If you are looking for a great red neck place that serves awesome wings for super cheap Prices, this is your place. We will be back :)

It starts out between houses and then the back nine opens up and it's really quite lovely and somewhat challenging. The course was in great shape, pro shop staff was friendly and I wish I could remember her name but the gal that runs the small snack shop does a great job and is super helpful. It's fun to go up and stay in this area and play this course as well as Juliette Falls, Black Diamond, Skyview, and a few other gems in the area

Love this course! Recommend it as the best course in citrus county hands down. Challenging yet fun.read more

Lots of mermaid, scale and sea animal plushies. My favorite would be the 2 lime green eels, funny the living one is one of my favorites! The aquarium is small, and if its a busy day, it gets uncomfortably crowded, but since you have a fluid hour, you can visit anything you migh have passed as people were backed up. The rescue birds are a nice addition. They look happy and healthy. The employee who was cleaning the windows was also sweet. I mistook one of the tour guys as my friend, he took it well. He was knowledgeable about Nautilus' and was very helpful when explaining the touch tank and how to pet the rambubctious rays, that kept popping up for pets. Theree an activity shark hidden near the benches for kids who need other stimulus. Its a near little corner with sensory floor panels and a lot of finger activity. (Im not sure how often it's sanatized, but it was really popular) The shark nursery was probably my favorite. So many shark purses, little hatchlings and juvenile leopard sharks. What do they do with all the sharks that hatch. Be sure to get a spot on a bench quickly, as they do fill up. We sat on the back right and had a lovely view of Mermaid Hannah and the story of the Mer people. She was lovely and graceful in the water, the fish paid her no attention, but there was a grand standing rat that really loved showing his "face". So cute! If you want to feed the shark or the rays, it is an up charge of $5. They offer a little mermaid photoshoot for girls under 12, for an additional price as well. The offer something for everyone. I really enjoyed my visit

We ordered a blackened fish (flounder) basket with fries and coleslaw and they had draught beer too. The fish was done right, the fries were extra crispy, and the coleslaw was crunchy. The live music was great, a casual and cool place with plenty of parking, and a seemingly popular biker destination. Prices were very reasonable, domestic draught beer $3.25, and the fish basket $12.00. We're definitely coming back.

1 Star -- Irresponsible Guide Who Scared Our Kids…read more We booked this tour expecting a fun family experience. Instead, the guide told our 6-year-old there was an alligator in the water when there wasn't one. Our child was terrified and in tears. Scaring young kids for cheap thrills is not entertainment -- it's irresponsible. A guide's job is to make families feel safe while enjoying the experience, not to traumatize children. We would not recommend this for anyone with small kids. Extremely disappointed.

The facility is well maintained with the exception of Club House. It has been voted many times in Top 100 course in US and Top 5 in Florida. There are two courses, Pine Barrens and Rolling Oaks with a short practice 9 holes. That is a total of 27 holes. There are many driving or practice area. You have no problem of finding a practice area. Ideally it is a nice place to take a 3-5 days' score improvement program here. For the two days we played, the greens are fast and undulating. The fairways are lush, fairly wide and ascetically pleasing with huge sand and or waste area. Yes, you can ground your club without problem here in the sand! The architecture of the course is simply impressive. Pine Barrens is my favorite of the two courses. Rolling Oaks was pretty good but not same level of difficulty. Although I did not lose a single ball for two days, you must play the "smart" shot and not to show off your swing skills. Be prepared to lower your expectation and move the tee forward! The staff are professional, accommodating in the Pro shop, Bag Drops and the restaurant. Rangers are friendly, monitoring the pace of play and not a distraction. Nevertheless, due to the large terrain, it took us 5 hours to finish the play! World Woods needs two improvements; Club House and GPS. Club House need improvement to provide better food for breakfast, lunch and possible dinner with more beer, wine and alcoholic beverage and some extensive hours. Now, the kitchen close at 3:00 PM! At best, it is a greasy spoon operation. If they have some hotel, lodging or resort amenities on site, this will become a top-notch or elite Golf Vacation Destination. Yes, GPS is extremely helpful to navigate through the challenging hills and trees. With some improvement, World Woods would be in league of Black Diamonds, Streamsong, Disney and PGA National. Woohoo! For a public course, it is a four and half stars! It is definitely a real gem and will return again and again!

Has sort of a North Carolina feel to it with all the tall pine trees. Pine Barrens is consistently ranked in the Top 100 courses in the US and Top 5 in Florida. There are two 18 hole courses (Rolling Oaks is the other one), a nine hole short course and the largest driving range you will ever see. The greens are fast and undulating. The clubhouse is modest but well stocked. The course was in excellent condition. Don't pass up a chance to play here. We were paired up with a club pro from Puerto Rico and his friend from Miami. Got a few free tips from him.
