Tucked in the woods of Ocala's peaceful
horse-country are 18 gorgeous holes of championship golf. Surrounded by a
youthful and vibrant community, our golf course boasts natural elevation
changes, tree-lined lush fairways, and meticulously manicured greens that will
provide challenge and enjoyment to every level of golfer. Tremendously sculpted
bunkers and strategically placed water hazards make accuracy a premium, while
the four sets of tees allow players of all abilities to enjoy their round.
Our practice facility features three putting
greens, a 12-acre driving range with 4 target greens and tees on opposite ends,
and a specialized teaching area for our golf instructors to bring your game "up
to par"
Since opening in January 1994, The Country Club
of Ocala has hosted numerous Florida State Golf Association, USGA, and Regional

Amateur Championship (2000), The U.S. Women's Amateur Championship Qualifying
(1999), and The 1998 Southeast Challenge Matches.
A full range of off-course activities are
offered as well, including tennis and swimming. Our beautiful full service
clubhouse with pro shop, locker rooms, dining rooms and lounge is the
centerpiece of the country club facility. It's often the scene for numerous
social events throughout the year. And, it welcomes family activities and
business gatherings with great service from our friendly and dedicated staff.
