Editor's Note: Course closed and redesigned as Cabot Citrus Farms.

Rolling Oaks is one of two championship courses at World Woods Golf Club. The layout offers something completely different from the renowned Pine Barrens course at the club, but it still offers the same amount of challenge and quality. The golf course is named after its landscape of rolling hills and forests of centuries old Oak trees draped with Spanish moss. Lush, rolling fairways lead to undulating greens that are protected by sharply defined, white sand bunkers. Water hazards come into play on three holes. The golf course has a traditional design but the dramatic elevation changes and picturesque landscape covered in azaleas, dogwoods, and magnolia trees really make it stand out. In addition to the two golf courses, World Woods also offers a nine-hole practice course and a circular, 20-acre driving range with target greens and practice bunkers.

A fond farewell to a place that needs attention

This course is awesome, but not in as good of shape as Pine Barrens. Its a bit overgrown & needs the attention it's going to get. I will miss playing here, but when their vision for the next version of this place happens, I want to see it. Also, these golf courses deserve better conditioning. I think with newer grasses and another vision plus some trees removed this place will become the Pinehurst of FL.

Great course - needs better maintenance

I've played this course several times over the years. Unfortunately, the property is no longer maintained to the level that is required. I realize the course has been sold but we are still paying a lot of money to play the course. Several greens are losing grass and hardly any bunker is playable. At 1pm on a Monday, I saw one course worker the entire afternoon. I was hoping for a better course for $75 in March.
Better days ahead after the renovation I hope if it isn't too pricey for the local players!!!!!

Fantastic Layout - „Classic Golf“

We had a fantastic round. The club and the amenities are aged. And you can see that the property was sold But the layout still is absolutely stunning. Every hole looks different, Fairways in good shape. So were the greens. Very deceptive and tough to play. A challenging course in a very calm environment. Loved every minute. You can only hope that the rebuild can conserve the atmosphere…. - and that they continue to leave the place open for the public. .

Ya ok.

I was skeptical considering the greens comments. Yes, several greens had sandy spots but not a bad as I had feared. I was pleasantly surprised. The rest of the course was great. The rye grass overseed went well. Definitely not worth a c-note. It's closing in June for, I heard, a year and a half for renovation. If you can find a deal, go.

Over priced for the conditions

We were disappointed with the conditions. I played the course in December and it was in good condition and half the price of yesterday’s round. Course was very brown and the greens were very slow.

Best Course experience in Florida

Rolling Oaks along with sister course Pine Barrens is a top 5 experience in Florida. Highly recommend making this a destination stop while in Florida if you are anywhere near these two courses.

Play it before June when new owners come in and ruin 2 great layouts at affordable prices for daily play players

Don’t play until it gets redone

Course is in poor condition currently as they are shutting down to be fully renovated. The layout is great, the conditions were terrible with extremely slow and inconsistent greens

So much potential

We happened upon this golf course and we were pleasantly surprised and are happy to hear it is going to be renovated. It is going to be fantastic. We enjoy playing Cabot in Nova Scotia and I gather the same people are involved so it should do very well!

Not worth the money (Won’t Play Again)

Played Rolling Oaks. Greens were in terrible condition. Fairways were somewhat greens but obviously not seeded enough for winter months. Landscaping unkept and rough was very rough. Trees down all over the course and just left there, some on cart paths and you have to drive around them. There are 10 courses within 20 miles that are in far better shape and prices more reasonable.

I agree with you not worth the price. More like a 40 to $50 course at best
