Citrus National Golf Club

This is a public course with a members only feel to it. The staff has always been top notch and the free access to range balls and practice amenities have me showing up an hour early before every round. The course itself it challenging and well maintained. This review is July ‘23, and while most courses either in disrepair or just slacked off on because snowbirds are gone, Citrus National has quick greens, grassed fairways, and cold water coolers.

On a side note, I lost a putter there last week (don’t ask me how I still have no idea) and the next day they called and told me they had found it. I know that doesn’t sound like a big deal, but I lost a club at Silverthorn once and the starter laughed and told me to check EBay for it. Citrus is in a class of their own and I hope you enjoy this course as much as I do.

Greens are in decent shape. Tees and fairways are dry and brown. Course layout is challenging and fun. Getting rain will elevate this course to the top 5 in Citrus county.

I love this course, and I know with the rain we've been getting the grass is growing fast. With that said they need to mow the rough more often. We had a hard time finding balls 3 feet offthe fairway. Until I can keep my balls in the fairway please keep the rough a bit lower.

The course overall is pretty nice. The greens are maintained nicely. The only issues we found were that some of the fairways had some tall grass and sand right in the middle.

All it would take is a little mowing early in the morning to fix this but in the day we played the fairways could have been much better. We paid 30$ and thought it was definitely worth it. Their normal rate is 40-50$ which is way too high in my opinion. I would not pay that. There were some pretty long par 4’s as well. It is challenging.

The staff were wonderful, very friendly. However, the course is in very bad shape. It was like the greens in the fairways in the rough had not been mowed in over two weeks. Honestly, this was like a $10 golf course. If you have a chance to play elsewhere I would.

Me and my father played the golf course on Father’s Day. We looked and seen that it was rated 4.0 on GolfNow. We are scratching our heads as to how it could possibly be a 4.0. Two boxes were very bear the fairways for plush with large amounts of weeds. And it’s like it has not been mowed in over two weeks. The greens which had been punched, or the best part of the golf course besides the people. The golf course overall was very poor in my opinion, but the people in the clubhouse were fantastic. Definitely not worth the money. In my comparison it is a sister course to Oak Hill in Spring Hill at most a $15 course.

Have played the course several times over the past year, and had hoped to see improvements. They are trying to bring some tee boxes back with new sod, but teeing off on sand a lot.

Greens were aerified two weeks ago, but top dresser machine broke so sand wasn’t applied for two weeks, and it shows.

Will probably take a pause and give them more time.

House was just plugged, so greens were a bit bumpy. Still a great time!

Besides a couple of greens being a little rough, it was a good day on the course. Fairways are getting a little weed covered as well as the greens but it did not hinder our play, usually play here once a week and will continue to do so.

Greens and T boxes need a little attention, but still a great course!

So this course is under new ownership and they have a lot of work to do. Front 9 is horrible including tee boxes and fairways. The greens all around are not bad. The layout is great. You can see many spots where they are trying to patch with grass. If they really work on it withing a year they should have an amazing course. Staff was great carts are extremely comfortable. Maybe I will see yall in a year.

Course was in great shape. Layout very nice. Will play again when I'm in the area. Very good day of golf.

Great value for money, very friendly staff. Free range balls to practice before your round.
