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.

Fairways and greens are good… ruff is ruff, and getting ruffer, cart paths are continually getting worse, sand tramps terrible drainage and pretty much most are unplayable… restrooms, they should just close them and bring in port a potty’s ,also being your own TP.

A little rough around the edges

The course layout isn't bad, although the greens are a little too sloping, and some of the pin positions were unfair. The greens and most of the tees are in good condition, the fairways are okay, but not great. The cart paths are bad to terrible. We had some substantial discounts, so definitely worth the price.

Pace of play sucked, but it was a busy Sunday morning, and, let's face it, most golfers are horribly slow with no clue as to how this should work. The greens are plush and very soft, unlike other greens in the Ocala area which are much firmer. It is a better choice than many other courses in area.
