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.

Excellent

Terrain en superbe condition, se joue plus long que la distance inscrite sur la carte, en raison des verts surélevés. Ces verts sont bien protégés soit par des fosses de sable ou des points d'eau. En résumé le Rolling Oaks sur lequel j'ai eu l'occasion d'évoluer presente un défi de tout instant et il est souvent avantageux de sacrifier la distance des coups au profit de la précision. Le prix de 43US$ qu'on m'a réclamé via un hot deal est loin d'être exagéré compte tenu de la qualité de ce parcours.

Great course!

Had a great time! Was a single and paired with three other gentlemen. The course, Rolling Oaks, was in very good condition and well maintained. Good sand in traps. The only complaint is absents of ball washers. Beautiful course!

staff disappointment

We like the course, but no rangers to speed up the group in front of us or let us play thru. No beverage cart all day, which in Florida can be bad as you need to stay hydrated. Beyond the fact that the course is missing out on making money off the cart.

First Time

This was the first time on this course, but we have played Pine Barrens, World Woods other course. Although the temps were in the 50s, with a strong wind from the north, the course was enjoyed by both of our foursomes. The par 5s, due to the wind, proved challenging, even from the white (front) tees. Many holes had bunkers placed in the front of greens, so don't plan on rolling on with a short shot.
The World Woods courses are rated as some of the top courses in Florida by golf magazines.

Generous lay out.

Very well maintained course, more than generous fairways. Plenty of traps with nice sand but mostly for beauty's sake. Great greens with great speed and true reads.

Nice!

We have played here before. Honestly, at the 'rack rate', I feel the course is way overpriced and to some extent overrated for the local area. If you can get a break (coupon, card, tee time service, etc.), then it should be included in your play list. And don't get me wrong, this is a very nice place to play, just not sure it deserves all the hype.

The course is is great shape. Greens are very undulating and you need to hit the correct level. Staff was extremely friendly.

We teed off late (30 min), as they were 'backed up' for some unknown reason. It was a somewhat slow front nine (2 1/4 hours). As we had an afternoon tee time, the ranger kept hinting we may wish to play the front nine again instead of the back nine. As we had played here before, we decided to do so and were able to get 18 in. I could see the back nine was a traffic jam and am not sure we would have finished had we decided to stay the course. I now wish the ranger could have OK'd us to move over the the front nine of Pine Barrens instead of a re-play of the same nine, that would have been great.

Anyway, it is a very good course and one should play if they can get on at a reasonable price.

Course is in very good shape!

I've played both courses here probably 4-5 times, and I always enjoy myself. While I've never seen either in "bad" shape, far from it, I found Rolling Oaks to be doing very well, even for its standards. Greens were rolling a little slower than I typically see, but we played late in the day so I wasn't totally surprised. I hadn't played in close to a year, and I completely forgot how challenging the greens can be! There were many times some in our group were coming up, over and around the undulations on some of the greens. It was very fun attempting and/or watching ourselves have a go at some of the putts.

1st Time at Rolling Oaks

I have played the Pine Barons course several times but this was my first time at Rolling Oaks. Both courses are in great condition compared to others in the area. Rolling Oaks is slightly easier but both are challenging.

Great deal through Golf Now vs regular course rates makes it a must play if your in the area and can get a deal. There are so many courses in the area for less than half the regular cost it can make it hard to justify if you can't get a deal. Both courses are great I think this one a little more player friendly and more attractive.

Fabulous bargain

5 star course at a 1 star price. Best bargain in the world at only 27.00 on Golfnow.com. Course is in fabulous shape. Played longer than yardage because of several days of heavy rains. Course takes the weather very well, but greens were slow. Just an awesome experience. Almost as tough as the Pine Barrens course which I played 2 years ago. Drive from anywhere to play these courses.

plush

This course is in amazing condition. It is more open than Pine Barrens. There is a lot of strategically placed sand traps. The traps are big but nice white sand to hit out of. If you want a well manicured course, this is it.

Hard to beat a great day on the Rolling Oaks course

Conditions were near flawless as it has been every time I have played either course at World Woods. I favor the Rolling Oaks more because of the scenic views but both are great tracks. The only negatives this are the range balls are showing their age and our pace of play got held up a few times. If you are a golfer traveling through the Tampa area it's worth the trip to Brooksville to play both of these courses!

Invest in range balls

Greens rolled true. Fairway condition was excellent. Overall excellent course condition from tee to green. In fact this track looked better than Pine Barrens. Was disappointed with old beat up range balls.
