Quality, Weather, and Value Are Why Citrus County is Florida’s Golf Paradise

Citrus County might not have hundreds of courses but the golf facilities that we do have are second to none. There is Citrus Hills, a 10,000 acre master planned community with 3 Championship golf courses, 9 Hole executive course, a 45,000 square foot Spa and Fitness Center, 2 World Class Tennis Facilities, along with an Activities Center that hosts numerous social events throughout the year the lifestyle is on par with some of the top facilities in Florida. But there is more, you have heard of World Woods, (Only 5 Star Public Facility in Florida) Juliette Falls, and Black Diamond which are all within minutes of Citrus Hills along with Southern Hills, and Ocala National. As you can see the quality of golf is great, and the green fees are below market price, but the best news of all is the home choices are numerous and the homeowner fees are in line for the quality of living you will enjoy.

NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION…… I want to tell you about the best weather story in the State. Being in the golf business in south Florida, the Orlando area and living on the Natures Coast I made my money on weather so I have a better understanding on the weather than most and I feel strongly that total year around weather story on the Nature Coast is better than anywhere else in Florida. Let me explain. First, we have 219 days per year that fall into the “comfort zone.” What this means is that for 219 days, you will not need heat or air conditioning. That is 60% of the year. But to give you a better idea of what I am talking about, let me break it down by three seasons. January, July, and Spring/Fall which is our sweet spot. First, January. There is a big myth out there about the frost line and that it is much colder in our area vs our brethren in South Florida. Yes, we have some nights that get into the 40’s and 30’s but the next day we rebound into the high 50’s or low 60’s and when this happening here, roughly the same thing is happening in Naples but 6 degrees warmer. So when we have a 60 degree day, Naples is only at 66. In my opinion, this is splitting hairs and the good news is that these cold snaps only last a couple of days and were back to our average of 70 degrees. The bottom line is whenever I ask anyone their favorite month up north, the overwhelming answer is September. The good news is that our Winter months of December and January have the same average temperatures as you enjoy in September. PS- February and March are even more glorious here in Citrus County.
