Designed by Ron Garl in 1987, Pine Oaks of Ocala Golf Course is a city-owned course that measures 6,533-yards from the longest tee. It offers affordable prices and available tee times with a family feel and friendly staff welcoming players.
The course layout and conditions are kept to a high standard, and it runs through beautiful towering pines and majestic oaks, along with abundant lakes and ponds. It is usually easy to get a tee time at the course, and golfers can play at a relaxed pace.
Pine Oaks of Ocala Golf Course has a definite “old Florida” feel with most holes being pretty straight, so shaped shots don’t come into play a lot. Water, however, comes into play on most holes and golfers can expect to complete their round in about 3.5-hours. Golfers enjoy the undulation of the fairways, the challenge of going uphill on one of the par 5s, and some memorable holes on the front nine.
Amenities include a Pro shop area with locker rooms for players to change. The club also has a driving range, putting green, pitching and chipping area, golf school academy, clubhouse bar, restaurant, meeting facilities, and banquet facilities.
Unfortunately, Pine Oaks of Ocala Golf Course is currently closed.
