Ocala Preserve

Gated NW Ocala community built around a flexible-format championship course co-designed by Tom Lehman and Tripp Davis, with a full club amenity set.

NW Ocala off US-27, a short drive from the World Equestrian Center, I-75, and downtown Ocala.

Community Overview

Ocala Preserve is a gated community in NW Ocala off US-27, a short drive from the World Equestrian Center. Its golf course, co-designed by major champion Tom Lehman and architect Tripp Davis, was built with multiple routings: a short six-hole loop that can be played in under an hour, or the full 18-hole, par-72 championship layout. That flexibility suits owners who want golf as part of the day rather than the whole day.

The club setting extends well beyond golf, with a clubhouse and restaurant, an athletic center, a resort-style pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and walking and biking trails that connect neighborhoods to the club. Homes are largely single-level designs with open plans, covered outdoor living, and modest yards, available as new construction from active builders and as resale.

The location is a practical advantage. US-27 and I-75 are close, the World Equestrian Center is minutes away, and downtown Ocala is a straightforward drive. For buyers who want a newer home, a modern club, and a gate, at a price point below the area's estate communities, Ocala Preserve deserves a visit.
