At Cabot Citrus Farms, the fishing is as good as the golf

In her short story, Cabot Citrus Farms has become a premier golf destination in one of America’s top golfing states. Florida, however, is also famous for another outdoor pastime: fishing.

Surrounded by ocean, anglers can spend a lifetime fishing Florida’s saltwater waters, but it’s also arguably the best state to catch the most popular sport fish in the United States: largemouth bass.

That’s why, in addition to its two heralded 18-hole courses – the Roost and Karoo — as well as the inventive Squeeze and the Wedge short courses (that you can play at night), Cabot Citrus Farms offers its guests the opportunity to catch Florida’s most famous fish in a relaxed setting on the property, with full guided instruction.

Fishing and other outdoor activities abound at Cabot Citrus Farms

In Florida, it’s not uncommon for an avid bass angler to sneak onto golf courses to surf ponds for big fish. Just north in Georgia, President Dwight D. Eisenhower was known to regularly fish Augusta National’s ponds.

But at Cabot Citrus Farms, you don’t need to be President or lead the offense to have an unforgettable fishing adventure on the golf course.

When guests need a break from the fairways and greens, they can head to the private lake near the Club House to fish for bass. And no prior experience is needed. The resort has expert guides to provide instruction and all the gear you need to fish throughout your stay.

GOLF’s own Josh Sens went through the full bass fishing experience at Cabot Citrus Farms on a recent trip, which you can learn all about in the video above.

With the many bass fishing opportunities in the surrounding area, Cabot Citrus Farms can also be a great home base for a dual Florida golf and fishing adventure.

For guests who want to stay away from the water, there are plenty of other outdoor activities offered at the resort, from archery to ax throwing to skeet shooting and more.

But with so much good golf, good luck getting off the links.
