Citrus Hills
Resort-style sophistication and golf course living
Citrus Hills is Citrus County's master-planned amenity community — a long- established development built around four private golf courses, a state-of-the- art fitness and spa complex, and a club calendar that genuinely functions as a third place for thousands of residents. The Citrus Hills Golf & Country Club operates three 18-hole championship layouts — Skyview (a 7,100+ yard course sitting at 260 feet of elevation, among the highest in Florida, with Tifeagle greens), The Oaks (6,310+ yards, tree-lined views), and The Meadows (6,000+ yards, rolling fairways) — plus the 9-hole Brentwood course, all served by practice facilities, pro shops, and a clubhouse dining program. Terra Vista, the newer northern section, offers contemporary custom builds with modern open floorplans, while the established southern neighborhoods feature mature landscaping, larger lots, and a wider range of price points. The community sits on rolling terrain — genuinely hilly by Florida standards — which gives many homes elevated views and makes the "Hills" in the name more literal than typical for Florida. HCA Florida Citrus Hospital is roughly seven miles south; Lecanto and Inverness are within 15 minutes.

- What types of homes are available in Citrus Hills?
- Citrus Hills housing splits roughly into three tiers: established homes from the 1980s and 1990s in the original southern neighborhoods (most affordable, mature landscaping), mid-tier resales across the broader community, and Terra Vista's newer custom builds at the upper end of Citrus County pricing. Lots range from a quarter acre on golf-course frontage to over an acre in the more secluded sections. The community is HOA-managed with covenants that keep architecture and landscaping consistent, and amenity access is tied to club membership tiers — buyers should review which level (golf, social, sports) fits their use.
