Kyle Franz—the restoration hand behind Pinehurst's Mid Pines and Southern Pines—got a blank canvas of Florida sand ridge and built Karoo, a course that plays far bigger than its scorecard: exposed sand, wiregrass, and greens with real attitude.
It's the headliner at Citrus Farms and the round to play first. Width off the tee is deceptive; the angles into these greens decide everything.
Caddie notes
01Pick a side of the fairway based on the pin, not the tee markers—the wrong angle leaves impossible recoveries.
02The greens run fast and crowned; center-of-green is a strategy, not a cop-out.
03Take the half-price replay and play it again—Karoo reads completely differently the second time.
