Golf outside TV
 
With all the controversy on TOTV about the state of the golf courses in TV, what decent courses are there outside TV, within easy reach, that are worth a try for a change and to give some idea to those that may question our courses, how the courses in TV stack up when compared to individually run courses?

No, personally, I have no real idea how TV courses compare with those outside, I only play once or occasionally twice a week and didn’t play golf until I came here.

Help please guys!

you might try The Plantations of Leesburg, on hwy 27.

2- 18 hole courses , well kept greens and well maintained with a somewhat light rough. You do however need to make a tee time, If I'm not mistaken.

Eagle Ridge in Del Webb Development 36 holes always in good condition.

Baseline, I know it's an executive course, but it is pristine. IMHO, it is the best conditioned course in the area.

Another vote for Baseline, beautiful, well maintained golf course. However, no reservations.

Go outside if you can these Championship courses are a disgrace for what they charge .Fact Everything about the villages is awesome other than The condition of the golf courses ,and the prices they charge.

Deer Island
 
Deer Island in Tavares is a challenging course. Water on 16 or more holes. Well maintained. Think I paid $ 30 with cart last month. And not many players there. A hidden gem.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

Does anyone have anymore?

Stone Creek in Ocala is in excellent shape, fantastic fairway and quick greens. Just played their this week.

Juliet Falls in Ocala is always a pleasure.

A little farther but worth the drive is World Woods, played there 2 weeks ago, in great shape.

Beautiful course. Pretend you are going to Pelican, bring your older balls.
