600 acres of undeveloped land, plus two other nearby courses, Sugarmille and Southern Woods. Retail outlets, restaurants and a spa are also being considered as an add-on to the property in the master plan. Once complete the name World Woods will be dropped and the new resort will be rebranded, Cabot Citrus Farms. “When we open again there will be lodging, as well as, a new clubhouse.” Visiting golfers have stayed in the nearby towns of Spring Hill and Crystal River in the past and made day visits from Orlando and Tampa as well. The Tampa airport is an hour away and Brooksville has an airport that can accommodate corporate jets. Kelso expects Cabot Citrus Farms to be more friendly for golfers who want to walk, and caddies will likely be available. Pine Barrens was the site of a final qualifier for the Senior PGA Tour in the 1990s and a Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf match between David Toms and Phil Mickelson. With Ben Cowan-Dewar, as well as, Mike Keiser involved in the restoration of this property, we can’t wait to see the finished product.
