Old Florida Track that has seen better days.

Sad to see but many courses now suffer from not being able to afford to maintain their course anymore. Once a great layout with fast greens has become barely playable.

Getting Better

The course is getting better but the greens are almost unplayable in this condition. Things were smooth at first but once we came to no. 6 it was a dead stop. The next three holes took 30 minutes each and no ranger in site. A foursome ahead had four groups piled up at no. 9 tee box. Quit after 9 because no confidence in the course solving the problem.

Surprisingly Good

Better than it has ever been. While I would rate the course a seven overall. The comeback of this former Gary Player layout has been unbelievable. Greens are good to pretty good, it just needs some rain for the fairways to grow in.

Excellent course layout

Finally making its comeback! After a couple of years of fighting the greens they are finally coming back. Nice layout and beautiful clubhouse. Fairways a little long for my liking keeping this from 5 stars. Also a couple greens on the backside have some spots. All in all though a great day!

Nice Course, Fast pace in afternoon

Course is rounding into shape. Some greens especially on the back still affected by the fungus. Pace of play was incredible on a hot friday afternoon. 3 hours. Good layout, like almost everyone around here need to fight the fungus.

PACE 7 HOURS

Could have been good. Except rude check-in and no communication on who i was playing with and when to go out. Rude front desk. Took 4 hours and 10 minutes to play 9 holes. NEVER AGAIN.

Best Par 3 with one of the Best Starters Ever

Great little course on Beach and along the coastal waterway. Got put out on 5 so I could get ahead of crowd and play 18 in under three hours. One of the best Par 3's I ever played.

Nice Track

Good condition for the rain the area has had. Still a little slow on greens but all in all very enjoyable. Played through three groups and finished in under 3 hours. Great timing.

Good Local Course

Nice staff but course needs work. Usually good greens but were punched recently. Wish you could find out when courses punched their greens. Just ok tee boxes and fairways. Played through three groups.

Excellent pace of play--3 hours for three of us to play. A little bumpy on greens probably just a week or so out from being punched.

Response from on 05/14/2017:
Wow! Nothing better than a round of golf in 3 hours. We apologize if the greens were still recovering but we hope you'll join us again in the near future.

Nice Holes along the Ocean.

Great layout. Only worry is the long drive between holes and the traffic of people from resort stays. Greens were in good shape and fairways have come back from treatment. Ranger and cart staff were great.

Not worth it!

Rude cart staff and check in. Seems like they dont want Golfnow people to play. The course is in rough shape and has been this way for a while. The layout is nice but doesnt seem like they can keep it playing at up to the other Ocala courses.

Typical Day at Palm Harbour

As usual the fairways are a little rough and the greens a little slow. But, all in all for the price an excellent value. Will play again.
