Ocala Golf Club

I don't play the course often. But when I do play it's always in good shape. So I think I'll play it more often.

Driving by Ocala Golf Club gives the impression that the course is straight and flat with little character. That was certainly an incorrect impression. The course was hilly and the holes were challenging and interesting. I would definitely return to play here again. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Received a good deal through GolfNow and played this course. Condition was OK as the greens were just coming in from the winter. It is just not that exciting of a layout.

I thought the course was awesome. Seriously understaffed although the grizzly looking gentleman was nicer than anyone else on my 5 course trip. Great layout considering how small course is. Go on a weekday.

About 6 months ago the greens and bunkers were redone and the results are great. The bunkers have been redefined, the quality of the sand was good. The greens were in excellent shape, smooth and fast. We were well pleased with the effort of the course management in bringing this course back to it's potential.

greens are very fast. they cannot hold a direct shot on greens . would play again

Greens very hard will not hold a shot. Fairways average

Most of the courses in The Villages had poor greens so we drove to Ocala Golf Course and were delighted with our decision. Cost was $30 including cart. Fairways are fairly flat and the greens are overly tricky. Everything was in great shape; the greens were especially good. We finished in less than four hours starting at 2 p.m.

Fun course but greens way to firm, when your approach shot has tremendous height and lands green and bounces with no divot, enough said.

Greens just don't check up even on short chips, had to hit flop shots just to control distance.

Green very firm had to hold wedge shots into the green ball would run across the green in most cases

This course remains in good condition. The greens were a bit hard and tough to hold the ball.. But the grass on the greens was very good, they rolled well. Very nice sand bunkers. We enjoyed our round.

Played the course twice last week. Monday played with long hitters off the blues. Shot a tough earned 90. Friday played off the whites. Much more forgiving, Shot 84. Course plays a bit longer than listed due to long uphill holes and some fairly long par threes.

We like that the course has good grass cover in the fairways which many courses at this time of the year don't have. The greens roll great but being new are a bit hard when landing the ball on them. Overall, good value and worth a visit.

The greens were very good but the fairways could do with some water as they were a little bare in places. Enjoyed the round of golf but was frustrated over the first 9 holes by very slow play. Did not see any marshals around to move players on a little. Having to wait for every shot on all these holes is not a good thing and spoils the enjoyment.

Moderately challenging from the white tees, and decent pace of play mid-week. Great discount thru GolfNow, so a nice bargain for cart and 18 holes. Paucity of rain recently didn't make for the best course conditions, but nothing to truly complain about.

I found it was very slow play, having to wait on nearly every shot

Course is in good condition tee to green. The rough on some of the holes was poor but generally about average for most courses in the area. Greens were very nice.

11:22 tee time w/ wife for $18.95/ea thru Golfnow. Nicest Municipal Course I've ever played. Biily Casper Golf Mgmt is doing a great job w/ this course. Fun & challenging layout. Has elevation changes. Tee boxes in good condition. Fairways w/ wide tee shot landing areas & fairly plush. Fair sized elevated greens rolling fairly fast & true. Informed greens were redone a couple of years back & are in great shape. City of Winter Haven should learn from this course & apply to Willowbrook GC, also run by Billy Casper Golf Mgmt. Gas powered carts w/ windshield but no rain cover in back. Will definitely return again.

There tees fairways and Greens all were well grassed in awesome condition......so many place have no grass on fairways and greens this time of year....what an awesome day.............

The overall conditions were good, the staff was very nice. The Fairways could use a little more grass(over seed,) and more water. The greens were very good and the layout has some elevation and water hazards.

The course differs in that it has five par five's and five par three's. Although we did not eat their this time, it does have a nice restaurant, good hamburgers. It also has a nice pro shop. Did I mention, the price was right ($26) using Golfnow.com

Certainly one of the best public courses we have played in Florida. Challenging but fair. Fast greens. Course layout very attractive and pleasant.
