Along a busy stretch of Silver Springs Boulevard in the heart of Ocala, Florida, lies a golf course whose rich history is only matched by its unique charm. The Ocala Golf Club has been a part of the city’s fabric for nearly eighty-five years.
However, golf’s origins in Ocala reach back even further to a time when the game was brought to America by a band of Scottish professionals and spread throughout Florida thanks to the deep pockets of the railroads.
Muni: The History of the Ocala Golf Club explores this early history, as well as the people, rounds, and stories that helped shape the fairways and greens of this beloved course.
