About this course

Baseline Golf Course in Ocala, Florida was designed by Arlin Parker and Stan Norton, architects who brought their experience with Florida's distinctive terrain to this layout. The course is situated in the heart of Florida's horse country, where the gently rolling topography and sandy soil typical of the region shape play. The design takes advantage of the natural elevation changes available in the area, creating a routing that moves through native Florida landscape with pine and oak stands framing the holes. The course presents a strategic mix of hole lengths and configurations, requiring golfers to work through their full bag across eighteen holes. Water features are incorporated throughout the design, consistent with the hydrology of central Florida, and bunkering is used to define landing areas and protect greens. The conditioning and maintenance reflect the demands of Florida's climate, with careful attention to turf selection suited to the region's heat and humidity. Baseline serves the local Ocala golfing community and visitors to the area, offering a solid test of golf that rewards accurate shot-making and course management. The setting provides the peaceful, tree-lined character typical of Florida's interior courses, away from the coastal resort atmosphere. The layout appeals to players seeking a genuine regional course experience rather than a high-profile championship venue.

Getting there

# Getting There

Baseline Golf Course is most readily accessed via Orlando International Airport (MCO), approximately ninety minutes to the north, or through the smaller Ocala International Airport (OCF), which sits just twenty minutes away and offers a more intimate arrival for those traveling by private aircraft. From either gateway, the drive south into Marion County unfolds through Florida's horse country - a landscape of white-fenced paddocks, oak-lined thoroughfare, and the gentle rolling terrain that distinguishes this region from the state's flatter coastal plains. The final miles transition from state highways into the quieter roads surrounding Ocala, where the club emerges amid the verdant grounds that have made this corner of central Florida a sanctuary for serious golfers seeking respite from the crowded resort circuits to the east and south.
