Royal Oaks
 

Our group played our favorite course yesterday 11/10/21. Royal Oaks (near Rt.484 & 200) never disappoints. Mint condition, plush fairways, perfect greens. $38 after 11:00.
Only negative was the beer is overpriced.

Off campus golfing
 

I joined Big Summer Golf. They aren’t expensive and they play on Monday’s. Usually very good courses at a reduced rate. Two weeks ago I played Orange County National for $59.00 including range balls and cart.
Last Monday was mystic dunes but I couldn’t make it.
Just another option where someone else handles all the work.

Heard Disney gives TV residents a locals discount? Anyone know if this is true?

I just asked my husband and they do give a discount. He said it isn't huge but you get money off.

He recommends Mission Inn and Juliette Falls. His favorite off site is Golden Ocala but the green fees are around $150

Continental Country Club keeps getting better. Greens fast and conditions improving. $36.95. Great lunch.

Baseline in Ocala
 

Just venturing off campus for the first time. Heard this one wasn't in good shape. Anybody know?

Harbor Hills, 15 minutes east of TV was enjoyable last week, $37 I think. Good Lunch.

Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto last week. $150 but a superb course in outstanding condition.

When I called Golden Ocala for a tee time I was told it’s not open to the public.

Played Baseline on Wednesday
 

and thought is was in fine shape. It is a pretty course that is basically an expanded executive layout with a number of shorter par 4's on each nine. They do not accept advanced tee times but getting on is not a problem. Nice clubhouse with a lot merchandise for sale and excellent hot dogs. They also have a driving range and the course is very walkable.

My husband has played there at least a dozen times. He has not played there since COVID. He is playing in a charity tournament next month.

Question:
Do they require a day pass if one wishes to leave the "Campus" or do they allow one to leave on one's own volition? :1rotfl:

Real challenge
 

If you want a real , but fair, challenge the World Woods courses in Brooksville are very good. I golfed the Pine Barrens course last year. My son in law took me there, he’s a golf pro and that’s one of the courses they play when attending the annual PGA conference in Orlando. The course was is great shape. No fancy clubhouse, just great golf.

No day pass required as long as you take out a gate as you exit the bubble.

Golden OCala
 

if you know a golf pro, they can get you on. probably around $150

Thanks!
