There are none. TV has the best courses in the area.
Ocala has 1 or 2, I almost joined Country Club of Ocala, but 45 mins is too far to drive every day.
Some folks like Juliette Falls, about 45-50 minutes away. It really wasn't designed by a golf course architect, more like a landscape architect. Usually good condition.
The only courses worth driving to, are in Lecanto. Black Diamond has 2 great golf courses, but you can't get there in an hour and it's private.
Golden Ocala is private and supposedly a good golf course, but I haven't played it.
People on here will tell you all about Continental & Harbor Hills ... dumps in my opinion. Harbor Hills isn't a bad layout, but on a scale of 1-10, the conditions are typically about "6". Deer Island is a goofy golf course and conditions are sketchy.
Golf in this area of Florida, is a lot like eating at Golden Coral. Plenty of food, eat all you want ... but you're not going to find any quality.
