Cabot Citrus Farms - The Squeeze Course

As I age and my game withers and my ability to focus for 18 holes wanes, I'm loving the 'alternative' golf movement. The Squeeze is just my speed - nine or 10 holes with lots of half-par holes. That means short par 4s that can be drivable for good players and birdie opportunities for the rest of us, interesting par 3s and one par 5 that's not a chore. It's a perfect experience on arrival or departure days or for that emergency nine when the urge strikes.

Calling The Squeeze a “short course” doesn’t do it justice; it has multiple par 4s and a par 5. But it’s not a “big course,” either, because it’s 9 or 10 holes. It’s its own, refreshing entity thanks to an unconventional design approach.

Given a few dozen acres, architect Mike Nuzzo went all-in on fashioning half-par holes that ask big, tantalizing questions and dismiss feeble answers with comical rejection. The bunkering is bold without being ubiquitous and the greens are adventurous without grating on golfers. Positioned between the big, squawking Karoo course and the giggling Wedge par-3 loop, The Squeeze is Cabot Citrus Farms’ “just right” golf experience, sitting at the heart of a triumphant new golf resort.
