Editor's Note: Course closed and redesigned as Cabot Citrus Farms.

Rolling Oaks is one of two championship courses at World Woods Golf Club. The layout offers something completely different from the renowned Pine Barrens course at the club, but it still offers the same amount of challenge and quality. The golf course is named after its landscape of rolling hills and forests of centuries old Oak trees draped with Spanish moss. Lush, rolling fairways lead to undulating greens that are protected by sharply defined, white sand bunkers. Water hazards come into play on three holes. The golf course has a traditional design but the dramatic elevation changes and picturesque landscape covered in azaleas, dogwoods, and magnolia trees really make it stand out. In addition to the two golf courses, World Woods also offers a nine-hole practice course and a circular, 20-acre driving range with target greens and practice bunkers.

Always awesome!

These courses at Woods World are the best twosome in Florida. You could spend alot more and not play a better layout or have better conditions. And no housing any where.

Great layout!!

Played with son on a cool Florida day. Second time for me and first for my son. This layout is very good. Tees and greens were good. Fairways were not as nice as they could be since the overseed did not take effect yet. But that did not take away a great day of golf at one of Florida's top 3 public golf complexs. Would definitely be back. Great value with email specials. Bill and Dave and all of the starter and ranger staff should be commended for their hard work and giving us a great time. Have referred many golfers to World Woods in the past and will continue to refer them in the future when they come to the Tampa Bay area. Thanks again.

Challenging, Fun, Beautiful Course

I have played rolling Oaks several times before and each time I have a great time and love the course. The course has lots of beautiful looking golf holes with stunning natural beauty in excellent condition.

Course conditions were excellent. Fairways, bunkers, tee boxes, and greens were in EXCELLENT condition. The greens roll true. The greens have lots of humps, undulations and slopes which make them a challenge and very fun.

For the price, both of these courses are absolute must plays. Pine Barrens will challenge your entire game, and Rolling Oaks will give you unparalleled beauty and scenery.

The only drawback is the small, limited clubhouse, but the friendly staff make up for any drawbacks.

All in all, an A+ must play course on a great tract of completely natural land.

Great track

Perfect conditions as always. Played in 3 hours on a nearly empty course. Greens were perfect and a good speed. Struggled off the tee but great short game got my score down to 78. Great value using reward to get cost to 30.00.

A very strong sibling

Though Pine Barrens tends to rank slightly higher in the magazines, I actually found I liked Rolling Oaks slightly better among World Woods' offerings. The look of the course is a bit more mainstream, but the terrain is a bit more exciting and the greens have more interesting contours at Rolling Oaks. Those things appealed to me, as did the namesake live oak trees dotting the landscape. Do not overlook this course when planning golf at World Woods; you'll enjoy comparing the two high-quality experiences with your fellow golfers.

World Woods is a absolute must play location...

The two courses at World Woods (not to mention the par-3 course, and 3-hole warm-up course) are a must play when you are in the Tampa area. Rolling Oaks is the lesser rated course but it is still a great design and a challenge to play. When you travel here, schedule 3-4 days...play golf, practice at their world-class practice facility, and enjoy your visit. There is not much in the way of hotels or restaurants in the immediate area but the seclusion lends itself to a focused golf trip with your group.

Great test of shot making (RO).

Generous fairways but bunkers are strategically designed to test your skill set. You must manage each shot, however you are not severely punished on miss shots. Pine Barrens is a much tougher test. Plenty of enjoyment can be found at Rolling Oaks.
