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.

Good
The back nine is a of fun and challenging. The par 4s are long but the par 5s are shorter to balance out for distants
greens are in good shape
Can't beat the price for a round of golf/cart, and location is close to where i live, easy to find, course has driving range and two putting greens.
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.
great for the price
The course was in pretty good shape green was not as fast as I seen before ....but for the price it was a great place to play course give you a good challenge. ...
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!"
Lots of character!
We enjoyed the layout and the challenge. The course condition was suitable for the time of year(winter / dormant).
ok course
fairways bad ,greensgood to very good could use better care good layout would reccomend if you get a good price
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.
silver springs shore
cool day. Greens in great shape Overall course condition is average. Good value.
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.
First Vacation Round
Its a tough little course. It was busy but everyone was trying and moving. Played on theist and2nd.
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.
It's a long one
Staff was outstanding. I will be back again. Can't say enough.
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
Nice layout
Played this course again since a year, noted detoriation of the golfcart paths, watercooler housings broken and or rotten
Clubhouse had refurbishment of the dressingrooms , however only fit for purpose
Also on the course fairways are not as good as they were before
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!
