World Woods Golf Club
World Woods Golf Club is a golf facility located in Brooksville, Florida, with two Tom Fazio designed championship courses.[1]
World Woods Golf Club opened for play in 1991[citation needed] and the two golf courses, Pine Barrens and Rolling Oaks, are distinctively different from each other. The Pine Barrens features rolling terrain with wide open fairways surrounded by vast sand waste bunkers. Pine Barrens is reminiscent of Pine Valley Golf Club located in New Jersey. The Rolling Oaks course, adjacent to Pine Barrens, is dotted with mature oak trees and a more traditional layout.
World Woods also sports a 22-acre, four-sided driving range, a 2.2-acre putting course, a nine-hole "short" executive course, a three-hole practice course, a minimalist clubhouse and snack bar with no on-site accommodations.[citation needed]
World Woods was previously owned by Interfive Florida Corporation based in Nagoya, Japan. Interfive also owned two neighboring courses, Southern Woods Golf Club and Sugarmill Woods Golf Club, both located in Sugarmill Woods.
In December 2021, Cabot SMW OPCO LLC, headquartered in Toronto, Canada, purchased World Woods, Southern Woods and Sugarmill Woods Country Club. Cabot currently operates Cabot Links in Nova Scotia and Cabot St. Lucia. The new resort name is Cabot Citrus Farms.[2][3]
