Should have closed the course

We understood it had rained alot the last 3 days. But when you cant walk on the fairway because its so soaked and it is currently raining you should close and refund. We paid for 18 holes , played 7 and didnt even ask for a refund because we wouldnt return. 300 rounds booked on GN and we were bamboozled on this course.

Dishonest Course Again

Overseeding without warning on GN. No discount for the conditions. The grass in the fairways and rough was 4 to 6 inches and the greens were not puttable. inch long grass on the greens. We drove 45 minutes with NO WARNING and were offered nothing for the trouble.

Twisted Oaks has done a great job getting this course to a beautiful looking course and now a well maintained course. The recent overseeding worked great and we had a perfect day of Golf.

Got to play if in Ocala

We play Ocala National once a month or so and we are always surprised how uncrowded it is. It was in Fabulous shape, the greens were perfect and no one in front or behind. Play 1 tee box up from your norm and go enjoy this treasure in Ocala.

The truth is better in the end

We were told the course was in great shape. We were told its a top100 course. Well the TRUTH was ,Cart path only, casual water the size of football fields. 5.5 hours to play in 97 degree heat. 916 tee time , teed off at 935. Thats alot in Florida summer heat. Every bunker was unplayable. No discount, 13.00 for practice balls. Then when we were leaving the pro shop was telling another guy on the phone how great a shape the course was in. Then he offered the next golfer to switch to Pine Barrens because the course we played was " not really playable". What a poor business decision to take your money and assume they will never see us again. We live in Ocala!!!

Warnings are needed for this coirse

The course was in rough shape. Lots of bare spots, and ground under repair. However the entire back 9 has giant construction trucks everywhere. Dirt flying through the air. They paired us up with walkers and we were in a cart!!. 4 hours and 50 minutes. Then our walkers tell us they paid 44.00 and we paid 66.00. We should have been warned about the conditions and never charged 66 bucks. We live in Florida and play championship courses for 40. We will not return.

Thanks Candler

We normally get treated like low class because we book on Golf Now. This time we were treated kindly and I believe it contributed to the round of my life. The conditions were perfect and I shot a 78, which is my personal best.

Small Fairways...Why no Grass?

We give local courses a chance from time to time that were previously struggling. The new management at Spruce Creek has made some leaps but have a long way to go. For a very narrow course, if your in the fairway you should be on GRASS not dirt or mud or weeds. If you have such thin fairways, keep grass on them. Also time to trim some overhanging trees.

Thank you for Fixxing this course

We have dealt with so many issues with Ocala National. Very wet, thin grass, no cart girl, you name it. Today all is right again with Ocala National. Beautiful Greens, surrounds, fairways, and a cart girl. Who ever has taken over managing this course deserves a medal.

"Last Chance" Not returning

We have given this wonderful layout so many chances to get it right. Every time its soaked to the bone . Cart rules to avoid all of the mud and mess. Un mowed grass everywhere. Muddy bunkers. Lost 9 Golf balls 10 feet from the fairway. They have lost our business for good. What a shame.

As good as it gets

We play all over the country and pay up to 150.00 to play great courses. Granted Candler does not have a classic layout or bulkheaded Par 3's over water, but the conditions today were as Good as any we have ever played anywhere. Perfect rough, greens, bunkers and surrounds. Perfect.

Hire Golf Ball Spotters

We have always loved the layout at Ocala National, but they continue to try to break the record for long rough. We had 3 players, who lost 13 golf balls just off the fairway. Super wet areas and spots around the bunkers that was 12 inches high. Provide a few sleeves of balls or hire spotters, or just cut the grass.

Breath of fresh air

We have played many courses this summer already, and the baked out conditions of most has been frustrating. Not Juliette Falls. Perfect conditions and a beautiful layout. Of course its hot in the summer here but for 36 bucks we couldn't have been playing a better course.

"Putting on DIRT"

It's the most disappointing round we have had this year. The fairways were terrible and the greens were actually DIRT.

From Junk to a Jewel

This course when owned by a bank was in serious danger of being the worst course in the worst shape of any course in Ocala FL. After new ownership took over, this course has improved 1000%. The Greens and surrounds were perfect and the fairways are getting better and better. Great Job.

No Bueno!!

We arrived to NO bag drops in front. Carried our bags 100 yrds to the check in. No carts were available due to a tournament that shot gunned just before us. It took 5 hrs to play a course that I lost 6 balls on IN PLAY. Plugged in MUD. We drove from Ocala and realized Again that we just need to stay home. * top notch courses here in Ocala for good prices.

Fantastic

We played some of the Best conditions in all of Central Florida at Ocala Palms. With the harsh cold weather we've had the course was super Green and trimmed perfectly. We play 80 rounds of Golf a year all over Florida and this little course was impressive.
