Baseline Golf Course

Overview: Baseline Golf Course is a public short course in Ocala at 9000 SE 58th Avenue. The current scorecard references an 18-hole par-61 layout of about 3,484 yards, while the operator’s own site promotes an extra hole and describes the facility as 19 holes. The course includes Bermuda turf, tree-lined fairways, ponds, bunkers, and an island green.

History: Public course references date Baseline to 1988 and attribute the design to Arlin Parker and Stan Norton. The official site confirms that the extra hole is part of the current operating identity, but the target directory’s 18-hole label and the operator’s 19-hole description do not match, so the hole-count discrepancy is recorded for review.

Did You Know? Baseline’s signature feature is an island green called “Lucky 13.” The operator also highlights waterfalls between holes 7 and 15, giving this compact Ocala course a few memorable visual landmarks despite its executive-length scorecard.
