Greens & fairways were horrible, no distance markers, lady in pro shop was hateful!!! Nothing good to say about this course!!!!
We are happy to report Citrus is Goat Ranch no more.
Crabgrass is GONE and fairways have greened up. Our new Superintendent is named Greene and we call him Rain Man as he loves to water.
Ask for our "Play Us Again" Special and give us another shot to win you over.

lay out is good
the course is in poor shape...
greens have not been taken care off..
The whole course needs to be redone before they lose everything
Joe,
You are right! The course was awful and since we found our new Superintendent, the improvements have been amazing.
Let's get you out again soon and you'll get the "Play Us Again" Special.
You won't recognize the place.

The golf course is in horrible condition. Tees are dirt. Fairways are dirt. Greens are filled with weeds.
The course used to be known for their greens. Not anymore!!
Citrus National is back!!
We had a terrible summer and new Superintendent has us in the right direction. His Nickname is Rain Man because he loves to water, fertilize and mow. :)
Try us again and ask for the "Play Us Again" Special. You will be amazed.

Citrus National ...not again
the fairways are bare, i mean no grass until the back nine...it appears that watering the course is out of the question. I've played at this course a few times, but not for a couple of years. totally down-hill.
Not sure who's running the course maintenance...ownership should look in another direction.
We "looked in another direction"
New Superintendent is named Greene and we call him Rain Man as he loves water.

Course needs work
The course needs some work. Little grass in fairways greens have weeds.
A rating of 2 is not our goal.
Please try us again as we have new superintendent and he has this place looking great again.
Ask for our "Play Us Again" Special and let us earn that 4 to 5 rating.

Your 2 rating is fair for the conditions we had last month.
The turnaround is amazing.
New Superintendent has the greens rolling smooth and the fairways green again.
Mother Nature is also helping with a little rain.

Disappointing conditions
My 2nd time playing this course. Conditions have gone down hill since I played it last year. Very little grass in fairways. Lots of bare spots, Small weeds on the greens and other areas on some greens need repair. Tee boxes need repairs. I won't go back for a while. Too many other coursesin the area are in much better shape. A shame really because layoout is good.
Your rating of 2 may have been closer to a 1.
So sorry for your bad experience.
New Superintendent has turned us around with water, fertilizer and herbicides.
You will be amazed if you try us again and use our "Play Us Again" Special.
Give us a chance to earn a rating of 4 or more.

A Good Course In A Sad State
I have played this Hale Irwin design about 10 times over the last 2 years. It’s a very good layout with movement, rolling hills, variety and interesting green complexes. This was the first time back since I went north in March. The property was part of the World Woods deal when they sold to Cabot. Cabot sold this property off to new owners at that time. I’m afraid the new owners are struggling because the course conditions have plummeted in the past 7 months. I can’t recommend the course in this state but if they can turn it around nobody would be more pleased than I. I will try to update in a few months if this happens. If it was in good shape, this could be a nice warmup round for those making the journey to Cabot Citrus Farms when they open.
Your 1 rating was fair. We had a terrible summer.
New Superintendent has us in the right direction. Owners are also from Michigan and keep pushing to make Citrus National one of the best in the area.
Crabgrass on greens is gone. Fairways and tees are green again.

Disappointed
Being new to the area we searched for a nice course with good conditions and found it in Citrus National. The practice area is great and the staff is always pleasant. I played here 5 weeks ago and the course was in great shape, I recently invited friends from out of state to play and the course was burnt up, greens had patches of what looked like crab grass to the point we used a two putt rule and also moved the ball to a patch of grass on the fairways. I really enjoy this course and hope that they get back on track soon.
Thanks for the 3 rating. Sorry to say, we were more like a 1 rating back in September.
New Superintendent has us green again and the crabgrass on greens is GONE!!
Ask for our "Play Us Again" Special and let us earn a 4+ rating.

Double Bogie. Poor communication
Let me first say I tried to book this round earlier in the week and the app would not confirm my round although my card was charged. I called customer service and they manually booked around, all good right? No, the day before the round I called the course and they didn't have anything in the system. The gentleman at the front desk assured me it was in the system. I showed up for my round on Saturday and nothing was in the system. I took it out on the sweet old lady behind the desk, Marcia, and she eventually made it right. I apologize for my behavior but it was not her fault. This is not the first time this has happened at this course with miscommunication between golf now and the course. Please fix.
So sorry about your bad experience.
Call golf shop directly next time at 352-382-5996. Ask for our "Play Us Again" Special and give us another try to make your golfing experience awesome.

Cow Pasture
This was the worst golf course I have played in years in terms of the quality of the golf course.
The greens were spotty with weeds and the fairways barely had any grass on them, they should have paid me to play there.
We will pay you to play here.
Try us again and ask for the owners special.
Conditions are much improved with new Superintendent. He loves to water and fertilize.
Weeds on greens are GONE and tees are green again.

You will be amazed at the improvement of course conditions. Lady in Pro Shop is a sweetheart. Can't imagine how she offended you but we will "coach her up" and make you feel super welcome next time. New Superintendent is off to fast start. The course improvements in last month are amazing. We call him Rain Man as he loves to water the course.
Try us again, please and soon.
