Twisted Oaks Golf Club
Set amidst rolling Central Florida terrain, Twisted Oaks Golf Club offers an 18-hole public course where elevation changes and strategic bunkering create a rewarding challenge.

Course Overview
Twisted Oaks Golf Club presents a compelling blend of traditional Central Florida golf with an elevated test of skill, set against a backdrop of gently rolling terrain and mature oaks. This 18-hole public layout offers a classic experience marked by fairways that weave through subtle elevation changes, lending a distinctive character to each hole. The course's layout encourages strategic shot-making, demanding careful navigation around bunkers that guard green complexes and well-placed water hazards that challenge both accuracy and courage.
The character of Twisted Oaks is amplified by its elevation, an uncommon trait in this part of Florida, lending each round a refreshing dimension of uphill and downhill lies. Players will find the course approachable for moderate handicaps, while still offering enough challenge to engage lower-handicap golfers seeking an intricate test. Greens are typically true but may vary in speed depending on season and maintenance, so attention to pace and break is essential. The back nine is often highlighted for its more varied contours and elevation shifts, enriching the strategic demands as players advance.
Beyond the course itself, the clubhouse serves as a welcoming hub offering casual dining and refreshments, ideal for regrouping after a round or socializing with fellow golfers. The staff’s reputation for accommodating service helps maintain a smooth playing experience, even during peak times. Many reviewers have noted the course’s friendly environment, where a steady breeze helps temper Florida’s heat and adds a subtle layer of challenge to ball flight.
For those planning a visit, walking is encouraged and the terrain is varied but manageable with proper footwear. Golf carts are available by request, allowing players to tailor their experience according to preference or weather conditions. Twisted Oaks Golf Club remains a favored local destination for its blend of accessibility, maintenance quality, and an old-school golf feeling that stands out amid the region’s numerous choices.

Very nice layout and course in good condition. Greens rolled true and fairways have excellent conditions. Old school Central Florida golf course with lots of elevation.
David Pebley
We have had a home base in Ocala for a little over 5 years. Played a lot of the courses both public and private within a couple hour radius of Ocala. My wife and I both love Twisted Oaks. The course is in good shape and the staff is always accommodating. Even on busy days play flows well. This is our go to place now. We feel very comfortable at Twisted Oaks, it's well kept, fairly priced and challenging. Our interaction with the staff and fellow golfers has been excellent.

Great layout. Conditions now are just okay due to dormant grass. Greens are true but very slow. The back nine is in better shape and much more interesting.

It makes me sad to write this review but after the last few rounds at this course it has to be done. I have played this course most of my adult life and I am disgusted with what is happening here. The greenskeeper here should be ashamed of themselves and should quit immediately. In the last year the conditions of this place have spiraled out of control. This used to be the go to course that was well kept all year round but sadly that is not the case now. My question for the management here is what happened? How can a course that was so well kept decline so rapidly? Today will be the last time I play here unless they figure out how to recover from this. Unfortunate because I used to love this course.
