About Southern Woods Golf Club

This is the old Southern Woods, now Citrus National. Hall of Famer Hale Irwin designed it, and it opened on November 9, 1992. The club describes winding fairways over hilly terrain. It's par 72, 36 out and 36 in, at 6,935 yards from the blues (73.0 rating, 127 slope), with white (6,427), gold (5,797), red (5,198) and green (4,973) tees for shorter games.

The practice area is a reason to come early: a double-sided range, a 4,000-square-foot putting green and a short-game area with a practice bunker and room for 30- to 60-yard pitches.

It has changed hands twice lately. A Toronto company, Cabot SMW OPCO, bought it with Sugarmill Woods and World Woods around the start of 2022, and in July 2022 Tampa-based Links Golf, led by PGA pro Scott Yates, bought Southern Woods, Sugarmill Woods Country Club and the Oak Village sports complex. Members of the two clubs share 36 holes.

It's one of 3 courses in Homosassa on Yoink, and Sugarmill Woods Country Club is practically next door — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
