A fair course for the average golfer

We enjoyed our round at the Ocala Golf Course. We found the course to be in good shape, especially the greens. The lay out was easy to follow and you could see exactly what you were getting into. No surprises. The staff was very pleasant.

First timers

We are inexperienced golfers and took our teenage boys for the first time. Everyone was extremely friendly and patient. We did a 5pm tee time so we wouldn't be there during the busy time. We didn't get to finish out 9 homes before it got dark but it was a great time anyway!

The Villages Alternative

My wife and I live in The Villages. From Jan-Mar it's very difficult to get tee times. So we go "off-campus" and try other courses in the area. We found Ocala to be a comfortable alternative for us. Not too difficult; not too easy. Let's just say it hit the spot. Now that we've played the course, it will not be as much of a challenge the next time.

Nice course

Course is in good shape and offers a variety of difficult and easier holes. The right number of sand and water hazards. Recommend using a power cart because of the hills on some of the holes..... especially if a hot day. Yes we will play here again....

They need to pair up foursomes

We had two twosomes in front and behind us, if the course would've paired them up as foursomes, it would've improved pace conditions

fun yet challenging course

Ocala Golf Club always fun to play, scorecard would indicate fairly short but plays longer, yet not punishing. Conditions were mostly good, greens excellent. Other people might think,"well,, it is a city course, short overall, don't bother," but I think they would be pleasantly surprised.

They should invest in a Ranger!

This was our first time playing this course. We read the reviews and took a chance that there would not be slow play.

When we got there we had to wait for the starter to round up the 3 some off the driving range. Once we got going we had to wait on every hole, they could not keep up with the 4 some in front of them. They were slow off the greens, slow to advance on the next shots, , made no attempt at ready golf and log jammed a backup, this sort of thing ruins a game of golf, you have no consistency in your game. Instead of a starter, invest in a Ranger , but who will actually move the golfers along and have the person taking the money check the golfers in!

We would not consider going back, not worth the money, miserable day, would have just throw the towel in but who has $76 to just thro away now a days!

Enjoyable time

Upon arriving we were pleasently informed of their lunch specials. After checking in my wife and I were paired with two gentlemen, one playing the course for the first time also and a club member. Course condition was very good along with the pace of play, we played in exactly four hours. After the round we enjoyed a refreshment in the lounge, the staff and other members we met were friendly. We will be back soon!

Great shape

The course is in great shape. I was paired up with a couple of good guys and we got to know each well when there were often three or four foursomes on each hole on the front nine. Painfully slow. Greens ran true and the fairways good. The starter prompted us to speed up when we were on the tee box of a par three with the group ahead of us were just making it to the green.

Nice course

Played here on a Wednesday at 1:07. Course was busy for a week day but pace of play was tolerable. Course is a typical 'Old Florida Course' meaning it is compact and relatively short. No trick shots needed but you need to hit the ball straight off the tees. Course was in good condition and the greens rolled medium and true. At $25 per round it was a good day playing.

Ocala Golf Club

A classic old Donald Ross course, its not long, and has a good amount of space to drive to ball on most holes, although there is a couple tight spots out there. The challenge is the steep sides of the closely mowed areas around the greens. Be prepared to be accurate with your irons shots or your ball will quickly run off far away from the green.

Excellent Course

This place was in great shape, friendly starter, his name is Charley and a great guy. Couse is a bit tight on some holes, but rather generous on others. The day we played there was an artist using a chainsaw to carve an old tree on the front nine, he was not finished at the time but there was an eagle on top and another bird he had finished, cant wait to go back and play there and see the finished sculptor. I just moved here a month ago and I will probably make this my regular course as soon as i have played them all.
