Cabot Citrus Farms: Karoo

About Cabot Citrus Farms: Karoo

Kyle Franz has delivered something genuinely special in the rolling hills of Brooksville, opening this spectacular new layout in 2024 that immediately establishes itself as a must-play destination. Franz, known for his thoughtful routing and strategic design philosophy, has crafted a course that takes full advantage of the property's natural elevation changes and mature citrus groves – a rarity in Florida golf that gives the experience an almost California feel. The architect's signature style of rewarding precision over power is on full display here, with cleverly angled fairways and greens that demand course management rather than brute force. What sets this place apart from the crowded Florida golf scene is how Franz has preserved and integrated the working citrus operations into the golf experience, creating a truly unique atmosphere where you're playing through active groves rather than generic residential corridors. The conditioning is pristine for such a new facility, and the public access makes it an exceptional value compared to the resort courses dominating this part of central Florida. Walking is encouraged and highly recommended – the property's natural contours make for an engaging trek that enhances the strategic elements of Franz's design.
