I guess my sarcasm wasn't clear enough.

For a fun day on a short course that’s not expensive for very well maintained Base Line in Ocala

Baseline is a fun little course. The only drawback is that they don’t take T-times, you pay and then you get in line to tee off. That wait can be quite long. You can’t see how long the wait is until after you pay because the #1 tee box is around the bend and out of view from the club house. They have a sign by the cash register stating No Refunds. I suspect folks have paid for a round and once they see how long the wait is, have gone back to request a refund.

Without a doubt Baseline is the most beautiful in our area. It’s a relatively short 18 hole golf course, very nice landscaping throughout.

Yes, the two time I played I waited an hour to tee off. Both time were 11a or so. It is a very nice short course.

There's nothing wrong with golf inside TV if you are selective on any given month. For example, it's a known fact every winter...literally every winter...Havana takes a dump, so just avoid it in the mid to late winter months. Right now Southern Oaks is pristine as is Tierra del Sol, but that may change a bit in a month...users need to keep on top of conditions and play the best courses. Keep in mind it's still winter and grass does not grow well in winter...all courses will have some troubles during the winter months...fact of life.

Been here since 2007, have HAD to play outside The Villages. In all I have not found anywhere better than The Villages Championship Courses. Unless it’s the cost, but save your gas money!
