Opinion Piece on Mike Nuzzo's Cabot Citrus Farms (Squeeze) Now Up

(1/2) > >>

Andrew Harvie:
Next week, much of the focus will be on Kyle Franz' eccentric Karoo course and Franz, Mike Nuzzo, Rod Whitman, and Golf Club Atlas' own Ran Morrissett's Roost for Cabot Citrus Farms' official Grand Opening. Makes sense, they're the eighteen hole offerings at the once-World Woods Golf Club, and a majority of the focus in golf architecture is on the big courses.


With that said, I'm hoping Mike Nuzzo's Squeeze course, a charming ten nine hole golf course occupying parts of the old practice holes and the once-famous circular driving range, doesn't fly too far under the radar. Par 3 courses are certainly popular at resorts similar to Citrus Farms (Bandon Dunes, Cabot Cape Breton, Sand Valley, Forest Dunes, etc), but I'm hoping this opens the door for those big resorts to explore and build nine hole regulation-ish golf courses (or something similar) to help differentiate themselves in a growing marketplace, while diversifying their own offerings. At Citrus Farms, there's a par 3 course, two eighteen hole golf courses, and the Squeeze... a multitude of options to play golf!

A Celebration of The Squeeze, Mike Nuzzo's Solo Addition to Cabot Citrus Farms

My opinion piece is above. What are your thoughts, should resorts begin to look into adding Squeeze-type courses, or do par 3 courses fill that space? Sand Valley is adding The Commons which is not quite a full-length offering but a similar setup to the Squeeze with mostly par 3's and par 4's so perhaps there's a movement underway. For one, I'm excited to see what comes out of it. The more attention nine hole golf courses get, the better!

Jeff_Brauer:
The course looks fantastic.  Mike is quite the artist!

Can't wait to take a trip north and do a walkabout, to borrow from Jan Stevenson, GCA.


Congrats to Mike and all associated with the project
