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.

Golfer Reviews
Tremendous design
Course has awesome variety and great assortment of holes.
Surprised by elevation changes on many of the holes.
Fairways are a bit thin, and green sides are a bit rough..... but awesome course design trumps everything for me.
Cart paths are well overdue to be re-done.
Wow!
First time playing thanks to Golf Now.
Terrific course. Lots of challenging variety. Greens are HUGE with some significant breaks. Difficult to read but true. Go there. Play and enjoy.
Friendly Professional Staff
Very friendly and professional staff from check-in to ranger to bartender. Nice course layout, good variety of holes and challenges. Fairways were a little rough, but not terrible..greens were good. Would definately play again. Nice restaurant on site too. Lots of two-some and single players on course..tried to let singles play through, but didnt always make a difference. Players were friendly and cooperative too.
Five hours
This is a great course if you like playing behind a 5-some for 5 hours. I’ve never seen so many people driving their golf carts all up around the greens, it was like the Wild West. Greens are a little mushy and currently winter rye. The fairways are hit and miss, wet in some areas and dried out in others. I’m sure the course is ok for the locals but I will not drive an hour to play here again.
A thinking man course.
5 sets of tees to choose from. If you think you hit a long ball, you better be on your A game. Challenging shots over water, long holes, and plenty of traps to try and grab your ball as it makes its way to tbe green
And then there's the greens, all in good shape, no burnt or dead patches. Undulating greens that give you a trying par attempt.
We will play here again
Badly maintained
The club house needs work lights where not on in the bathroom
The course is in really poor condition the only thing that was in good shape was the greens. The cart paths will knock your teeth lose . The fairways need grass it’s like hitting off dirt.
I am not going to play this course again.
Awesome!
Great layout, challenging holes and in great shape!
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.

Beautiful day. Course in very good shape. pace of play could be better.
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
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.
