THE CLUB AT OCALA PRESERVE

The rolling terrain and mature oaks create an unexpectedly dramatic canvas in Central Florida's horse country, where elevation changes of 60 feet provide natural amphitheater settings for several holes. Tom Fazio's routing weaves through preserved wetlands and century-old live oaks, demanding precise iron play on approaches to greens that slope away from poorly positioned drives. Daily-fee access to this caliber of design work remains a rarity in Florida, making the drive from anywhere in the state worthwhile.
