Greens in pristine condition
Played yesterday at Silver Springs Shores golf club southeast of Ocala.The clubhouse is old and nothing special, the fairways are ok for this time of year, the cart paths looked like they had been through a carpet bombing, but the greens were absolutely perfect and I mean every square inch of them. The round took 4 hours 45 minutes which was brutal (waiting every shot sometimes 7-10 minutes). $35 green fee but after 12 it dropped to $30. Wow those greens though

Please don't spread the word about SSS. I love the lack of a crowd and the afternoon prices. Unlike The Villages courses, a great Desmond Muirhead design with greens that put any Village greens to shame at this time of year. The Villages should hire their greenskeeper. Maybe then the Villages courses would be worth $64.

They have a great Sunday cash game. I agree please don't go to SSS. Stay in the Villages and pay $47 for garbage.

There isn’t an $84 course in The Villages. I’ve had guests in once and was truly embarrassed by the course conditions and price. It’s a shame when you’re too embarrassed by your courses to invite guests.

It's fun to just hack around, but there are no reservations, no starters or ambassadors, and it's not a 'rated' course. So, take that in stride. Other than that, it's okay, but has beautiful landscaping!

And it's BYOC (Bring Your Own Cart). With all the loaded tee times and the minimal conditions, I'm sure the champ courses here are profiting nicely at this time of year. I guess it is better than shoveling snow for most people.

Check out Oak Run. Ocala, Rt484 & 200. Tee boxes, fairways and greens pristine. $36.00 after 11:00 $39.00 before 11:00, I think. Worth a try. 1/2 what they charge here in The Villages.

2nd Silver Springs Shores...Just a much better place all around than anything in The Villages. The course is great, the greens are great, and the bartenders are all great. Go there on a Tuesday to test your game in the Skins game if you are looking for a test very high quality game.
