Rolling Oaks at World Woods Golf Club

Got lucky with an early tee time. Greens are slowing coming back. Nice improvement from when I was there a couple of weeks ago. Plus the heavy rains we had early last week really helped everything green up. Fairways and tee boxes in good shape. Greens coming back from the the frost this winter. Only objection was how slow the greens were. But, that is probably a product of getting them to come back. Other than that, great day at WW - Rolling Oaks.

Tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. Greens were mostly good, though most had about a quarter of them with some patchy areas that haven’t fully healed from frost damage. But despite that, course is fantastic, service was great, and it’s a great value.

The worst greens I have ever played on, I mean tried to play on. Just pick up once you reach the green.

The fairways and tee boxes are beautiful! But the greens are much too be desired. You have no putting game. Too bad because like I said the fairways are in excellent shape. Too bad!!

Staff was great. Layout had some challenges but was fair. They did advise that some of the greens were still recovering from the frost so that honestly was refreshing.

World Woods has 2 beautiful courses. We played Rolling Oaks today. Usually a very nice course and layout. The greens had bare spots and were bumpy. Not good. The sign in the pro shop said they hoped by mid April they would be better. They weren't. I understand things happen but you should tell people before and adjust your price accordingly. The greens were very slow and bumpy.

Love the layout, can be difficult from back Tee position. Greens need TLC.

Course is in good condition except for the greens. Greens are slow and bumpy due to winter freeze.

The whether has had a toll on the greens and most bunkers. Course is no where near the usual great condition. I would give it a few months to recover before playing it again.

Rolling Oaks is a pleasure that never really disappoints. Yes, the greens are still recovering, and there are a couple that aren’t going to give a good roll. But the turf is in good shape, tee boxes are fine, and it’s every bit the challenge as ever. I can understand some of the comments earlier this year where paying winter fees for dead greens would’ve been upsetting. New carts are a nice update, as the prior generation were definitely on their last legs. Started the round cart path only due to weekend storms, but as it was later in afternoon the course had dried and ranger permitted 90 degree cart use. Little over 3 hours to get around.

For a premiere course, greens where in rough shape. Could play other courses for 1/3 the price and get same conditions.
The other annoying thing, rangers stop and check your receit , pro shop doesnt tell you to hold on to it as you will be checked. Do people take golf carts and play?
Looked forward to playing course, top 100 public course, hmmm I think not.

Great round today through 16 holes. Last two rained out. Couse in great condition except for a bit of the greens. They said there were some issues with the greens because of the frost earlier in the year. But I have to say. Still better than most the courses we play.

Course layout and fairways were in great shape. The greens were in terrible shape! I believe we should of been told what the conditions of the green were before we paid the money we did. Way to expensive to play on dried out cracked greens. Need to spend some of the money we paid on the greens!

Sorry I used free round
Greens were the worst I seen
Started did say frost hurt them
That should be stated

They warn you that the greens are not in the best shape. They're right. Slow, bumpy with bare patches.
Other than that, the rest of the course is in great shape. We were practically alone on the course so we took our time and had a great round.
Thanks to Golfnow, the greens fee was reasonable. We would play Rolling Oak again.

The fairways and traps are in good shape. No rakes available. Greens are bad. Slow with many bare spots. Starter told me greens suffered frost damage several times. They are working to restore greens.

Best two (2) Golf Courses in Florida . King is King .. Rolling Oaks and Pine Barrons at World Woods . Some of the greens on Rolling Oaks are still frost freezed from February however the course is still magnificent . Played Westchase and Saddlebrook and World Woods is still #1 . Westchase is #2 and Saddlebrook-Saddlebrook is #3 . Lake Jovita is #4 . All others are mediocre at best except Brooksville Country Club who is #5 in the Tampa Bay region for Public Courses .
Make no mistake ... these are your ONLY choices .. unless you go Private !
