Opened in 2024, this 18-hole championship course is part of the highly anticipated Cabot Citrus Farms resort, offering a distinct and engaging golf experience. Franz, known for his thoughtful renovations and ability to blend courses seamlessly with their natural surroundings, has crafted a layout that pays homage to the classic Florida golf aesthetic while introducing modern strategic elements.
The design philosophy behind The Roost emphasizes strategic play, natural beauty, and a fun, walkable experience. Franz utilized the property's rolling terrain, sandy soils, and native vegetation to create a course that feels both timeless and fresh. Golfers will encounter wide, sandy-edged fairways, artfully contoured greens, and an abundance of natural hazards that demand careful shot selection. The course is designed to be enjoyable for players of all skill levels, with multiple teeing options and a layout that encourages creativity and thoughtful decision-making.

The course offers a refreshing departure from typical Florida designs, with significant elevation changes and expansive views that evoke a sense of open space. The firm and fast conditions, characteristic of the sandy base, provide a variety of shot-making opportunities, from bump-and-run approaches to precise aerial attacks. The Roost promises a memorable round, combining strategic challenge with the serene beauty of its natural setting, making it a must-play destination for discerning golfers.
