Conceptualized by celebrated golf course designer Tripp Davis and PGA Tour star Tom Lehman, the Golf Club at Ocala Preserve is where golf changes forever. Not only does the course include all the challenges of a traditionally-styled golf course, but its revolutionary routing provides maximum flexibility in terms of playability, challenge, and time commitment. Not least of all, the course’s footprint – on 50 acres as opposed to the 100+ required by conventional, full-size courses – reduces its environmental impact. The result is a course that can be played in multiple ways, each offering a new experience.

18-HOLE, PAR-54 SHORT COURSE
This course is designed to challenge the creativity of players of all levels, with holes varying in length from 63 to more than 200 yards. Whether you choose to walk the course or take our golf carts out for a spin, you’ll likely complete the course in under 3 hours, allowing you plenty of time to relax with a cold beer on our lake-view patio.
WELCOMING PUBLIC PLAY
TUESDAY – THURSDAY: $25 WALKING ONLY (+$10 TO RIDE)
18-HOLE, PAR-72 PLAYERS COURSE
Loop twice more – selecting from a number of tee box configurations – to complete the Players Course, and you have yourself a par 72 round of golf that’s USGA handicap approved. It’s a real test of golf, with a relaxed vibe, on a footprint which allows you to complete 18 holes in around 3 and a half hours. If you need a quick pit stop after a loop or two, come on in to Salted Brick for a bite to eat and a cool refreshment. And, when you’re ready to get going again, simply slide back into the natural flow of play.
WELCOMING PUBLIC PLAY
FRIDAY – SUNDAY: $25 WALKING ONLY (+$10 TO RIDE)
6-HOLE, PAR-18 SHORT COURSE
When the Players Course is in use, Members have the opportunity to still enjoy a 6-hole, par-3 only experience we call the Gallery Loop. Able to easily be played in under an hour, the Gallery Loop will test your skills while still getting you done in time for Happier Hour.
MEMBER PLAY ONLY | AVAILABLE DAILY
“The small footprint of 50 acres created a unique challenge for us. The whole idea with Ocala Preserve was how can we create something where you can help people really develop their game without sacrificing traditional golf. Here players can challenge themselves, have fun, make up their own games and by the way, they can earn a USGA handicap playing the six hole loop. I think that’s important”
– Tom Lehman

Absolutely. The courses were designed by accomplished architect and player Tripp Davis along with PGA Tour legend and designer Tom Lehman. Don’t let the 50-acre size fool you – there is real shot value and real design integrity on display throughout the routing. We’re also extremely accessible for the beginner golfer. If you’re looking to enjoy a relaxed round, or try out a few holes, you’ve found the perfect club!
Yes. We now have 10 golf carts in our fleet, with use based on availability and limited to cart path only. However, our golf course was designed in a park-like setting where use of a golf cart isn’t necessary. Distances from green to tee is minimized, and the gently rolling terrain make carrying, pulling, or using a push cart very enjoyable.
