We did not know what to expect booking our Summer Glen morning tee time, booked on GolfNow. We arrived accidentally to the back entrance of the Summer Glen property and had to go back around to get back to the main entrance. The staff was accommodating to us as this set our arrival time past our tee time. The staff was extremely friendly and the starter made sure we were all set to go. The course was in excellent shape. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were beautifully kept. The layout of the course was pleasant with some unexpected hills that made it challenging. Signage made it easy to navigate through the course. Certainly we will be back! read more

NOT YOUNG PEOPLE FRIENDLY!!! the older man working in the golf pro shop refused to sell a Gatorade to a young man while I was signing some forms (he had exact change and was very polite) then he proceeded to tell me it was $45 for a rental set and everyone I was with needed a rental set. 9 holes was $20!! That is just so bizarre. So then we get into refunds and he tell me to just call "them" and just so rude and repeating it. Scammed out of $80 worth of golf with some friends home from college. Evil people shouldn't have jobs where they talk to people all day and have the power to SCAM people out of money. read more

This was the 2nd time in a month that myself and my friends drove the hour and forty five minutes from New Port Richey Fl to SummerGlen this by far for the price you won't find a better course from tee boxes to greens that includes the fairways this course is by far our favorite it's well worth the drive to play SummerGlen. A shout out to the superintendent and crew for awesome job taking care of this course 2 thumbs up read more

Played nine holes on a Sunday. Was able to book online and was very reasonably priced. We were greeted immediately and staff were very friendly. The course was fair and a good variety of difficulties. A member mentioned that the course is in the middle of transition and it showed. Restaurant renovations underway. Overall had a lovely time, will be back soon. read more

Played for the Highlander tour there. I've seen some bad reviews about the greens not being kept well. And they are sort of correct. The greens are not in the best shape. But other wise the course was nice. It wasn't to bad. It's a nice area and a nice course other wise. read more

They have not been taking care of the grounds and residents try to run the place and the staff members are just rude. There were 3 holes that didn't have an actual green because they were ruined. So what they did was make a green 50 yards in front of the green on the fairway. Instead of letting the golf course go take care of it. I'm pretty sure I was profiled for being a young Hispanic but who knows anymore happens too often to tell. Anyone can play golf no matter your race, age, gender or whatever you believe in. Definitely will not be going back and I will be telling everyone that I golf with to not visit this place until major changes have taken place. You don't need to employ your residents it's obviously not helping the business. read more

The course was nice and not very challenging. The teeboxes and the fairways were in great shape and you could easily hit from them. The greens were okay, they were spotty and had brown spots but rolled okay. The staff were friendly and had a nice club house. Overall I would return for the price that I paid for the course that was only 23 dollars a person. read more

If I could give a ZERO REVIEW I WOULD! First time here at this golf course and OUR LAST TIME. Staff was rude. There will be NO second chance. OUR first impression made Our decision. Ranger Gave us a hard time about my brothers service dog and question him about papers for the dog. Then saying my grandchild can't go, I said really he went to check the policy came back said she can go.. A guy came from his house because 1 ball rolled a little in his yard and yelled at my Adult daughter that she was Not able to get her ball off his little yard. So I told him looks like you need the ball more than we do. If you have nothing better to do in your life but harass people and yell at them. That is just so pathetic . The way we have been being treated don't look like we're coming back here ever again he said good ! don't want golfers here anyway. If you Don't want golfer's around your house, then you Should NOT of bought a house near a golf course. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. the way everything has been going in the world with a lot of businesses shut down and you're going to treat the very few customers you have like this it's extremely sad and I will make sure of it is well known to everybody I know And everybody I talk to on how we were treated today and I'm a Strong woman of my word. Just for the record it's Not that we couldn't get the ball that rolled into his yard .it's that my daughter was yelled at and we have been harassed since the second we were in the parking lot. Didn't even get get on the course yet. I would of insisted a refund and leave but I thought i just might of caught them at the wrong time the whole time of 18 holes was just NOT what I expected. If anybody wants to golf and enjoy them self, this is NOT the place to go. Your actions and your words cannot be redone This was VERY Unprofessional. The whole golf course was awful to look at and golf on as well it has Not been maintain enough either. The golf course layout is terrible, The green don't look good either. Golfing is suppose to be calm relaxing and enjoyable. MY GOLFING EXPERIENCE ON EASTER SUNDAY WITH MY FAMILY HAS BEEN RUINED. Due to how we were all treated. This was NOT Calm Relaxing Enjoyable at all. The ranger had to go talked to my Adult son multiple times and told him to tell us to hurry up people are behind us that we are taking to long. First of all if you have something to say you come say it to me. second of all there wasn't anyone behind us because I looked. Also they have green stands with water cups on the side of them but NO WATER. Don't put water cups out on stands if you don't want to put water. We will spend Our money somewhere else that appreciates and treats their customers coThere are MANY OTHER GOLF COURSES I CAN AND WILL GO TO THAT APPRECIATE THERE CUSTOMERS. read more

They should not be able to charge for playing this course. Greens are awful as are the fairway.

Holy Crap.....I live here and the greens are horrible.....I refuse to bring friends or family to play.....I'm way to embarrassed.....We are Managed by Hampton Golf out of Jacksonville. When Hampton took over we were there only Property in The Ocala area.....now we are one of three properties.....sometimes wondering if we get the short end of the stick so to speak.....They did a remodel of the restaurant which looks nice ....yet totally removed the pro shop? So now you stand in the heat or cold or rain and check in like a walk up hot dog stand....or twisty treat ice cream stand.......not sure how that works.....The greens are a homicide or suicide choice..... they are most likely the worst in Central Florida.......This company and its entry and midlevel management staff leaves many scratching there heads.......more importantly they have my and many others prepaid dues and will as were a trapped audience just makes you want to cry to invest so much of our time into a game with such crappy greens..........Until they can get these greens fixed there are plenty of other choices.....in Marion County!!!!!! read more

I played the SummerGlen Golf Club outside of Ocala, Florida, on 12/2/15 while driving from Clearwater to Myrtle Beach. The par 72 course is located in a gated retirement community about 2.5 miles directly off I-75 at Exit 341 for Dunellon. The course was easy to find. You can't see the course from the Interstate because there is a high berm all around the community. On some holes this berm works to the player's advantage because it kicked shots back toward the fairway. I had driven past the community on numerous occasions and knew a course was there but never had time to stop and play. I played the Blue tees which is one of six sets of tees available. The Blue tees play to 6,261 yards with a rating of 69.5 and slope of 125. The various tees play from 6,673 yards for the Gold tees to the Purple tees of 4,081 yards with a rating of 63.7 and slope of 100. The design is the centerpiece of a retirement community, and as such, is very playable for players of all abilities if they play the right set of tee boxes. The tees and greens were all elevated and it looked as if there were ponds or marsh areas that had dried up on almost every hole. When I asked if these areas had all been water at one point, I was told no. I don't know if walking was an option, but the course looked very walkable. I had my Sky Caddie which of course helped when playing an unfamiliar course. You do need to call ahead for a tee time as the guard at the gate had my name on a tee sheet and checked before issuing a pass to enter. Most of the holes were different from each other and presented some unique challenges because some of the greens were very small and/or well-guarded. I took pictures of a few holes. Because the many of the holes had wide landing areas, I felt comfortable trying to cut loose with big swings off some of the tees. The 11th hole, in particular, is a teaser because it was 297 yards from the blue tee (confirmed by the Sky Caddie), goes over water to the left, and features a green blocked by tall trees left and right. I couldn't resist the challenge and took the ball on a straight line over the tall trees, and was able to clear everything and leave an approach from about 20 yards to the pin. Some of the other holes had wide enough landing areas to invite 'letting the big dog eat'. The course has par five finishing holes on the 9th and 18th holes with a dogleg left on #9 skirting the driving range, and a slight dogleg right on #18 with a forced carry on the second shot if you hit the first shot far enough. Service I called the course a day ahead and was encouraged to come up and play. Everybody was very friendly and encouraged coming back. The starter/cart attendant at the end of both nines asked me how I liked the course, and other players I ran into were all very friendly. There was drinking water on four holes. I did notice two bathroom facilities on the 5th and 15th holes. There are a lot of houses around the course, and personal golf carts were everywhere. Overall Condition The course was in good condition throughout all eighteen holes. All of the fairways and roughs were in good shape, and the conditioning is geared toward the retired residents. The greens were a little slower than I am used to, and were small and firm and held shots well. All greens seemed to putt true. Sand traps were not numerous, but were in acceptable condition. Clubhouse/Amenities This course has a restaurant in the clubhouse and it seemed well used and busy. There were plenty of personal golf carts parked outside of it without golf clubs on them when I made the turn. There was also a generous driving range and practice green, but I didn't get to utilize any of those facilities due to time constraints. Value I played the course at 10:44 AM at a rate of $36 plus tax. I did ask if they had a senior rate and the girl laughed because she said almost everybody there was a senior. In summation, I was glad that I finally got a chance to see what was behind the gate and the berm. I was very pleased with everything about the selection of this course. read more
