whatt happened ?

I played this course years ago when it was called Southern Woods. Hale Irwin designed it and its a good championship layout....But the place is unplayable if you are like me and play the ball as it lies. Horrible conditions. Horrible dirt lies in the fairway. If you are a fluffer, maybe its OK. The guys I played with fluffed every lie.

Absolute dump

The title really says it all. What a dump? Lady in pro shop at check in rather rude, no starter, no cart girl, and not hardly any grass anywhere on course. Will NEVER return.

Gone way downhill

I played thus about 2 hrs ago and it has gone way downhill. Why no grass? No fairways, no tee box. Greens were OK. I'm giving it a two just to try to bring down these 5 star people who must be members or owners. If they think this is a 4 or 5 then they're not golfers. Extremely disappointed. Should be a $20 round of golf.

Amazing Course - Worth My Time!

I must start by saying Citrus National has really become a favorite place to play. I am happy with all aspects of the golf experience. First, the course is in excellent shape and is getting better every day. Scott is really doing a phenomenal job with this course. Not only has he and his team transformed the course, they also have some really solid staff members. One in particular is Nick in the Pro Shop. Although somewhat younger than the average players, he is a rock star when it comes to connecting with those coming to play. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and makes you feel good about playing the course. He represents Scott very well. Citrus National Team, keep up the amazing work and please feel proud about what you have done to make the course a great place to play! THANK YOU!! George

New owners haven't done a thing yet

It was worth the $20 I paid THAT day thru golf now, but not any other time. Carts are nice, grass in fairways are spotty at best, greens are ok, tee boxes are the same as every other course, the range & Chipping & putting greens are very good. It seems like every course around the Homosassa area & 10-15 miles outside that perimeter within the last year has gone to the dogs. Hernando Oaks is the best bet in my book.

Coming along

Lack of water during the summer has really hurt the fairways. The greens and bonkers are in great shape so you can roll it in the fairway and have a good round.

Not Bad

This quality of this course has been hit or miss over the past few years (mostly miss)…i played 18 recently and was pleasantly surprised. The fairways, tee boxes and greens were in pretty decent shape. They had just over-seeded the fairways…so it was rough/cart path only. Overall, my buddy snd I had a great time playing this course.

Winter golf in Florida

You have to expect rough conditions this time of the year. I would love to play when the conditions are better. The price was great. The pace was horrible. They need to pair up foursomes, to many twosomes. Practice area was great
