Blue and Red courses at Streamsong this weekend before a work conference.  Haven't played once in 2 months.  Will be lucky to break 100.  

Those are the two I like.  I think Black is overrated.  I actually think Streamsong is overrated in general, but the facilities are nice.  The greens are too big and undulating.  

The old World Woods in Brooksville just reopened under a new name.  I played there a few times when I lived in Tampa and it was spectacular.  I'm itching to get to the new ones.

Last week I played at Sage Valley, outside Augusta. Amazing experience, from the A+ lodges to just ordering whatever you want regardless of the menu. They don’t say no. And there were probably 20 staff for every group. I think there were 8 groups on the course. Also it is bent grass, so like Augusta, it burns down and closes in the summer.

I actually really liked the greens on the blue and red.  They rolled so true.  But I agree it isn't going to be a destination I try to get back again soon (although I did tack on a day to the end of my conference in Orlando to knock out the black course on Saturday).

I just booked rounds at Cabot Citrus Farms (that you mentioned) for December 7th and 8th.  One of my work golf trip buddies is going to be in Tampa for work and I'm going to hop down for the weekend to play those courses with him.  I'm really excited.  Karoo looks amazing.

Let me know how it is, particularly in comparison to Stream.  We are talking about taking some clients there in after the new year.

That looks amazing (and like Augusta).

Put Bandon Dunes on your November list.  Came out here for the Thanksgiving week and so far 3 of four days have had very little wind and two were t-shirt weather.  Yesterday was 25-35mph sustained winds, but only a little rain.  Green fees are$120 for first round and $60 for the second round of the day.  What a deal.
