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.

Value for the money
The course was in great shape especially for this time of year in Florida. The course is a perfect blend of challenges and ease
The golf path is in need of repairs but overall will go again
Great value? Beautiful greens
Went on a Friday Eve. Followed a twosome. Finished 18 in three hours. Course was well kept. Greens were gorgeous. Tee boxes great. Majority of fairways great as well. Cart path was rough- dirt, broken concrete etc. Gas carts, very basic, no gps, no speaker. However, each hole clearly marked w yardages and brief layout. Booklet at the pro shop details every hole and I would recommend grabbing this if you’ve never played here before. It plays out each hole and strategy.
No usable restrooms on the course. Clubhouse restaurant and bar were busy. Locker rooms good. Pro shop good. Range available. Two putting greens. Loved the challenges along the course. Had a great round.
Parking lot isn’t nice. Don’t go around the bag drop. The loop was flooded with muddy water. Outside looks scary but the course itself if very nice. Would recommend.
Warning!
So disappointing! I played and loved this course for years but man it's awful now. Same beautiful layout but the course is not maintained at all. Warning! Don't waste your time or money.
Most Fairways shot
Greens were great, but the Fairways were toast (except a couple on the back). No rakes in the bunkers, but plenty of heavy sand. It was Memorial Day and there was no Ranger. Seems every Bubba that wanted to try golf showed up. Couldn't finish, only got 12 holes. Tired of waiting on non-golfers that wouldn't get out of the way, even when it was explained nicely. Not going back until I read that the fairways and tee boxes are back in shape.
Great Value for the Price
Everything was good, I just wish they would stop spacing tee times 6 minutes apart. It's not enough time to play. Unless you go out before 8:00am, prepare for a longer day due to 6 minute tee intervals.
sad to see the decline
I have played this course probably 30 times over the last 10 years. It is sad to see the slow but continued decline to the tee boxes and the fairways. In some spots you have to go 5 to 10 yards to find a playable lie. I will say that they continue to do an excellent job in maintaining quality greens that role true and fast. It is just a pity that the rest of the course is neglected. Were it not for the greens I would not return.
Interesting course
Greens were good but fairways only average, most probably due to weather conditions.
Never again
Showed up for 726 teetime and they had a shotgun tournament starting at 8 AM. No golf for me today. Customer service was horrible and they were not bothered by telling me to leave.
Drought affected
Greens were great
Fairways were rough, little grass to be found
Letting the course go
I have been playing the shores for years they are letting this course go out is in the worse shape that I have every seen. The greens are good but the fairways and tee boxes are not good at all. Very unfortunate this used to be a great course
Fairway conditions
They need to consider shutting down and re doing the fairways … I doubt this is something they are interested in though .
Nice course
This was the first time I've played this course. The condition was very good. Would definitely play again.
