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.

Pray for rain

I like the course layout and pace of play was great because there was almost nobody out there. Fairways are sand and hard. Greens below average. Tee boxes were sand which made it hard to keep from slipping on tee off. Serious golfers stay away. Too bad because this course is 5 minutes from my house.

Dont Go save your money!

This is one of the worst courses in Florida. I went against my better judgment and played the course today. The conditions were terrible, from the actual driveway being torn up to the clubhouse being a trailer. The reviews are correct and it is not a good place to play if you want any grass to hit off of. Putting greens are rough as well. The layout is very nice but sadly the shape of everything is like a goat pasture. My thoughts are to warn you and I will never be back it needs to close for good. Even for free it would be a waste of time. The guy working was a jerk face too angry old man.

Course is improving

Greens are good overall, a few were patchy. Tees and fairways brown & dry. Great value for the money for the afternoon rate. Fast round, 3 hrs for 18.

It’s a absolute shame!

This course used to be gorgeous! Now it’s one of the worst courses around! Fairways are dirt and so are the tee boxes! Greens are OK you sometimes have to move your ball so you’re not putting over tundra!

CLOSE IT DOWN!

They should be charged with Theft of Services, because you pay for playing on a golf course and the only thing that lets you know it’s a golf course is the carts! No grass to be found on fairways and tee boxes (all sand fairways), greens are diseased with bare spots, but the cart was nice. Their best bet is to shut it down and over-seed the crap out of it.

Won’t be back till it’s back, don’t waste your money.

Its still GOLF

My rating sytem:

Tees - 1 out of 10

Fairways - 1 out of 10

Greens - 8 out of 10

Bunkers - 9 out of 10

Layout - 7 out of 10

Terrible condition: virtually no grass on tee boxes and fairways. Greens were decent for grass and running very fast. Bunkers were excellent to hit out of with lots of sand. We still had fun playing this Hale Irwin designed course, Pro was very friendly and offered us a deal for next round. We will probably take him up on his offer for our golf group of 12. You will learn how to hit from challenging lies...lol.
