Gated 55+ age-restricted golf community in NW Ocala with an 18-hole, par-72 course, clubhouse, and indoor and outdoor pools.
About Ocala Palms
Ocala Palms is a gated, 55+ age-restricted community in NW Ocala, near I-75 and a short drive from the World Equestrian Center. It is built around Ocala Palms Golf & Country Club, an 18-hole, par-72 semi-private course designed by Steve Nugent that opened in 1996 and is known for wide, open fairways.
The community includes roughly a thousand homes, with single-family residences and lower-maintenance villa-style options. The clubhouse is the social center, with a fitness room, library, and card and activity rooms, and the amenity set includes indoor and outdoor pools and tennis. The scale is more manageable than the area's largest 55+ developments, which many owners see as the appeal.
From NW Ocala, I-75, US-27, and the shopping along the SR 200 and US-27 corridors are close at hand, and downtown Ocala is a straightforward drive. For buyers who want a gated 55+ community with golf at the door and a quieter pace, Ocala Palms is a practical option at an accessible price point.
