Cabot Citrus Farms (Roost)

Roost is an 18-hole course that capitalises on different environments—routing through the sandy, scrubby areas adjacent to Karoo, rolling meadows that are sprinkled with flowering dogwoods and native wildflowers, and even a 40-foot-deep sinkhole. Continuing Cabot CEO Ben Cowan-Dewar’s fascination of great collaborations, the principals of Roost include Kyle Franz, Ran Morrissett serving as Golf Course Architecture Advisor, Rod Whitman, and Mike Nuzzo. The four principals shared a vision of letting the land tell the story and created a unique 7,200-yard course that is peppered with a number of eye-catching, moss-draped oaks, exuding an Old Florida charm. Golfers will encounter wild Osceola turkeys that roam the course, often heard roosting and seen resting in these gorgeous oaks. A rarity in Florida, the course includes repeated 50-foot elevation changes. With plenty of variety, Roost provides a world-class golf experience for players of all skill levels.
