a day at Lake Diamond

Few players out, very hot weather. Greens were good,

a lot of rain this year. However, the fairways in general need work on weeds. Even the green approaches were weedy in some instances. Weather plays a part in that no doubt. I did adjust a few lies due to centipede grass. Morning thunderstorm chased me away after 14 holes so could not see the entire course.

Very nice course!

Arrived about 30 minutes early. Checked in and picked up a cart with no delays. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were able to tee off a little early and didn't have to wait at any hole. The tee boxes, fairways, greens, and bunkers were all in very good shape. We played the front nine and a great evening. We'll be back to play here again.

Ocala National

We had a 7:35 tee time. Fairways, sand traps, greens were in good condition. Rough was rough. Greens are fast and don't hold chip shots. Staff was friendly and helpful. Tee times were right on time and speed of play was excellent. Facilities were clean and check in was fast and easy. Price was very good. Course is easy to find. Would recommend this course.

Pace of Play

Love to play this course. Greens in great shape.Fairways in good shape. Only problem was the two groups of 5 that backed up the course. Don't know if the pro shop allowed the fivesomes or if they joined up on the course but there should have been a Ranger. That was the disappointing part. Maybe early morning play would be better.

Worth a visit

Course is pretty wide open. Thought the par 5's were the most exciting part of the course. Greens were a little brown. Front is much more challenging than the back. Course is nice, but not a lot of character.

Nice Surprise

Nothing fancy here, but a nicely laid out course with many elevation changes and very nice greens. Holes are often challenging due to the pin placements and the difficulty of getting the ball close on your approach. The greens make the course worthwhile, I recommend you try it.

Enjoyable

Pro shop personnel knew his job and did it well, got right out and the starter got us going right away. The course was in very good shape and we moved right along, the greens were soft and quick and challenging. We had a very good round.

Great Value

My friend and I were in Ocala for a golf trip. We booked this course, are glad we did and will definitely play it again. Be prepared for a tough start. If you can get past the first three holes without destroying your scorecard, you have easier holes the rest of the way. Wide fairways, not too much trouble, ample greens, which were surprisingly good. We played with someone who told us all greens and bunkers were redone in 2016. This was the best "bang for the buck" value we experienced in our 5 rounds in Florida.
