Citrus Farm Cabot Officially Joins Ranks of Leading American Golf Resorts
Cabot's immersion into the U.S. market isn't just a toe-dip; it's a full-blown plunge. Introducing Cabot Citrus Farms, their grandest property yet, nestled in the Sunshine State, an hour north of Tampa. Sprawling over 1,200 acres, it boasts more golf holes than their original Nova Scotia property, and it's not just about golf.
Cabot Citrus Farms launched officially this week with a flamboyant opening celebration, including a nighttime drone display, a lively party, and a ceremonial tee-off by Canadian LPGA star Brooke Henderson. The resort now boasts a total of 57 holes with the addition of the Roost 18-hole course.
Ben Cowan-Dewar, Cabot's founder, isn't playing small with his U.S. debut, harnessing Florida's unique landscape, once home to the celebrated World Woods Golf Club. The property offers two completely renovated 18-hole courses (Roost and Karoo), an 11-hole Par 3 course (The Wedge), and a short 10-hole course (The Squeeze), where the majority of holes are drivable par 4s and one par 5.
Beyond golf, the property features a quaint village of 36 luxury golf cottages for sale or nightly rental. While the starting price for these cottages is significant at $1.8 million, the views and amenities make it a worthwhile investment. With five two-story fairway homes in the works, the high-end residences sell for $3.7 million and up.
Cabot is renowned for its experiential component, which is ingrained in its ethos to provide an unforgettable experience. The facilities are well-equipped with Trackman technology on the driving range, low-profile lighting on the Par 3 course for nighttime play, and on-course comfort stations equipped with virtual open bar and self-serve bars.
The resort's crowning feature is The Porch. Located centrally, it's a gathering spot with fire pits, picnic tables, and comfortable seating areas, complete with a lively bar and a pizza oven.
Roost is a standout, with its name inspired by Florida's wild turkeys that roost in the area. Its designers ensured that the course blends seamlessly with the natural landscape. The course has dramatic elevation changes, unique greens, and a serene yet challenging experience, popular with golfers who enjoy both relaxation and a test of their skills.
The complementary Karoo course, designed by Kyle Franz, is quite different. It features wide fairways, massive greens, significant undulation, and bold contours, inviting creative play.
Overall, Cabot Citrus Farms offers a memorable golfing experience, combining Florida's natural beauty with a challenging and engaging game. And while its experiential component is rooted in golf, the destination caters to a broader spectrum of interests including outdoor activities, luxury leisure, and residential opportunities.
