What a shame

What potential this course has. Such great character and a brilliant layout. That being said it was the worse golf course I’ve ever played. Its condition was totally horrible! Sandy tee boxes, fairways had zero grass. The greens….OMG!!! They should’ve given me my money back.

First time here

The golf cart paths were great, the fairways terrible, the greens just as bad.

The course has a lot of potential.

Regular maintenance and a few upgrades might help

Good value, course improving

Most tees and fairways are brown, with little grass - need water and TLC. Back 9 better than front. Traps and greens are decent. Some greens on front are spotty. Great staff and very good layout.

fairways are not good or excist

A crying shame that this great layout is in such bad condition.Tees and fairways are mostly sand.With all of the rain last summer they should be plush green grass.Bunkers were good.Greens had spots of sand on them and little green plants growing on them that made puts bounce offline.A made putt was accidental.I liked the weird squirrels.Great clubhouse.

Great Value, fast play, conditions improving

Pace of play was excellent at 3 hrs for 18. Most of the greens were good, and fast. Fairways and tees need water. Great value for the money.

Citrus National

It is disappointing that citrus national is in such poor condition. There is not much grass throughout the tee boxes and fairways. Greens roll pretty average but have some spots with no grass. Bunker are surprisingly very good with lots of good quality sand. Layout is amazing with many hole that force you to hit a variety of shots. Staff is very friendly and they are very honest about the course conditions. Though they hope that with recent efforts the course can get back to good condition next year. Though the conditions are not great I would definitely record trying out the course because it is good practise and you are also provided with a full grass driving range. ( yes the driving range has grass unlike the course) I hope the course conditions improve because the layout is amazing and it seems the staff is putting lots of effort into restoring the course.
