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.

Fun course

Course is beautiful and in pretty good shape for this time of year. Greens were great and that is the most important feature for me. Very busy so pace was slow. Buffet in snack shop was $7 including the drink and smelled great when we signed in. Problem was that after we played and we purchased the buffet it was cold so it turned out to not be a great bargain. Be sure to check out the great carved tree on #4 near the green. It is 'awesome.

Wide open

Played this course as a twosome and we were paired with a couple from Michigan.

Not much grass on the front nine. Also Rees Jones did a redesign that made all the greens elevated with many levels. Unfortunately in practice this results in the greens being very hard to hold and dry also without really good maintenance the grass around the greens tends to get sparse and that's what happened with this course. The website makes this course look very upscale when it is really a very good municipal track. Good value and friendly staff

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
