Brooksville, FL

Cabot Citrus Farms

Florida's newest golf sanctuary — sandy hills, wild greens and Cabot polish.

The place

The new kid with a famous pedigree. Cabot — the group behind Cape Breton's celebrated links — took over the old World Woods property in Florida's sandy central highlands and rebuilt it top to bottom. The rolling, dune-like terrain now carries two reimagined championship courses, Karoo and Roost, plus short courses and a huge putting course that keep the games running past sunset. With cottages and lodging right on property, it is a Streamsong-style immersion trip with fresher paint — golf, food, fire pits, repeat.

Where you crash

The resort

Cabot Citrus Farms cottages & lodges

New-build cottages and lodge rooms scattered steps from the golf — modern, minimal, and built for crews that want to walk to the first tee.

◆ The private house

The Private House

Book a block of adjoining Cabot cottages so the crew shares porches and fire pits on property — or rent a big lake house in the Brooksville countryside fifteen minutes out if you want a full kitchen and pool.

Booking notes

Book lodging and tee times together through Cabot — on-site stays get rate and access priority. It is still ramping up, so course lineup and rates shift; have the concierge confirm current offerings before locking dates.
