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.

Finally, a course in Florida with elevation changes that is in great shape and worth the trip. Just go, and you'll see. Can't wait to try the Pines course!

Excellent Choice

We had heard only great things about this course and it more than lived up to it's reputation. Course is great to look at and play! Great greens. Only downfall was it had rained hard the day before and we had cart path only, but that's probably why it stays in such great shape.

Great Day On A Great Course

World Woods remains one of my favorite places in Florida. Today's round was played between thunderstorms but still, a wonderful day. The greens were a little slower than I would like to have seen them (especially on Master's Sunday) but still putting smoothly and true. Great course!

Always like playing here

Both courses are always in very good shape. I play here quite often and have a great time, every time. The greens on Rolling Oaks are in very good condiition. They roll true. Some are a little tricky with the undulations, but that just adds to the challenge. Play any of the two courses if you get the chance. You will not regret it.

Better than Pine Barrens...

Outstanding experience and great layout. World Woods is all about golf, so money isn''t spent on the whole "dining and locker experience". What you get are two great courses in terrific condition. I played both on back-to-back days and wasn't disappointed in the least. I thought Rolling Oaks was a better course... but then again, I'm from Philly... so playing "Pine Barrens" type courses are hardly unusual.

pretty and pricey

Naturally beautiful and people seemed nice. However 130 dollar price tag should come with a towel in the cart. Rained entire time and another towel besides the one i brought would have been really nice for a guy doesn't wear a glove. The bunkers need better sand and at least one rake in each greenside bunker. The mini rakes in the cart are a pain.

Woods course a great experience!

This layout is a gem in a quiet area 1 hour north of Tampa. You will use all your clubs, tee it forward and enjoy your time there! It's a must play if anywhere near Tampa.

Second Best Course at World Woods

We went on a cold, blustery day by Florida standards. The clubhouse, staff, and bar area was very nice. The course it self had some very nice and challenging holes, but overall I thought it wasn't in the best shape. The greens needed cut and rolled. The next day we played Pine Barren at World Woods, which was in much better shape and really an awesome experience. Overall both are fun courses that I would play again.

Great course. A must play!

Loved the course.
Golf course had tee boxes, fairways and greens in the best shape of any courses we played so far.
Wide fairways but big difficult greens. Easy to 3 putt.
Played day after a big rain, so it was cart path only. This kind of dampened the day. With big fairways too much walking and then had the wrong clubs in my hand! Hard to judge the distance from the cart paths. Did not enjoy this part of my day.
Would be a great experience if carts were allowed.
Check before booking the cart path rules.
Plan to play the sister course.

Must Play

A True Gem just under an hour drive from Tampa off the Toll Road.
This course was rated as the top 100 courses you can play in the US. So I figured that was a long time ago when it was rated. Low and behold that course is in excellent condition. I will go back and play the Pine Barron.
