on 17, rains came & no way to stay & finish!!
Surprised
Played on a Sunday and was pleasantly surprised by this course. From the road I thought I had made a mistake, now real sign out front, but saw it on the way home. It looks like it’s 100 years old. But have to say the actual course was in great shape, and very challenging from back tee box . The lounge was a surprise as well, great deals and bartender, Kayla was great!
Great. Challenging course. Very nice shape. Thatchedverticut greens not to long ago. Still roll good. Will be real nice very soon. Set up well for season upcoming.
First time here
From the friendly staff, to the easy check in and run out to the first tee, my son and I had a great day of golf. The course layout was fun yet challenging. From the variety of tea boxes, to the wide fairways, and water across the course made it fun but kept challenging. My son just moved to the area, and we will be back!!

Strickj4,
Yes I am a single digits handicap. You are welcome to play with me anytime you want. My home course is in Wildwood. Hit me up and I will arrange a time to play with you. Sorry you didn't approve of my rating. It was honest and others have said similar things about this course. I loved the layout. Quit being a keyboard warrior and let me know if you'd like to play with me at a course of your choosing. I'm up to play with you if you want to. I won't bash you even if your game isn't that good. I enjoy playing this great game with all fellow golfers.
Handicap 1?? No handicap on review. Maybe u need to play Augusta National. This is a great course in great shape. All reviews good except you'res. Things that make u go hmmm.
