Getting better

Greens and traps were in very good shape. Greens had recently been aerated, and fresh sand added to traps. Tees and fairways still need some TLC and water. Pace of play was excellent at 3 hrs.

Surprised

This is a great course, one of the best I’ve played. However it was really rough today, greens had jut been punched, and dry conditions had browned most of the fairways.

This course needs rain and the hurricane coming in two days will deliver that. I believe in a few weeks it will be in good shape.

For the love of God shut this down!

Please-it is criminal to stay open and charge a fee for this place. Yes, it has good bones, BUT:

There is NO grass on the tees

NO grass in the fairways

NO grass on the greens

DOES have Punched greens

DOES have up to a half inch of sand on the greens- IMPOSSIBLE

It looked like they put the flagstick in a bunker- but it was a green

Staff did not mention the aeration and sanding at check in

Because it was a ghost town the pace of play was fine

Very very sad

Course has been neglected

It clearly hasn't been watered in quite some time, fairways are dry and tee boxes are just sand and weeds. They did manage to turn on ALL the sprinklers on the back 9 at 1:30 on a Sunday afternoon which soaked me and my guest. Asked for a rain check, was told they didn't know how to generate one in the software so they gave me a few vouchers to play another time at basically half price sometime before the end of the year....

Closer similar courses

The rebranded Southern Woods course is located near US 19 and US 98 in Citrus County. The staff is welcoming and friendly. The course, particularly the tee boxes were in terrible condition, the worst I've seen all summer here in Florida. Bunkers were better than average for comparative courses. Greens were in good shape.

For me, traveling to this course passing other similar courses to the south, with similar green fees, doesn't make sense.

Feel free to try it out, but my guess is you won't conclude much differently than our rating.

Getting greener

Rain has been helping green up the fairways. Greens are improving, some patches. Tees are in tough shape, but no issue to play.

Nice place to get away.

Great layout. Open fairways and east to play

Greens were in good shape a little fast but true.

Fairways needs some work but we've had little rain to help the problem. TBox's needs work, a easy fix when the heat lets up and we get some rain

Affordable price and N/C for range balls.

We enjoy playing here and will be back soon, friendly people at front desk

Not what I was expecting

They told me in the pro shop they lost part of their sprinkler system. The tea boxes in fairways were all but a few very bad. There was no water in the water coolers on the course. 2 foot off the fairways. Some of the grass was 6 inches tall. All the bunkers had a little rocks in them so I do not think it was worth $53. Very disappointing.
