Cabot Citrus Farms

I have wanted to play Karoo since the renovation. I had previously played World Woods numerous times. I was given a cart without GPS which made it almost impossible to find your way around. It is not easy to follow the flow of the routing. The fairways are very generous. the greens hold well. However the undulations in greens is as extreme as I've ever seen. The practice green is ridiculous with mounds and umps but it is a harbinger of the actual greens. You may have more than 4 humps in the greens on most holes. the number and the severity of the slopes made putting a very hard exercise. Myself and those I played with felt the lack of having a clue on the proper direction of putts made the round very tiring and took most of the enjoyment out of a round of golf. They are just too severe. Somebody should take ovr half of the humps out and it would still be very challenging. It is a nice facility but be prepared to be frustrated by the overly extreme greens.

Today, I played my very first round of golf ever on the Wedge at Cabot. It was perfect for beginners, but we saw advanced players also using it as a warm-up before playing more difficult courses. I had so much fun that I’ve already reserved my next tee time!

The tremendous complex of Cabot is quite a unique experience!The large practice area is beautiful and there is music playing in the background which gives a unique and pleasant vibe! The Roost Course was in spectacular condition from tee through the greens on all 18 golf holes. The management and any other employees I encountered were extremely pleasant and helpful.The restroom facilities on the course were designed with high end interior finishes while under conditioned air.Weather you order food at a grab and go on the course or sit in the elegant main dining room the food is prepared of the highest quality to enjoy, Cabot's 4 courses are a must play for the golf enthusiast. I would urge anyone to visit Cabot you will not be disappointed! Al Lanz.

I have played Karoo before, this time I played the roost both courses were incredible in completely different ways. Both courses were in absolutely incredible condition. In Florida in the middle of summer most courses get a little mushy from the rain. This course must have incredible drainage greens and fairways were dry

Only negative is I was a single paired up with 3 others. They asked, but it was more like telling me I would need to combine carts. I get it, but playing as a single. I don’t want to be rubbing elbows with a random person. For the price you pay to play there, let the single have a separate cart. The course and the staff were awesome!

Great course, well worth the experience. Similar to the Pine Barrons that it replaced but with less sand and much bigger greens.

Great layout, great condition from tees to greens. The only comment is that it is a little confusing getting around the course since there aren't really defined cart paths. Would highly highly recommend though to anyone considering playing the course!

This course is the best conditioned golf course me and my buddies have ever seen. Greens are rolling perfectly. Amazing design hole-after-hole. Much different than anything we’ve ever played. Will always come back to Karoo when I get the chance.

Played Cabot Citrus Farms Karoo on July 4. It is an awesome course with a very unique layout. Some may say the contours on some of the greens are unfair. They definitely push the line. But I found it very fun to play. The fairways and greens are really big. The fairways are surrounded by sand and waste areas. As mentioned. Many huge contours and undulations on the greens. The only negative is if lightning is within 6 miles of the course they make you go in. We started and stopped 3 times before we had finished 3 holes. I had a 1036 tee time. And by 130 had only finished 3 holes. I eventually finished the round. But this made for a very long day on an other wise GREAT course.

This was unlike any other course I’ve ever played in Florida. Conditions were immaculate and the course had a ton of personality. Super impressed even with the price. We’ll be back!

I was a huge fan of WW before it closed. I was hoping for a redesign that would rival Streamsong.This isn’t even close and it costs more to play!! I’d consider paying $150-$200 to play here, but it’s not worth $300-$400. Boring attempt at an Alpha Golf destination. It’s not even a top 5 golf destination in the state. I’d pick Sawgrass, PGA National, Streamsong, Innisbrook, Hammock Beach, and BayHill before Cabot. This is a prime example of a brand that over values its name trying to make a money grab. I guess this is golf’s version of a tourist trap.

This short course is fun and all it's hyped to be. With a par 5, several par 3s, and 6 par 4s - it will test all parts of your game. The course is open enough off the tee that it seems easy, but there are few level or flat lies to be found and the course really directs you where to aim. The greens are decent size and have quite a bit of slope in them - so be careful of what section of the green your approach lands. The staff is top notch and very helpful. The practice areas allow for practice of any aspect of your game. Try the 18 hole putting green prior to starting your round to get accustomed to the slope and speed of greens you will encounter on the courses. Amenities at the resort are.plentiful. I will be returning in the near future.

Played both Cabot’s in Canada and in comparison while not the same types of courses Karoo was a bit of let down. The good: practice facility is unreal; staff are exceptional, the operation is well organized, the lay out is pretty unique and the views are so nice. Cons: price is steep for the experience. Signage around the course was a bit lacking at times, using a pull cart through the sand was tricky at times and greens are absolutely massive and quick but sometimes pin location made it feel like a video game as there was no where to leave the ball to give you a chance to hold the green near the pin. As one time experience absolutely and don’t regret it.

I personally hate Florida resort style golf so I love that this is a little different. We stayed on site. The hospitality and customer service was maybe the best I have ever seen at a golf course which is what Cabot prides itself on. The 2 bed 2 bath homes were awesome . The food at the restaurant was amazing. I love that it's out in the middle of nowhere. We played all four courses.... Karoo by far the best. The par three course is very average.... The lighting at night is terrible. We were told they are redoing it soon though. I wish they didn't require caddies honestly. I also wish they weren't getting ready to put up residential houses on the course as it will lose some of its allure in my opinion.

Much more traditional off the tee with every challenge you’d ask of a high end golf course. There are some difficult holes built into a gorgeous walk. Both sides are a great time with the comfort station built in strategically to never leave you without a beverage or bite.

A lot of folks said it’s not ready for prime time yet but I think any non-snob golfer will love every inch of the property. Visually distracting off the tee but very fair once you get the ball in play. If you can keep it in the fairway, you can have a lot of fun!

The Roost had a fairly high standard to live up to, created as it was from the husk of the former Rolling Oaks course at the former World Woods Golf Club. Three different architects and one consultant took their turns reimagining this new-look 18, which is much broader-shouldered and more intense than the course it replaced. In most cases, that’s for the better. At times, though, the aggressiveness of the green contours threaten to overwhelm players, especially when the greens are at high speed. Even still, I like Roost better than Karoo among Cabot Citrus Farms’ two current ‘big’ courses, and the surrounding facilities are fantastic.
