Cabot Citrus Farms

Brooksville, Florida · Fri Oct 30 – Mon Nov 2, 2026 (not selected)

Sunshine State sandhills, three rounds, one cottage.

Three days, three courses, the Gulf-coast sandhills of Central Florida. Drive-in from South Florida, on-property cottage lodging, resort-guest tee times at Karoo and Roost plus a fun opener at The Squeeze.

Cabot Citrus Farms is the brand's Florida outpost — a sandhill corridor of restored 1960s Florida golf, all reimagined by Kyle Franz and the Cabot team. Two full championship courses (Karoo and Roost), plus two short courses (The Squeeze, 11 holes par-3, and The Wedge), all walkable, all on-property. The group goes in late fall when the heat has broken, rents a 4-BR cottage, drives up from South Florida, and plays three different courses across three days. Sunday is travel home. Golf-only tee times are bookable as a Day Guest, but the league has historically stayed and ate fully on-campus — Cabot rewards that decision.
