The PGA Merchandise Show takes place from January 21 – 23, 2026, Wednesday & Thursday – 8:30 am – 5:00 pm and on Friday, 8:30 am – 1:00 pm.

Consider playing in one or both of our incredible events!! If playing in either event and plan to fly to Florida, we suggest flying into Tampa Int’l Airport, then drive 55 minutes NE to Cabot Citrus Farms or 1:20 minutes SW to the Streamsong Resort!

At Cabot, arrive on Sunday and play & compete in our Short Course Shootout! Play the best 9-hole course (The Squeeze) in the country with holes measuring 100 to 550 yards)! Following golf, belly up to the bar for our evening reception and get ready to play two of the best layouts (Karoo & Roost) in Florida and perhaps the country! The Cottages at Cabot are masterfully designed and located in the heart of Cabot Citrus Farms with each 2-and
4-bedroom Cottage offering a serene indoor and outdoor living space, a fully customized kitchen with premium appliances, and luxurious ensuite bathrooms for each well-appointed bedroom.

Then, consider inviting your team to the PGA Merchandise show. On Thursday afternoon, January 22, drive 90 minutes to the incredible Streamsong Resort. Check into the fabulous Lodge at Streamsong and enjoy the opening cocktail party & reception.  The event runs Friday – Sunday and everyone departs following play on that Sunday, Jan. 25.

Florida Golf, Reimagined

With a natural landscape destined for golf and unlike any other in the sunshine state, Cabot Citrus Farms features sandy soil, 80-foot elevation changes, and expansive natural waste bunkers. Generous rolling fairways are flanked by a unique mix of palmetto trees, towering sand pines, and one-hundred-year-old oak trees draped in enchanting Spanish moss.
Cabot Citrus Farms features world-class amenities, including two revitalized 18-hole courses, one 10-hole course, an 11-hole par-3 course, a new clubhouse, and incredible practice facilities made up of a putting course that spans nearly two acres and a double-ended driving range with TrackMan technology.

Golf: Karoo

A dynamic 18-hole layout designed by Kyle Franz, Karoo features rugged aesthetics with wide fairways, multiple routes to pins, and bold green contours. Varied tee boxes give players a fresh look at the course’s features each time they play. Thoughtfully planned, Karoo rewards creative short-grass recovery shots around the greens. Golfers will encounter Sandhill Cranes throughout their round on this 7,201-yard design—these elegant birds are known to dance and sing, and their call is a loud trumpeting sound that is often described as a rolling karoo.

Golf: Roost

Roost is an 18-hole course that capitalizes on different environments—routing through the sandy, scrubby areas adjacent to Karoo, rolling meadows that are sprinkled with flowering dogwoods and native wildflowers, and even a 40-foot-deep sinkhole. Continuing Cabot CEO Ben Cowan-Dewar’s fascination of great collaborations, the principals of Roost include Kyle Franz, Ran Morrissett serving as Golf Course Architecture Advisor, Rod Whitman, and Mike Nuzzo.

The four principals shared a vision of letting the land tell the story and created a unique 7,200-yard course that is peppered with a number of eye-catching, moss-draped oaks, exuding an Old Florida charm. Golfers will encounter wild Osceola turkeys that roam the course, often heard roosting and seen resting in these gorgeous oaks. A rarity in Florida, the course includes repeated 50-foot elevation changes. With plenty of variety, Roost provides a world-class golf experience for players of all skill levels.

Golf: The Squeeze

The Squeeze offers 10 holes that range from 100 yards to 550 yards, and architect Mike Nuzzo drew inspiration from the world’s best short par 4s to create a course that is full of fun and drama. The shape of the second green was inspired by the old-fashioned corrugated metal tin roofing used in miniature golf, the par-3 third hole has a memorably huge waste area, the fifth hole is designed with a winding fairway that ends with an undulating green, and so on. Playing over varied terrain, each hole at The Squeeze demands different strategies.
