Fourteen holes in Central Florida horse country. Royal Oaks runs a semi-private operation that feels more throwback than modern, the kind of place where the pro shop still answers the phone on the first ring. The layout plays to a full par 72 despite the unconventional hole count. Walking policy here needs confirming before you book. Call ahead and ask directly. Ocala heat makes early morning the only sensible tee time from May through September. If they let you walk, bring water and expect flat terrain that won't punish your legs. The course sits close enough to I-75 to make it a reasonable stop for anyone passing through, assuming your clubs are already in the trunk.
