Golden Hills Golf and Turf Club in Ocala, Florida
OCALA - Golden Hills Golf and Turf Club is a difficult golf course from the back tees but not overwhelming from the blue or middle tees. It has some long par 4s, and because of the many bunkers around the elevated greens, demands accurate approach shots of the aerial variety - very few bump and runs here.
Still, there are no forced carries and only a few blind landing areas off the tee, and water isn't a huge obstacle. If you hit the shots, you can score here and feel like you've earned it.
But perhaps its best selling point is the elevation. The course sits on top of some of the highest land in this part of Florida; the tee box at No. 4, for example, is the highest point in Marion County, and you can see the horse farms for miles around. That hole is a long, serpentine par 5 with a downhill tee shot.
