About this course

Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club in Dade City features two 18-hole courses, North and South, built on unusually hilly terrain for central Florida, about 30 minutes north of Tampa. The layouts are part of a private, master-planned residential community anchored by a large clubhouse overlooking finishing holes on both courses. The elevation changes and rolling fairways distinguish the property from the flatter courses typical of the region. Golf here has drawn attention for its terrain rather than coastal or resort styling common elsewhere in Florida.

Cabot Citrus Farms - The Squeeze

Brooksville, FL · 17 mi away

The Squeeze is a 10-hole short course at Cabot Citrus Farms in Brooksville, Florida, built on the site of the former World Woods Golf Club roughly 45 miles north of Tampa. Architect Mike Nuzzo designed the course, which opened in 2024 alongside the resort's Karoo and Roost 18-hole courses and the par-3 Wedge course. Holes range from about 100 to 550 yards, including one par 5, three par 3s, and six par 4s, with Nuzzo drawing inspiration from noted short par-4 holes elsewhere in golf. The course plays over the property's sandy, rolling terrain with varied green complexes designed to reward creative short-game play. The Squeeze operates as part of the Cabot Citrus Farms resort, open to resort guests and the public for daily fee play alongside the property's cottages, dining, and other golf courses.
