On Golf.com they list 30 of the best public courses in Florida.
Best-public-golf-courses-florida-2014 On the list, #5 and #11 are the two courses at World Woods in Brooksville. I've played those courses 3 times, after the first time I went back only because my neighbor wanted to play them again. For $65 and a 90 minute drive, I didn't feel they were worth leaving TV.
They had a lot of trees and looked like a northern course, and they were pretty hard to play. At the time they were rated #3 and #9 when I went and to me they were just OK.
I much rather play my old neighborhood course back in Baltimore, that would be Geneva Farms. Over age 55 it's just $37, which includes a hot dog and drink at the turn. That course was the most fun I've had playing anywhere. The 6th hole for example is 442 yards from the white tees uphill. If you hit a 240 yard drive, you'll have reach the crest of the hill and then get to look at a 200 yard shot slightly down hill to the green with a pond in front. It looks like this.
