Green are so bad. They said 10 was the worst. Well 17 of them were bad and the 9th was the only good one. Still paid over $50 dollars. That was robbery!! They also have no bar or food still. Wow I used to love this golf course. Money needs to be spend on that course and amenities.

Course is great, but the attitude of some players isn't. Yesterday we were approached by the ranger who told us that the 2 men behind us reported us for being slow and parking where we shouldn't. I told him it was because they hit into us as we were walking up to the green. They never asked to go ahead, so when I said you into us, their reply was what is your point? Really, come to find out they live there and are members. So I guess they have preference. I had a group of 10 women there and we will not be back, after the way we were treated by the ranger and their residents.

This course is so poorly managed it’s not even funny. Brought a group of 20 to Ocala for a week of golf. Confirmed with Jackie on 2 separate occasions that we were on the books and good to go. Even gave CC information. Get to course the morning of our round and they have nothing saved for us. Golf pro John was called about it and we were told “they will figure out out”. Patty showed up and said “you were never put on the list because you never gave us any names to put on the tee sheet” What?! First you never asked us for any names, and secondly, we gave you CC information to hold 5 tee times. Hopefully Linda that had tee times at 9:30 was able to play since it was stated she didn’t have names on the list either. On top of the fiasco that is management, the course was really not in good shape. It needs to be cut and the greens are pretty bad. Save your money and go elsewhere. Only reason I gave this 2 stars is because they actually got us on the course even though we had to start 3 groups on 1st tee and 2 groups on 2nd tee.

Fun layout, super nice staff but the course needs a lot of work. Fairways are torn up with no grass in spots greens are the worst I’ve played on in years. Mold, holes, dirt and bare spots. Most are unputtable with craters everywhere.

Absolutely enjoy this golf course it's always been in good condition and the staff is super friendly and helpful.

First: disregard the website promising Atlantic views (you can't see the ocean from Ocala), and a great restaurant and bar (there isn't one). Weeds appear on each fairway, and there isn't much grass! Finally, take care of directions to Summer Glen GC: Google Maps take you through a gated community, which you can't access! All-in-all, not a pleasant day out... a beer and a hot dog after the game would have increased the stars but no one appeared very apologetic. Shame.
