Spruce Creek Preserve Golf Club

Overview: Dunnellon's Spruce Creek Preserve offers an 18-hole public layout, designed by Terry Doss. The routing opened to a par 71 and approximately 6,540 yards, with tree-lined fairways, native vegetation and the quieter inland character suggested by its Preserve name.

History: Published course histories date the opening to 1997 and consistently credit Doss with the design. The course has continued as a visitor-friendly facility, with multiple tee sets allowing the same layout to serve both regular local play and golfers visiting the Ocala-area region.

Did You Know? The course's front-nine character is especially associated with tree-lined corridors, while the back nine opens the visual field in places. That change of atmosphere across one 18-hole round is a small but useful part of the course's documented identity.
