Citrus National Golf Club

Citrus National suffered during a spring drought and hasn’t recovered. The fairways and tee boxes were spotty with weeds in various places. The rough was super high in un-mowed grass and weeds. Maybe that gets a pass due to recent rains. The greens were terrible with large portions just wrecked. It is really a shame because the layout has great promise and it’s really close to me. But I’ve played my last round there unless there are dramatic improvements.

At the time of play the fairways were weedy and needed a good mowing, also, the greens lacked any “green”. Putting surface is sandy, crusty, and in a state of repair.

Really hard to see a beautiful course on such need of repair. I’ve tolerated the lack of grass in the fairways for the nice greens, but alas, they are becoming unputtable.

Will wait a while to see if they can turn it around before I try again.

Like the title says, this course is empty because it’s in really bad shape and the greens are an adventure to put it kindly🤣. For the price and if you want to hit all the drivers and irons you want it’s a decent deal. Just imagine spending $20 at the range but you are actually playing 18 holes.

Horrendous condition. Felt like I was playing in a cow pasture. Just dirt and sand in every fairway. No stretch of hittable fairway grass at all. Aweful experience!

The course was horrible the tee boxes were sandboxes including the whole course had weeds everywhere including the greens. had allergy everywhere and it had been aerated .which wouldn't have been a problem if the course was in decent shape ,the course is only good for long drive competitions and if you want to walk your horses and cows out there so they can eat. It's a waste of time for those who really play golf to play this course,. The conditions of this course will make it that you won't play this course until next February.

Tee boxes were uneven dirt, greens were in very bad condition and on some holes good luck finding a green fairway.

Everything about the course was terrible. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in terrible shape

Drove an hour to play here and figured for $60 this time of year I was in for a treat. This is by far the worse course I’ve ever played in my life. There was no grass from tee box to “greens”. When I pulled up and there were only 8 cars at 10 am I should have known something was up.

I’d pay $15 to play here, nothing more. What a waste of a cool designed course.

I just don't see how a course can get worse so quickly, but Citrus National did! I keep hoping this course will return to its former glory, I really do! But when course conditions keep getting worse, it is getting harder to see hope for the course. The course does not seem to have enough greenskeepers to properly take care of the tee boxes, fairways, or the greens. Recently they spread some kind of brown mulch on the tee boxes and fairways. I'm not sure what the purpose is, but hopefully this will help. I just hope the owner has the capital and desire to return this course back to its glory.

Not sure what has happened, or why the status has gone so far downhill, but the entire course was in poor shape from Tee Box to Fairway, to Green. It’s unfortunate since the layout is solid, but the overall course conditions were rather poor. Invited a friend to join, who played the course for the first time, and was rather disappointed in the overall course experience. With some major TLC: irrigation, rain and proper maintenance, we can all hope the course rebounds, back to at least minimum acceptable conditions, in a few months!

They discounted the round to $40 but it is in bad shape. I’ve played here before and it is a great course. Just needs a little TLC.

Worse condition than last time I played here 8 weeks ago. Just terrible

Played at Citrus National (old Southern Woods) and had a fun time. Greens need some work but honestly will still continue to play. Layout is fun and interesting. Staff here is great and very accommodating one of the big reasons I will be back.

Fairways and tees are brown and dry. Greens are ok, some had patchy spots. Pace of play was good, carts are excellent, and the staff is awesome.
