World Woods Golf Club in Brooksville.
World Woods has been ranked as one of the top 100 courses in the USA
by Golf Magazine's panel of experts.
This facility has two Tom Fazio eighteen-hole championship courses.
Pine Barrens is the signature course for the club. It is a tight, intimidating layout named for its large number of pine trees and barren waste areas. The design demands many long carry shots over waste areas, as well as delicate placement shots to small landing areas. Generally, trees come into play on either the left or right side of each fairway, but rarely both. Two small lakes also come into play on this course. The course rating is 71.6 and it has a slope rating of 134 on Bermuda grass. Designed by Thomas Fazio, the Pine Barrens opened in 1993.
The Rolling Oaks Course is a traditional design with rolling fairways lined with live oaks, dogwood, and magnolia trees. The large greens feature multiple tiers and cavernous protective bunkers. Azaleas are planted along the manicured fairways and greens. Water hazards (two lakes) come into play on three holes. The course rating is 71.4 and it has a slope rating of 131 on Bermuda grass. Designed by Thomas Fazio, the Rolling Oaks golf course opened in 1993.
The Dunes Golf Club in Brooksville.
This course was cut out of a forest, so you can expect many natural hazards. Most fairways meander their way through sand hills and pine trees, but you don't have to worry about encountering sand bunkers or water hazards while you play. Everything about this course's design, with the exception of the fairways and greens, have been left in their natural state.
