The eagerly awaited Cabot Citrus Farms, Cabot's first golf destination in the U.S., is set to dazzle as a 1,200-acre haven for golf enthusiasts and real estate connoisseurs alike.
Slated for a grand opening in October 2024, with preview play beginning late last month, this expansive retreat features two main 18-hole courses, Karoo and The Roost, along with two short courses, The Wedge and The Squeeze. Promising an unmatched golfing experience nestled in the Nature Coast's pristine natural beauty.
Beyond golf, the resort will also offer luxurious guest accommodations, diverse dining venues, and a plethora of family-friendly activities including racket sports and nature explorations, making it a comprehensive lifestyle destination.
This transformational project not only enriches the local landscape with its refined golf courses designed by Kyle Franz and Mike Nuzzo but also introduces an exciting real estate opportunity with the launch of The Cottages, a collection of elegantly designed homes. As Cabot Citrus Farms readies to redefine luxury living and golfing in Florida, it continues the Cabot Collection's legacy of delivering exceptional golf and resort experiences across the globe.
The acquisition story of Cabot Citrus Farms is equally compelling, with Ben Cowan-Dewar securing the property after years of pursuit. This site, known for its unique topography and sandy soil, was previously home to World Woods, a once-celebrated golf destination. Under Cowan-Dewar's vision, the property has been transformed, with the Karoo course introducing a novel approach to golf course design, characterized by its wide fairways and strategic play options. The Roost, set to debut in the spring, and additional courses like the Squeeze and the Wedge, further exemplify the innovative spirit of Cabot's golf offerings.
The philosophy behind these designs is rooted in providing both challenge and enjoyment, ensuring a memorable experience for every golfer. Through strategic hazards and varied play options, these courses aim to encourage thoughtful gameplay and offer new perspectives on golf course architecture.
Cabot Citrus Farms stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of golf, combining innovative design with a deep appreciation for the natural landscape. It represents a new chapter for the Cabot brand, promising to be a destination where golf enthusiasts and families can create lasting memories.
