Overview: Ocala Palms Golf Club is an 18-hole semi-private course at 5174 Northwest 26th Street in Ocala, open to the public under the club's visitor program. The official course page lists par 72 and 6,500 yards from the back tees. Oaks, ponds, waterfalls, white-sand bunkers and retention areas shape the parkland layout, whose short-to-moderate length still asks for accurate approaches.
History: Ocala Palms opened for play in 1996 as part of the adult residential golf community. Course records credit Steve Nugent and Kirk Jones with the design, while contemporary 1996 trade coverage documents the original nine-hole opening work by Steve Nugent before the full eighteen-hole facility was established. The course remains tied to the surrounding Ocala Palms community and its clubhouse operation.
Did You Know? The finishing stretch includes a par-5 eighteenth with water and out-of-bounds trouble, while the fifteenth green is surrounded by water on three sides. The course also uses a waterfall as part of its closing-hole setting, an unusual visual finish for a Florida community layout.
