GREAT COURSE IN NEED OF TLCa

Nice Rees Jones design with plenty of doglegs and elevation changes. Tees and fairways ok, greens in excellent shape. Traps are simply horrible, so avoid them at all costs! Would be a good idea to remove whatever is left of the "sand" in the traps, put in sod, and turn them into grass bunkers. The rest of the course infrastructure (tee markers, ball washers, water stations, etc) are in sad shape as well. But all that should not prevent you from enjoying this great design in Ocala horse country. Friendly staff and a terrific value course!

Great course great greens but

I had played a couple of courses near Ocala and a couple of guys in our foursome. Had recommended trying this course out. The course has a great layout Treeline everything you would want of course however, the traps Fairway bunkers are horrendous literally no sand mostly dirt and weeds if they ever find the money to buy a few truckloads of sand and fix those bunkers up this course will be awesome.

New course

Seemed short staffed and had to wait 45 min to get a cart. Almost left, but it was good we stayed. Very long course and challenging. Played from the appropriate tees and it was fine. Greens and fairways in good shape. Again, they need carts and 1 or 2 more people.
