Needs some TLC

The course needs water and work. Most of the traps looked like they hadn't been kept up very well. The tee boxes were pretty beat up also. The greens were for the most part in decent shape and fairly fast, putted well. We will come back and play this course again.

Beautiful Day

As usual the course was in fine condition although the tee boxes were pretty worn down by all the snowbirds. The greens were in great shape and really fast, you didn't want to be above the hole. Just a great day to be playing.

Split Decision

Caught a 1 pm tee and got out a bit early. A friendly threesome asked me to join them on the 1st tee, glad I did, great guys.
Having played this course before I know the front 9 are pretty straight forward and the back nine is where the real challenge is. The fairways were decent and the greens good if not a bit slow. Had a great time and will be back again soon.

Some TLC needed

Although the course was very playable, a few greens are in need of help. Bare spots were numerous on more than one occasion.

As Always

The weather has turned and it's great playing again in Florida's fall season. The course was in very good shape and there are no complaints on my part. The fairways were good and the greens with one exception were very fast. The one exception was for sand on the green to take care of some issues from being aerated.

Been a While

We'd played this course earlier in the spring and it wasn't in as good a shape as it was this time around. The fairways were good and the green's fast and excellent to putt on. If you keep your ball in the fairway or just into the second cut your fine. If you get into the rough grab another ball and move on. All in all a fine day's golf.

Still Drying Out

Beautiful day for October and the course was in decent shape. However there's still some issues due to a wet summer. 4,5 and 15 were cart path only and 8 was down due to tree trimming. The greens however were fast and firm which I liked. I expect to return again.

Again and Agin

We arrived early for our tee time and got out right away. The weather at 7:30 am was fantastic for a change, not really hot or muggy. We've played this course multiple times and always find it in really well maintained shape, both fairways and greens.
Staff is very friendly and helpful. We'll be back again.

Hot September Day

Another hot steamy day in Ocala, Florida. Got started around 10 am and once again found this city course to be in excellent shape. Greens were fast and fairways great. We're coming back soon.

Water Wonder Land

Upon arrival we were informed that play would be only be available on the back 9. The front 9 was unplayable due to months of summer rain. The entire course should have been closed. The rain fell on the back 9 for the same amount of time as the front 9 and it was terrible. A veritable mud pit waiting to pull you and the cart under.
Scratch this course for the foreseeable future.

Bumpy Greens

Got off early at 7:15 am, but was told to play slowly because they booked a 45 person shotgun starting at 8 am on the back 9. Not happy about that! That was bad enough, but the fairways were full of cow grass as were many of the greens. The game is hard enough without having these conditions. We won't be back until they get the course in better shape.

Bumpy Greens

Normal conditions at this course would be a little wet with good fairways and great greens. I guess due to the unusual amount or rain we are getting this year the course is wet, the rough is uncut in many places and the greens are just about shot. It looked like they were worked over and sanded but something happened to the grass because it's like rolling a ball over pockmarks. We won't be back until conditions improve.

Well Maintained

After playing this course many times in the last few years we continue to return. Now that summer is here there's fewer people to crowd the course and slow the pace. We found conditions good and pace great. Prices are down until fall so take advantage and play.

Swampland

Due to a tremendous amount of rain over the last few weeks and what must be a clay base this place was very wet. Most of the rough was floating in water and loosing balls was easy.

The greens were very fast but there were many brown areas. This course needs to dry out before we come back.

Rain Out

Arrived at 11 a.m. to sunny skies and by 12:45 we were drenched. The greens and fairways weren't in the best condition as they had been ariated a few days before. What more can be said, we've had a couple of very wet months.

Soggy Conditions

Continental GC is a decent layout through an older community with fairways winding around lakes and housing. The fairways are fairly wide and unless you slice or hook very badly the homes aren't in any danger.
The conditions of the greens were excellent if a little on the slow side. The fairways however were very soggy after 3 solid weeks of rain. Seven of the eighteen holes were cart path only and made club selection fun. Got a lot of walking in for sure. Other than the wetness there are a few fairways that need a little TLC, but this course usually gets things in good shape, so I will be back another time or so.

One More Time

As usual the course was in very good shape and the greens fairly fast. Being a Muni the pace of play could have been better, but there was some event going on and we saw some fivesomes on the course. This course is always in good shape and provides a great day of golf, and that's why we keep on coming back time and again.

Conditions

The course in general was in good condition with the exception of the greens. They were not as good as they normally are, no big bald spots or anything like that, but a little rough.
We still have a large number of snowbirds here so the pace of play was just a little slow, about a 5 hour round.
