Nice course...

The course is forgiving for a guy with my abilities, which aren't many!!! It`s pretty wide open and not too many o/b holes...The staff are great, friendly and personable...I find it a good course for me due to my limited skills, but the guys i golf with enjoy the course also...With the golfnow.com prices it makes it worth the ride...

Good, good

Golf course is in great shape. Just learning to play so I appreciate the friendly staff, the fair price and the welcome pace of play. I would think about introducing electric golf carts as the gas ones are noisy, smelly and more difficult to maintain a smooth speed and ride. The cart is the only minor inconvenience I felt. Overall, a good place to play.

A hot day at Ocala G C

It had been some time since I had last played this course, more than 10 years. The course was in fantastic shape from tee to green, really could not get much better.

There are elevation changes and the greens require a good read as they can fool you easily. The only draw back to the day was the heat, really oppressive, but that's Florida in the summer months.

Quick greens and nice layout

I've been playing this course for over 10 years and this is the best it's ever been. The greens and bunkers are great after being redone. The layout is great, easy to navigate and challenging. I hope it keeps getting better and will continue to be proud of my home course.

Always consistent.

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.

Not What It Appears To Be From The Road

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.

Ok

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.

Great municipal

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.

They did a good job!

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.

Great greens

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.

Nice course but greens to firm

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.
