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
Great layout
Greens and traps in very good condion rest of course poor , still a great layout and a real good value . I would play again any day
Course Needs some TLC
Course needs to have some TLC, fairways are rough, along with cart paths.....n grass in the bunkers n also need some sand added!
Like the layout of the course Greens were not in bad shape.
We found the back nine more challenging
We look forward to playing this course. Good golf and plenty of wildlife about.
Had company and we had a great time !! I am a local and we had a ball ,Thanks Bob Abbott
Needs lots of money spent on it
If they replaced all cart paths and killed grass in bunkers and put sand in bunkers it wouldn't be a bad course. 3 greens were in rough shape.
It is a good layout and could be a good course.
Tee boxes, fairways and 15 greens good.
Play for $20 or less, lay put of bunkers.
Course needs much attention
Arrived at the course 40 minutes early and got right out to the 1st tee. The fairways have a lot of cow grass, weeds etc. We lost balls on the fairways and many more in the rough just off the fairways. The balls would sit down so far you almost had to step on them to find them. Lost 5 balls and found 4, which were lost to the rough also.
It isn't worth the money to play there now. The greens with one exception were good, but that can't make up for lousy fairways and rough, and oh yes, no sand in the bunkers but plenty of weeds.
We won't be coming back until conditions improve a good deal. There are too many courses in the area that are much better for about the same cost on Golf Now.
A walk in nature
This course has some sloped greens, quite fast and in good condition. Fairways are good. The cart paths are rough. The rough and sand traps are rough. We enjoy the ponds, gators, turkeys, etc. Quite a challenging course.
course is not bad
it was ok not the best of shape but a lot better than Lake Diamond at least they mow grass
No ailver lining
From the onset we should have known the experience was not going to be acceptable. There were no signs leading to the club and the GPS cut out on the Harmon as well as Google.
There was a dilapidated sign out front when we finally found the place.
The cart paths were rutted and in bad need of repair.
The rough was so high that finding balls were impossible.
The golf cart seats were mended with tape and ancient.
The greens were surprisingly well tended.
We quit after the 9 th hole. We even lost balls in the middle of the fairway.
The course was average but the cart path was torn up all along the course which made your ride quite a challenge. For a cheap round of golf it was OK but I wouldn't pay a lot to golf there.
Fun course
While the course is not in perfect condition (not many are) the greens were in great condition. It is a nice layout and friendly to golfers of all levels. I would play this course again and recommend it to everyone.
18th is an interesting and challenging final hole
Love this course! So much wild life we have seen over our visits. Friendly staff!
Great course on the springs, amazing value
One of my favorite courses in the area - well worth the 1 hour drive from Gainesville for me to play a great layout for only $19. About half the holes have water in play and it has some really nice risk/reward holes. Course is in good condition.
This course need fixing
Deplorable cart paths. Hard telling if your in the rough or on the fairway. This use to be the eye of Ocala for golf. Green fairways, brown rough and fairways we greatly outlined . Greens are still in great shape but rest of course has been let go and not taken care of. Hard to believe they have been charging the rates they have for the winter and nothing going back into course. Hard to believe it was the same course I played only a year ago.
