Brooksville Country Club

Brooksville Country Club sits in the rolling terrain of Hernando County in west-central Florida, approximately fifty miles north of Tampa. The course occupies land characterized by more elevation change than is typical for the state, with the area's natural ridges and depressions providing movement uncommon in Florida golf. William F. Mitchell designed the original layout, which later underwent renovation work by Bobby Weed, a Florida-based architect known for his restorations and updates of classic courses throughout the region. The routing takes advantage of the property's topography, with fairways that rise and fall across the landscape rather than playing flat. Mature oaks and pines frame many holes, and several greens sit on elevated positions that require approach shots to be flown to proper levels. Water comes into play on a number of holes, typical of Florida design, though the land movement provides the course's primary strategic interest. Brooksville Country Club serves as a traditional member facility for the local community, offering a course that reflects both its mid-century Florida origins and the refinements brought by later architectural work. The club maintains a regional presence among Florida's extensive golf landscape, providing a layout that uses the area's natural terrain features to create variety within the round. The combination of Mitchell's original design principles and Weed's updates has produced a course suited to the rolling character of this particular section of the state.
