Rolling Oaks at World Woods Golf Club
Played On 11/15/2017Very nice
The course had just been overseeded for winter play, but we got a deal because of that. Cart path only though. Great layout and very pretty course.
Crystal River Golf Club
Played On 04/07/2017Too shabby for me
Crystal River Golf Club, formerly 7 River Golf and Country Club, changed hands about 2 years ago. The new owners spiffed up the club house and ripped out a lot of vegetation and flipped the nines. What they have not done is grow any grass or killed any weeds. The greens are in pretty good shape. But the rest of the course is a mess. Tee boxes, fairways, rough, aprons - all with little grass and lots of weeds. If you want to play somewhere fast and cheap, you can do that here. If you're looking for a decent golf course, go somewhere else. I won't be back.
Juliette Falls
Played On 03/10/2017Great course, slow play
Juliette Falls is the best course I know of in the area that is open for public play. Great layout, great conditions, especially the greens. It was a 5 hour round, with three groups on some of the par 3s. But this is the height of snowbird season, so not a surprise.
Twisted Oaks Golf Club
Played On 11/16/2016Back in shape - Play it!
Under the new management, Twisted Oaks made great strides in recent years until some sort of disaster occurred last year that killed the greens. It's taken them a long time (and I'm sure a lot of work and a lot of money) to come back, but they've done it. With the exception of a small bad spot on No. 1, the greens are back in good shape. The rest of the course was already good - tees, fairways, collars. My only complaint - the rough is a bit parched. But overall, good conditions, interesting layout, good practice facilities, nice folks, nice Pro Shop and restaurant. Twisted Oaks is back on my rotation.
Blue Mash Golf Course
Played On 08/01/2016Nice course, terrible bunkers
Blue Mash is a nice layout and has a good practice facility. But our round today was ruined by the terrible shape the bunkers were in. Many of them should have been labeled ground under repair. They appeared to have been untouched since the recent rain and were borderline unplayable. To charge full price for conditions like that is inexcusable.
Citrus Hills Golf & Country Club - Meadows Course
Played On 02/17/2016So-so course, terrible greens
The Oaks course at Citrus Hills has a few interesting holes, but a lot of blah parallel back-and-forth The main problem, however, is the greens, which were really awful. Thin to the point of being bare and bumpy. Barely playable. Won't be back til I hear they've improved.
Citrus Springs Golf & Country Club
Played On 01/26/2016A little raggedy, but excellent greens
Tight, attractive layout. Lots of doglegs bending both ways. Fairways, rough and tee boxes were okay, but not great. Good in some places, but pretty raggedy in others. Greens were uniformly good - smooth and pretty quick. Good bit of hilly terrain for a FL course. Not at the top of my list, but will play again.
Twisted Oaks Golf Club
Played On 04/10/2015Twisted Oaks is back!
Played over a year ago and took it off my list. In terrible shape. But what a difference a year makes. New owner, new attitude, huge improvement. It was always a nice layout, but was in desperate need of some serious TLC. The new owner has done just that. The course is in great shape and the facilities are substantially spruced up. Great value for the money. If you haven't played Twisted Oaks lately, do yourself a favor - if you can get a tee time. The secret is getting out.
Plantation on Crystal River - Lagoons Course
Played On 03/13/2015Funky layout, good conditions
They keep all the turf (tees, fairways, greens) in good shape. It's low and flat and doesn't drain that well, so be careful when it rains. And the first several holes on the full-size course are interwoven with the 9 hole "Lagoons" course, so the routing is a bit odd and confusing. But overall, a pretty good course.
Lakeside Golf Course
Played On 12/29/2014Great layout, good conditions
Very interesting course. Several holes around an old phosphate mine. Conditions not pristine, but not bad at all. I really enjoyed my round and look forward to returning.
Dunes Golf Club
Played On 11/04/2014Nice course gone to pot
This is a really nice piece of property and an excellent layout. Unfortunately it is in pretty sad shape. Weeds everywhere. When I played there were only a few cars in the lot. Chicken and egg problem - people won't play unless it's in better shape. But I guess they can't afford to get in in shape unless more people play.
Twisted Oaks Golf Club
Played On 10/22/2014Nice course, greens a bit bumpy and wooly
Nice layout - several interesting holes. Fairways and bunkers in pretty good shape. A few places were a bit burned out. Only knock is the greens, which were bumpy and slow. Must be the kind of grass they use.
Sorry about the big rain that put us behind on bunker maintenance Monday - I think most courses were in the same or worse predicament depending on how much rain they got. In this case the weather made the bunkers more of a penalty that day. Glad you like the layout and practice facility. We will think about how to better address this with customers in the future. Thanks for bringing to our attention!
