Royal Oaks Golf Club - Ocala

The course has been well-maintained this year, resulting in lush green conditions. While the fairways are generally playable, there are some areas that can lead to challenging lies. My main concern is the bunkers. Many of them have steep faces, and the excess sand often causes the ball to nestle into the slope. This makes it difficult to plant a foot on the steep edges and typically does not allow for an effective shot from within the bunker. I am making contact with the ball, but it tends to stop 6 to 18 inches away from the lip of the bunker. This leads to a slower pace of play, and many players struggle to escape this situation or are forced to drop the ball back into the bunker. Overall, it's a beautiful course, and while some improvements have been made to the cart paths, more work is still needed.

We live on the course, love to watch as they stage the player and work very hard to keep it in shape. I see her mowing and blowing out the area at 5:00. Great work with irrigation

Was my first time playing this course and I love him. The course is great and the staff was very nice.

This golf course has a classic vibe with tree-lined fairways that are in good playable condition. The greens are well-maintained, fast, and in excellent shape. There aren't any water hazards to consider, which is a plus. The only downside was that some of the chipping areas around the greens were lacking grass. Overall, I would definitely return to play here again.

The layout of the course is excellent, with well-maintained fairways and greens. However, you often need to have two players in order to book a tee time, which can be frustrating if you can't find someone to join you. I’m not a fan of this policy.
