Planning a golf vacation to Florida often comes down to striking the right balance: playing courses that keep the game engaging and having a quiet, comfortable home base to return to each afternoon. When you spend hours out on the fairway, coming back to a crowded resort lobby or an unfamiliar hotel corridor can feel counterproductive. Having a space where you can step out onto a private patio, sit by a quiet pool, and prepare dinner at your own pace changes the tone of the entire trip.
In the Citrus Hills community of Hernando, Florida, the Golf and Pool Home offers that kind of getaway. Situated about seven miles from Crystal River on the Gulf coast, in an area known as the Nature Coast, it provides a peaceful environment designed for families, small groups of friends, and golfers escaping the winter cold.
Exploring Golf Across the Nature Coast Region
One of the advantages of staying in Citrus Hills is the access to distinct golf experiences nearby. Right in the immediate community, Citrus Hills Golf & Country Club features two established courses: The Oaks and The Meadows. The Oaks offers rolling terrain framed by oak and pine trees, creating scenic, structured fairways. The Meadows presents gently turning fairways and undulating greens that test your approach play without requiring an overly complicated strategy.
For those looking to include a destination round during their stay, Cabot Citrus Farms in Brooksville sits further out in the region. Built on the site of the former World Woods facility, Cabot Citrus Farms features full-length 18-hole layouts in Karoo and Roost, along with shorter formats like The Squeeze, a 10-hole course, and The Wedge, an 11-hole par-3 course.
Please note that all tee times and green fees are booked and paid separately directly through the respective course operators, allowing you to tailor your playing schedule directly with each course. During the busy season, guest tee times can be limited, so booking early is wise.
Returning to the Golf and Pool Home
After completing a round, having a dedicated private home makes the rest of the day effortless. The Golf and Pool Home is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence focused on quiet relaxation and gathering together.
Outside, the highlight of the property is the private screened pool and furnished lanai. It gives you a comfortable outdoor space to sit back, discuss the day’s scorecard, read, or cool off in the water without leaving the property. Inside, the home features bright, well-lighted spaces equipped with upgraded furniture and furnishings.
A full set of kitchen appliances makes it easy to prepare breakfast before an early tee time or cook dinner in the evening. For small groups or families reconnecting, having dedicated living spaces and a full kitchen offers convenience and privacy. When planning travel for your group, keep in mind that the property offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, so you can confirm how the sleeping arrangements fit your group’s needs.
Attentive Hospitality in Citrus Hills
This property was originally chosen as our future retirement home, one we are not ready to move into full-time just yet. Opening it to traveling families and golf guests allows others to enjoy the friendly, peaceful area while helping us maintain the home.
As hosts, we aim to be attentive, caring, and ready to help whenever needed. We have been coming to this area for 40 years, and we are happy to help you plan ahead. In one guest’s words: “It was spotlessly clean, in a very quiet neighborhood, and the hosts were wonderful. It was exactly as described, only better.”
