Nice but!
It is an amazing track. Had some bare spots. Would play again as they were over seeding.
Great possibilities
The course has great possibilities. The staff is friendly and engaging. The course has challenges. Everyone tees from womens tees. The fairways showed a lot of sand spots. The greens were as long as the fairways and had a lot of crabgrass. Couldn't play the last three holes due to sprinklers running. For all the possibilities the facility has. It makes the short coming of the even more disappointing. I may have caught the course in a transitional state. Would love to play it again good shape.
Mr. Herberman,
Crabgrass is GONE. Join us gain soon and you'll be amazed.
Ask for our "Play Us Again" special and see for yourself.
We want you back!

Poor
Tee boxes were all moved for overseeing but all were in poor condition as were the fairways and greens. Sand traps were in the best condition of all on the course.

We love our sand bunkers!
So sorry you caught us in transition. We had a tough summer.
New Superintendent has us back on track.
Ask for our "Play Us Again" Special and give another try.
Hope to see you soon.

Major Disappointment!!
I have been playing the old " Southern Woods course " 15 years ago and up until the last several years the course has been going downhill- however yesterday my friends and family called it a desert course and I had to agree- I will not be back until your staff returns it to its formal glory !- I'm so sad to say this but it's just the plain truth 🥲
SMW Resident,
Don't give up on us. We had a tough summer. New Superintendent has us back on track and you'll be amazed at the improvement.

Course is in rough shape
Hey, it’s hard to complain when I played here today for only 20$ through golf now. Fairways are bare with no grass, tee boxes are the same as fairways. There are crabgrass patches on every green. This course needs good maintenance desperately. For a newb like me, it’s fine but golf snobs beware , you won’t like this place at all. If I had paid any more than 20$, it would I have been worth it in my opinion. I will go back if the 20$ deal continues on golf now, that’s the only way.
BJ OK
Greens & fairways were horrible, no distance markers, lady in pro shop was hateful!!! Nothing good to say about this course!!!!
BJ,
So sorry that you had a bad experience at Citrus national.
Please try us again and ask for the "Play Us Again" Special.
You will be amazed at the improvement of course conditions. Lady in Pro Shop is a sweetheart. Can't imagine how she offended you but we will "coach her up" and make you feel super welcome next time. New Superintendent is off to fast start. The course improvements in last month are amazing. We call him Rain Man as he loves to water the course.
Try us again, please and soon.

Good features
First impression. Impressed, give you free range, chipping and putting balls. Only public course I know that offers this. Course has good layout. Courseit self needs some work. Tee boxes, fairways and greens needs some grass. Will play again.
We are happy to report Citrus is Goat Ranch no more.
Crabgrass is GONE and fairways have greened up. Our new Superintendent is named Greene and we call him Rain Man as he loves to water.
Ask for our "Play Us Again" Special and give us another shot to win you over.

lay out is good
the course is in poor shape...
greens have not been taken care off..
The whole course needs to be redone before they lose everything
Joe,
You are right! The course was awful and since we found our new Superintendent, the improvements have been amazing.
Let's get you out again soon and you'll get the "Play Us Again" Special.
You won't recognize the place.

You will be amazed.

The golf course is in horrible condition. Tees are dirt. Fairways are dirt. Greens are filled with weeds.
The course used to be known for their greens. Not anymore!!
Citrus National is back!!
We had a terrible summer and new Superintendent has us in the right direction. His Nickname is Rain Man because he loves to water, fertilize and mow. :)
Try us again and ask for the "Play Us Again" Special. You will be amazed.

Citrus National ...not again
the fairways are bare, i mean no grass until the back nine...it appears that watering the course is out of the question. I've played at this course a few times, but not for a couple of years. totally down-hill.
Not sure who's running the course maintenance...ownership should look in another direction.
We "looked in another direction"
New Superintendent is named Greene and we call him Rain Man as he loves water.
Try us again soon and you will be amazed.
Ask for our "Play Us Again" Special then tell all your friends about your day at Citrus National.

Course needs work
The course needs some work. Little grass in fairways greens have weeds.
A rating of 2 is not our goal.
Please try us again as we have new superintendent and he has this place looking great again.
Ask for our "Play Us Again" Special and let us earn that 4 to 5 rating.
Citrus Management
Your 2 rating is fair for the conditions we had last month.
The turnaround is amazing.
New Superintendent has the greens rolling smooth and the fairways green again.
Mother Nature is also helping with a little rain.
Ask for our "Play Us Again" Special and let us know what you think.

A Good Course In A Sad State
I have played this Hale Irwin design about 10 times over the last 2 years. It’s a very good layout with movement, rolling hills, variety and interesting green complexes. This was the first time back since I went north in March. The property was part of the World Woods deal when they sold to Cabot. Cabot sold this property off to new owners at that time. I’m afraid the new owners are struggling because the course conditions have plummeted in the past 7 months. I can’t recommend the course in this state but if they can turn it around nobody would be more pleased than I. I will try to update in a few months if this happens. If it was in good shape, this could be a nice warmup round for those making the journey to Cabot Citrus Farms when they open.
Your 1 rating was fair. We had a terrible summer.
New Superintendent has us in the right direction. Owners are also from Michigan and keep pushing to make Citrus National one of the best in the area.
Crabgrass on greens is gone. Fairways and tees are green again.
Ask for our "Play Us Again" Special and give us another try.
