“Experience golf – the Nature Coast way” Citrus Springs... the course that dispels the myth that Florida is flat.. (Take a look!) The layout and rolling terrain of the course is reminiscent of North Carolina courses.  Although the course is not extremely tight, allowing you to swing away, an errant shot may be caught among century old oak trees lining each picturesque fairway.  Several holes have sharp doglegs approaching elevated greens which require precise iron play.  Four sets of tees allow golfers of all skill levels to enjoy this course.  COURSE STATISTICS TEE   PAR   YARDS RATING SLOPE BLUE   72    6699      71.3     120 WHITE  72    6242      69.6     118 GOLD   72    5601      66.4     109 RED   72    5428      70.3     118 History The 9-hole version of the Citrus Springs Golf and Country Club, designed by Charles Almony, was inaugurated on February 15, 1973 with Gene Sarazen attending.   In July 1977, the second 9 holes, also an Almony design, were opened and featured Ken Venturi conducting a golf clinic.
