About Cabot Citrus Farms - Karoo

Karoo is Kyle Franz's rebuild of Pine Barrens, the better-known of World Woods' two Tom Fazio courses, and it opened in 2024 as the first piece of Cabot Citrus Farms. Expect sand everywhere, wide and rippling fairways, and big, bold green complexes. GolfPass counts eight split fairways, and the course's own notes tell you to pick a side based on where the flag is.

It's 7,562 yards and par 72, and it can get long: GOLF notes the par-3 3rd plays 292 yards from the tips. Misses around the greens usually leave you on short grass, so bring a putter or a bump-and-run as often as a wedge. The name comes from the sandhill cranes on the property, whose trumpeting call is often described as a rolling karoo.

GOLF put it 32nd on its Top 100 Courses You Can Play list for 2024-25. It's built for walking; push carts are free, and from December through March a forecaddie is required if you take a cart.

It's one of 116 courses Yoink watches in the Tampa Bay area, and Cabot Citrus Farms - Roost is practically next door — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
