Oh my!! Playing the course right now. The fairways are very thin and the greens are eaten up with…read moresomething. Tee boxes are weedy. Sure wish they would have told me this when I made a tee time. $46 per player. Not worth it. And tell your residents not to walk their dogs on the course during play!!!

Nice design. Greens are difficult but fair. Carts need some help dirty and age is showing…read more The main reason for the 3 star rating is course conditions. They were not good. Tees, fairways and rough were far from acceptable. I dont think many people fill or replace divots. The cart path is really atrocious. Frankly, it's embarrassing. For a private club they could do MUCH better.

Best course in town by far. I'm glad to be a member. Thanks Morgan for making delicious drinks. And great job to the groundskeepers for making the course look amazing. By far the best course and club in Ocala!!

Read what people posted about Pine Oaks we thought it is an ok course…read more Looked fairly well maintained, if they want to see a bad course go play West End in Gainsville, now that is truly a bad (very bad) course. Husband refers to course as playing in the dirt. Yes Pine Oaks greens cld use some work, and fairways were not perfect but as stated above we played a lot worse in the area.

The course was in okay shape. Good layout, with well placed water hazards and bunkers. The greens…read morewhere slow, and the ruff was thick and tall. The tee boxes were cut well. The practice green and chipping areas are nice, the driving range is short and maintained somewhat well. If the course was maintained better, this course would be fantastic.

Love this golf course. It's so pretty & well kept. Club house personnel are very nice. They have…read morea good selection of clothes. Average pricing for the area.

This was my first time that my teenagers have ever golfed (other than very nice driving ranges). I…read moreused to golf quite frequently at very nice country clubs in Atlanta. That being said I didn't have huge expectations for this experience for the price. This is a Par 3/4 course that also has a driving range. What we got for 126$ on a Friday (which is probably more expensive than other days) was the following: 2 golf carts (very nice ones)- you must be 18 to drive and they take a DL as guarantee 9 holes 3 sets of clubs (I have a broken leg, so couldn't join in) I did cost 20$ to ride along 10 balls 10 tees We had to wait a bit for a golf cart, but you can also walk the course if you want the exercise (not us!) It was a beautiful day and the staff was friendly They had inexpensive snacks. Not a huge selection, but 2 jumbo hot dogs, chips, pickles, lollipops and 2 coffees was only 13.50. I highly recommend this facility for fun and beauty for beginners and experienced golfers for this 9 or 18 hole course!

Worst golf course I have ever played. Absolutely…read morenon-maintained. Poor grass in the fairways, if there is any to be found. Tee boxes filled with green colored sand, bunkers are absolutely horrible, no sand and overgrown with weeds. Fungus and burned grass on the greens. Saw 2 bunker rakes on the entire course. See attached pictures.

This is my summary review of Golden Ocala as a whole (the individual quadrants aren't available to…read morereview as particular establishments). Please bear with me as I try to guide you through life at Golden Ocala. Home/Villa Rentals: 5 stars! Amazing accommodations for a really reasonable price. Whenever we have larger groups of people visiting this is our first choice. Comparable to a nice hotel, the beautiful villas are lush and abundant in size, with beautiful furniture and full GO access. Spa: 4 stars! I love the massages here and I am a regular during the winter months. The front desk can be a bit slow, but this is mostly due to their faulty technology. The staff member are all super nice. I give 5 stars for the services but 3 stars for the prices, which were recently increased. Worth it for me but definitely on the pricey side. Fitness: 4 stars! Best part is, the fitness center usually isn't too busy. They have some great equipment but could use a few more cardio machines. More space for floor exercises and a few more unique guided classes could up the ante. Tennis Club: 4 stars! 6 Well maintained, gorgeous clay courts. It can be a bit of a hassle to get ahold of the staff (unless you have their cell #) the tennis desk usually isn't receptive to phone calls. Love the women's clinic they offer for members. Lessons are also available and I've had mostly positive experiences with the coaches. Pool: 5 stars! Gorgeous pool- it's so picturesque, located adjacent to the spa and fitness center. Enjoy a drink poolside and take lots of photos. It's definitely instagram worthy! AND you can bring your dog. Pool Food: 3 stars! Decent variety of food, but I've had some pretty sub-par service here. We eat here occasionally for lunch, but the service really could use some improvements. Once, they even refused to add tomatoes to my Caesar salad because "it wasn't on the menu like that" Raspberries: 4.5 stars! Fine dining situated on the upper floor of the gorgeous clubhouse. I love the food and the company here. The staff is outstanding and really take their time to know and love regular patrons like me. The dauphanise potatoes are amazing. Epic Caesar salad, great bread, potent drinks, high end wine list, excellent menu features (flatbread of the week etc) I love dining here! The kitchen staff can sometimes be a bit slow, but this year (so far) I've had nothing but great experiences. Golf: TBD I'm not a golfer! The course is beautiful to walk and the greens seem to be kept in pristine condition. Security: 3.5 stars! The staff mostly consists of retirees working occasional hours. They aren't the most respectful and fail to remember who I am sometimes. Equestrian: TBD can't wait to see The World Equestrian Center South once it's completed. The original equestrian center at GO isn't quite what I would pursue, but the new facility looks grandiose. Overall I love Golden Ocala! A few minor things could be improved. In my 10+ years living here in the winter months and being involved in the dining, social, tennis, and spa scenes, I have had a mostly great experience. A few faux pas and minor altercations with certain staff members have been forgotten and far surpassed by positive interactions. Note: Golden Ocala is a member's only club. They offer social memberships but otherwise you must be member, (or family of one) to enjoy their accommodations. Social memberships are not cheap but can be utilized if you wish to spend lots of time here.
