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.

World Woods

Courses are always great...some of my favorites in the state. It wasn't the course's fault, but we caught 3 groups of foursomes on hole 9, so unfortunately we waited 10 minutes on every tee box on the back 9...it was SLOW!!! I hate SLOW players!

Excellent course with good staff

Pace of play was a little slow as we were behind 4 backed up groups. Rangers came and offered one group to play ahead and 2 other groups to play back nine on there other course. Really sped things up and we where able to finish. Very professional. Course in great shape.

Cart path only

I checked the site before playing and it said 90 degree for carts. No rain but it was cart path only. There was probably 3 wet fairways. But all holes CPO. Still a great course.

Wow

Just wow. Best course I have ever seen played. Pretty open fairways for how challenging of a course it is. Second shots are really the toughest part of the course. A lot of bunkers but always true sand making for reasonable out chances. Worth the hour drive from St Pete.

Great Value, Great Local Course

I played both courses at World Woods as Pine Barrens is ranked in the Top 100 public courses in the US. I am very glad I decided to play Rolling Oaks as well. Rolling Oaks surprised me. The conditions on this course were significantly better than Pine Barrens. The greens had lots of undulations, but they did run rather slow for a course of this stature (probably 9 on the stimp). There are several memorable holes on the course and I found I took much more pictures of my round here than I did on Pine Barrens. If you are planning a trip to World Woods make sure you have enough time to play both courses. I don't know which course I liked better. I would give it 4.5 stars out of 5 if I could. Just can't compete with courses like Streamsong that are about the same distance away from Tampa. Great as a local course, very average as a national course. I wouldn't go too far out of my way, but if you are in the area then it is a MUST play.

For the price compared to Streamsong or Copperhead, I bring a group about of every other year to World Woods from Chicago. We love the courses, all one sees is golf, no houses, and can play 36 a day for $140 in middle of a cold Chicago winter. I am all IN!

Awesome Course

This is one of the most beautiful courses you could ever play. The fairways are lush and well kept. Tee boxes are stunning. Greens are impeccable. The greens are very very challenging and hard to read. Only thing I would say is maybe some ball washers and more water stations. Other wise I can't say enough good things about this course.
