El Diablo Golf & Country Club in Citrus Springs
This course features fast, undulating greens and several elevated holes. The fairways are narrow, however, generous landing areas are a saving grace. "Golf Digest" selected it as the "Best New Affordable" course for 1999. Target golf best describes the strategy on the course, which is dictated by the ever-present reminder of trees lining all of the holes. Prudent shot placement is a must. Five sets of tees offer challenging play for everyone from the every day player to PGA pros. More than 100 varieties of vegetation are featured on the lush course, highlighted by statuesque, mature oaks. Although the course is relatively new, it gives the impression of being a well-established, mature course. A deep green color tops the fairways, allowing for quick divot recovery and enhanced ball elevation. Water accentuates the signature hole, #11, a 392-yard, par 4, which also features an elevated green protected by three large bunkers in front. On the second shot, no green surface is visible, however, the pin is easily spotted. A trio of bunkers in the foreground create a deceiving depth illusion, appearing to be touching the green's surface, when in reality, they are 30 yards in front. Trusting the yardage on this hole is essential.
