Citrus County on the Gulf Coast of Florida is often referred to as the "Golf Coast" because there are over twenty local area golf courses all within minutes of each other. Avid golfers from all over the country visit Florida each year and many make sure Citrus County is on their list. Visitors and locals alike know that the sunny weather mixed with warm breezes coming off the Gulf of Mexico combine to make winter golfing in Citrus County a pleasure all year round. The golf courses in Citrus County are world-caliber and many have been ranked nationally. In fact, four have been ranked in the top 100 in the nation by Golf Digest magazine. They include Southern Woods Golf and Country Club at Sugarmill Woods in Homosassa Florida, World Woods in Brooksville with two top 100 ranked golf courses and Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto Florida.
	Southern Woods Golf and Country Club was nominated the Best New Private Course in 1993 by Golf Digest Magazine and offers flat, wide fairways, with thick rough, and challenging large greens. World Woods, as mentioned, occupies two spots in the top 100 nationwide. The Rolling Oaks Golf Course was ranked 63rd in 1999 and the Pine Barrens Golf Course was ranked 9th in 1999.
