Cabot's Florida property on former citrus farmland, with three courses and an accommodation footprint still expanding.
Cabot Citrus Farms is the Florida property from the developers behind Cabot Cape Breton and Cabot St. Lucia. The resort sits on former citrus farmland in Brooksville, roughly 55 miles from Tampa International Airport, and opened its first courses in 2023. The property is still expanding, which means the accommodation count of approximately 50 rooms will grow, but the golf offering is already substantial.
The Karoo, designed by Kyle Franz, is the primary 18-hole course. It occupies rolling terrain with sandy soil that drains quickly and produces firm playing surfaces uncommon in Florida. The Roost, a collaborative par-3 course with each hole designed by a different architect, provides a social complement to the main layout and is typically included with a Karoo round or stay package. The Squeeze, a 12-hole short course by Mike Nuzzo opened in 2024, rounds out the offering and is generally included with overnight stays.
The property is approximately 90 miles from Streamsong Resort, making a combined trip feasible over four or five days. Southern Hills Plantation, a Pete Dye design, sits roughly five miles from the Cabot gates in Brooksville and offers an additional round outside the resort system.
Nightly rates of $250 to $450 reflect the property's luxury positioning and the included access to multiple courses. Booking is primarily through Cabot directly, with limited availability on Booking.com. As a developing property, the on-site amenities beyond golf are still emerging. A restaurant and pro shop are operational, but the breadth of non-golf activities does not yet match the more established resort at Streamsong. For golfers drawn to new course architecture on distinctive terrain, the current state of the property is part of the appeal. For those who require a fully built-out resort experience, patience or a split trip with Streamsong is the practical answer.
