Nice Round

Enjoy this course, however, do not suggest playing on a holiday. Course was slow, lots of folks who I don't think have played much golf, zero etiquette observing them drive across tee boxes, kids running across open fairways and carts on green approaches. Suggest the course have a marshal during holiday plays. Was odd no on course golf cart services, could have made hundreds on this hot day with all the people on the course.

Over grown

Course could be a nice course if it was mowed. Lost my ball several times 5 feet off the fairways. Greens where just punched I understand that so can't say much about the greens. The guy at the pro shop wouldn't get off the phone with his mom until we approached him to buy some drinks the golf carts had no cooler on them and the sand was all mud in the ball repair buckets.

A Grand Old Lady With Some Great Features

As a kid in Ocala 60 years ago we drove by this course many times. Though I wasn't that interested in golf at the time I was always enamored with the beauty of this course. For my 68th birthday this year I decided to play it with my youngest son. First, I must say it is one of the best bargains around. At $25 with the features on this course and some really nice rolling greens, it's easily five-star for value. On top of that, our encounters with golf staff were fantastic and they are very helpful and seem glad to be there. Encounters with restaurant staff are another story. We never encountered any. When I'm willing to give you my money and you're not there to take it, I'll give it to someone else. There were some guys playing cards and appeared to be a person in the kitchen when we arrived who later came out and never looked at us or acknowledged us. They were open but AWOL so we took off. Only other negative experience was two holes we had to stop and wait for the sprinklers to stop. Groundskeeper told us they had to water some pesticide in. I have no problem with that, but they should have done it before I showed up to play golf on their course. That kept them from a five-star review in my book. My son told me today he wants to play again and I'm in total agreement!

Course condition

For the most part greens and fairways were in good condition. Only a couple of greens had bad spots. Fairways were dry and trim neatly
