Country Club of Silver Springs Shores

Overview: At Country Club of Silver Springs Shores, a semi-private 18-hole course in Ocala uses Desmond Muirhead’s 1969 design. The layout is listed at par 72 and 6,857 yards, with two distinct nines, fast greens, and water becoming especially prominent toward the finish.

History: The course opened in 1969 and has served the Silver Springs Shores community for decades. Its documented competitive history includes mini-tour activity and a US Open sectional, while the club has continued to maintain the course as a daily-play facility.

Did You Know? Water comes into play on eight holes according to the course description. That number helps explain why the closing stretch can feel more demanding than the scorecard’s overall length suggests.
