Nope

Slow play, lousy course conditions. Carts are being driven right up to and all around the greens. The place appears generally over-used and abused. I won’t be back.

Great municipal course

Good value. Greens ore preys good with a gre rough spots. Fairways are ok with scruffy rough and packed sand bunkers. Layout was very good with enough elevation change to make it interesting.

This is a city owned course that has spent the summer months doing a lot of work to bring the course back to great conditions that they are known for. The challenges created by a major water line break and the courses war on a weed challenge as the course going into the non growing season a weak. Next years growing season will allow our bermuda grass to regain its strength. All the other projects you witnessed when play demonstrates that this muni care about its course and is working to improve it.

No organization

No ranger, no starter, tee boxes not colored, construction but 60 dollars. A joke

Over-rated by others!

I really don't understand recent reviews of this course and can't give it any more than 2 stars. The staff was as nice as could be and the pace of play was good, but otherwise I can't recommend the course unless you pay $25 or less. The greens were awful and don't seem to have recovered from a reported aeration some weeks ago.

Straightforward.

This is the closest course to our new home in Ocala, FL. We pass by this club every day and so it was only a matter of time before we tried it. The price was right and it was a perfect day. The course isn't fancy. The layout is conventional and the conditions aren't perfect. But it's a long, playable, championship course and a good value for the money. We will return.

All around great first visit...

Pro shop staff was delightful & helpful getting us off to the new course nuances. Course was in pretty good shape, wide fairways & some challenging bunkers. Pace of play was robust (which is my pet peeve!) We'll definitely be back!

Would pay more

I really like the layout. I just wish the course would get past the it's just playable level. This could be such a great course if they would just bring up the quality level. One I'd be willing to pay more for. I think I paid $26. It's well worth that, but not much more, unless there's not better options that particular day.
