Exciting News for Golf Lovers: Cabot Citrus Farms Opens its Doors!
Calling all golf aficionados! A brand-new gem has just made its debut, and it’s looking to redefine the ultimate golf getaway. Cabot Citrus Farms, a stunning 1,200-acre oasis, has sprung up along Florida’s breathtaking Nature Coast, about an hour’s drive north of bustling Tampa. With its grand opening, Cabot Citrus Farms marks the arrival of the Cabot Collection in the United States, known for creating luxury golfing experiences that are second to none.
A Golfer’s Paradise Awaits
Get ready for a golfing extravaganza because this resort features a whopping 57 holes of golf designed by some of the best architects in the game—including Kyle Franz, Mike Nuzzo, Ran Morrissett, and Rod Whitman. It boasts two fully revitalized 18-hole courses named Karoo and Roost, along with two shorter courses, The Squeeze and The Wedge. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, this place has something for everyone.
Course Highlights
The Karoo course promises a thrilling round of “adventure golf” with its wide Bermuda fairways, vast greens, and multiple pin positions that challenge golfers in ways that keep every game fresh. Meanwhile, the Roost course offers a trip through a landscape that channels the charm of Old Florida, featuring century-old live oaks and tufts of sandy scrublands, all while presenting elevation changes of up to 50 feet!
If you’re itching to squeeze in a quick game, why not try The Squeeze? This dynamic 10-hole layout blends par 3s, par 4s, and even a par 5 for those who like to keep their game short yet sweet. And don’t forget about The Wedge, an 11-hole par-3 course that’s perfect for nighttime play, thanks to its nifty low-profile lighting. Golf doesn’t just happen during the day anymore!
For the Tech-Savvy Golfer
Take your practice sessions to the next level at the driving range, equipped with cutting-edge Trackman technology that’ll help you fine-tune your skills. And to top it off, there’s a stunning two-acre putting course that visitors can enjoy as part of their golfing adventure.
Committed to Sustainability
Cabot Citrus Farms is not just about luxury; it’s also about commitment to the environment. The resort has joined the ranks of elite golf courses by pursuing the Audubon International’s Platinum Signature Sanctuary certification. This dedication to sustainability ensures that as you tee off, you’re playing on land that’s harmoniously integrated with nature.
Luxury Accommodations and Amenities
For those looking to extend their stay, Cabot Citrus Farms offers 36 luxury golf cottages available for sale or nightly rental, with tempting rates starting at $1.8 million for ownership and just $1,250 a night for a fabulous temporary escape.

The grand opening festivities were nothing short of spectacular! Guests enjoyed a thrilling nighttime drone show, lively music, and to make it even more exciting, there was a ceremonial tee shot delivered by a Canadian LPGA star.
Formerly the World Woods Golf Club, this property has undergone an impressive transformation since Cabot took over in 2022. The fully operational clubhouse, comfort stations, and dining facilities are just the start, with more amenities—including a racquet club and various pool areas—set to make their debut very soon!
