Community Overview
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.

What golf options are available at Ocala Palms?

What is the difference between single-family homes and villas?
Single-family homes offer larger floor plans and private lots. Villa-style homes have a smaller footprint and, depending on the section, may include some exterior maintenance in the fees. Confirm exactly what the fees cover for any specific home.
How does Ocala Palms compare to larger 55+ communities?
