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.

CC Silver Spring Shores

Got a last minute Hotdeal so a great value. Arrived about an hour early and they let me out since no one was there. I do understand the tee-time policy most courses enforce for us Golfnowers but on occasion you get to go early. Course was in good condition, tees, fairways and chipping areas fully grassed and pretty lush, Greens are very nice with alot of slope and medium speed. Bunkers were inconsistent sand wise but OK. Cartpaths are torn up and it was better to try and avoid them when possible. Layout was very interesting. Some crazy doglegs with lake on the left or right and some tough par 3's. Fairways were very wide and forgiving, I hot some terrible drives and only lost 1 ball in the water, I'd play it again and recommend.

Golfnow User

For some reason, for the last 3 or 4th times, the inside staff made rude and pointed comments to any Golfnow Users. In particular, a single who registered in front of me, was told "if you weren't a Golfnow User...we might 'work' with you". For my part I put up with their rudeness and say "yes sir!"

Was not good

The greens are in perfect shape. The rest of the course is in poor condition. I do not know if it is from the weather or neglect. We have played this course in the years past and it was in very good condition. When I am in Florida next year I will remove this course from our rotation and put in a course like Candler hills or Stone Creek.

This course has great greens

This course had great greens. they were in beautiful condition.The fairways were ok. The carts are pretty old but they run ok but as long as course is in good shape , that's all that matters. I wouldn't pay more than $30 bucks to play unless they improve some of the other amenities.

second time around

The over all conditions were good. This was my second time playing this course. I purchased a round for $31 which Included half a cart. Yes that's right. I had my handicap son with me who usually drives, I was told there was a $15 extra charge for riders. They waved it for this one time. Then I was grouped with a couple who just walked in and paid same price. Pace of play was awful they jam them in about 7-10 minutes. Not sure when I'll be heading back.

Course is very challenging.

Course is fine but everything else is fair to poor. The carts are old and like driving a Mack truck. The cart trails are horrible. The rest rooms although improved are still not acceptable.

Definitely worth playing.

There was a wide variety of shapes for the holes and good use of water hazards and undulating terrain. Greens were in good condition. Cart paths are terrible and many bunkers were filled with water, however, this should not prevent a visit to this course.

Slower than usual

In two ways. First, we (a threesome) got behind a foursome who were very slow (5 hours). I once saw three holes in front of them and the field was clear (front nine). They had no regard and there was no ranger to speed them up. Second, greens here are usually peppy. They were extremely slow and unpredictable today. Sorry

Great day out

Course was overall in very good condition.Cart paths a bit worse for wear.
We chose the tees that represented a similar challenge to the length of our own course in Scotland and we were not disappointed.
Greens were tricky and in excellent condition.
We found it to be excellent value.

Great course for the money

Challenging course, but very scenic. The back nine is especially difficult with plenty of water. But who doesn't like a challenge?

The selection of 6 tee boxes made it easier for our two women players to find an acceptable starting point.

Great course at a good price!
