Greens where just punched and sanded a heads up would have been nice for the price of the tee time.

Best course in the area!

Course was in excellent condition. The greens could have been a little faster. Being from Myrtle Beach I found this course the most comparable to the 10 or so I have played in Florida. I will definitely be playing this course again.

Greens need work

As usual, the course was in pretty good shape. Except for the greens. Although, normally I like faster greens. These were like putting on glass. Way to fast for the average golfer. The Ocala open is over. Bring them back to more reasonable speeds. We paid $56 on a hot deal. Despite the excellent conditions. That's way too much for this course. The course normally charges 75-$90 to play there. Definitely not worth that. I guess the snowbird crowd will pay that and be satisfied, but I'm not in that group. Sometimes I think they want the general public to play there, but don't really care if they do.

Beautiful Couse

Staff was very friendly and helpful. First time playing and we were paired up with a wonderful couple that really helped us with course knowledge. Course was in great shape. Greens were challenging but fair. Layout was great and the front 9 par fives are beasts. Would love to play this course again next time I am up that way.

Enjoyable

Late afternoon tee time due to earlier tournament. 4-some in front of us was very slow and we had to speed up our play to finish by sunset.
Course in very good condition, fast greens, a lot of roll on the fairways.
