La Cita Country Club Review

Course is in terrible shape. Would not recommend anyone waste there money here.

Prime rib rare like I ask but hard to cut alot strings of ? Not a good quality of meat. Flavor good juices good just not a good quality of prime rib.

You would think that in FLA the grass grows year round....Not Here!!! Very disappointed in the condition since a year ago....Does anyone own a weed eater that works there cause the golf course maintenance doesn't or they choose not to use it...won't be back# ever

La Cita had the best greens that I have seen in a long time. The course was in exceptionally good shape. Weather seem to be other players, play was at a good speed. We had a most enjoyable time and are looking forward to returning next week. Attached is a photo of the first Fairway. There's a large Oak Tree in the middle.

More people should join! It's more affordable than you think and always chill here!

The worst course I have ever golfed on. Only dirt on t-boxes, no grass on fairways, and the greens were mostly bare..

The people that work here are just right on,all the time, very courteous,and always with our safety in mind now, because not what's going on,the course is in very good shape, for this time of year,no rain to speak of,but they are keeping up with the Joneses anyway,had a wonderful day of golf today and as always,a cart girl with a wonderful smile and personality!!! Thanks to BRENT, for maintaining a good repore with all the golfer's,and the pro shop people are super too! Very courteous all the time and keeping everyone safe, for a great day of golf, thank you very much every one of you for being at work during this time in our lives!!!

Played 9 holes with my wife the staff was very friendly and helpful we look forward to playing again soon

This is a great place to play golf. Good greens and great fairways. Nice friendly staff.

A swanky clubhouse and a well-made commercial advertised us. The course has a beautiful southern charm, but probably the best times behind. After the first nine we would have liked to quit. The teas and fairways barely had any grass. Everything was very hard. The greens are extremely slow. The second nine were a bit better then. But overall, more appearance than being. We definitely will not be back.

Nice course nice layout just need to get grass growing on the fairways

A bit pricey; service was awesome; and peace and quiet for good conversation. Mellow music in the background added to a feel of luxury.

This beautiful, challenging course is #1 for shade, due to it's large, gorgeous, mature trees. This is an important detail in Florida!

Wonderful food, beautiful renovation! We had a lovely Thanksgiving. Vivian has done a marvelous job since taking ownership.

My husband and I had our wedding at LaCita on December 29th. Everything was exceptional. The food was delicious (Good job Chef), the staff did an amazing job at making sure everything went smooth and the ambience was perfect for our special day. I would highly recommend LaCita for events.

Wonderful day of golf with new Canadian friends from Montreal. Beautiful country club, great course. Thanks to Logan n Steve for this recommendation. Did not disappoint

Private Country Club in the process of returning to its former glory. The course is difficult but laid out nicely. Still plenty of room for improvement though

I love this place everything 97/100 except some of back holes need to fix. I usually go to practice at this place when I got time. Awesome

food needs attention
to detail- please.

Hosted my baby shower here and everything was amazing! The staff and servers were so friendly and helpful. The food was delicious! My guests kept complimenting the venue and food. This place is definitely a hidden gem! I highly recommend La Cita for any event.

Wow, where to start? Its been a very long time since I have had the pleasure of eating at a restaurant and having no complaints. Gumbo was perfect, fried gator was on point, steak Madagascar melted in my mouth! Service was exceptional!

Nice Prime Rib special in the middle of the week ! And you can always expect good service if you ask for RAY!

Under new ownership, improvement are being make. A fun course to play.

Amazing grounds and facility. It has been newly renovated! I think it's the best golf course and country club in all of the space coast.

I love hanging out at La Cita! The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. Every time I have been to La cita I have had a great experience. I would highly recommend La Cita for food and fun!

The country club is in the process of a big renovation and I am sure once they are done it will be very clean and nice. I look forward to using the facilities very soon.

Another great round on this hidden gem. Consistent greens, beautiful blue skies, and a challenging layout. Evaluate your skills on this excellent track today.

Course was great, but asked for separate carts for covid reasons. They rolled their eyes and charged $15 each for both of us. Kinda petty I think.

Convenient, great service, incredible food and great times!

Fairways only in fair condition, Greens OK, but the rate of play was poorly maintained. They allow "5" people to play and when we called to report a real back up they wouldn't do anything about it. Obviously not interested in pleasing visitors.

Have enjoyed dinner in the clubhouse on several occasions, but last night's prime rib buffet was over the top. Some of the best prime rib we have had in a very long time. Our party of 6 enjoyed the peel and eat shrimp, salad, assorted veggies, potatoes, salmon, chicken and the star of the show, delicious prime rib. All topped off with assorted desserts.

Management is making great strides toward restoring this restaurant to one of Titusville's best restaurants.

This past weekend my husband and I hosted an open house/sit down dinner for our wedding reception that focused on managing social distancing and other safe practices. The staff at La Cita worked with us to create the best celebration we could imagine. I have not one suggestion of something that could have been handled better! We also have received so many positive comments from our guests. The staff at La Cita honored us through their quality service, making this moment special for us and enjoyed by all.

Under new ownership, improvement are being make. A fun course to play.

First time playing golf here. I did enjoy it but...course was very dry, nothing lush or green. Disappointed that the fairways were hard packed as well as the greens. It was the same with sand traps. Price was right and easy to book. I'll try it again though.

They will not allow jeans on a cold day. Just drove 90 minutes to play.
Welcome to 2021 where Americans still live in the 1800s.

The food is wonderful with lots of specials to entice as the club is working to regain new and old members. Good wine list with half price bottles on Friday and Saturday. Even have an early bird special. They have the best fish and chips in the area and Chef's fish dishes are a delight.

The course is in great shape and the club house is perfectly done...We really enjoyed the tournament and will continue to play here. Highly recommended.

Found plastic in the spinach artichoke dip. Manager was kind enough to comp the dip and our soda's as we cancelled the rest of our order.

Came to have a nice dinner with my family, that was not the case. As the girl who scrambled to seat us in a pretty much empty restaurant. Took about 20 minutes to get our drinks.... well most of our drinks. We waited a little longer to get the bottle of wine we had ordered. Looking back into the bar I was able to see our waiter enjoying some wine for himself, then he came to tell us the they were out of the wine we ordered. Luckily he was there to offer us a bottle that was 3 times more expensive. Shot that down and got something more comparable. After that was figured out, we moved onto our food. Mostly oversalted and basically inediable. Got pork belly that was so over cooked it almost broke a tooth. Also ordered their steak special, fried onions were cold, green beans were cold, and my twice baked potato was left in the microwave a little too long and burnt any tasted buds that might have actually let me taste what little flavor may have been there. All in a it was a bad experience. But it seemed to get worse. When we asked for a manager it seemed there was no one in charge. But I guess that leaving four 20 somethings year olds in charge of a bar on a Friday night makes total sense. Wont be coming back.

In its heyday, La Cita Country Club set the standard for country clubs on Florida s Space Coast. When its doors opened in 1985, this landmark country club attracted some of the region s most influential golfers and socialites; not just from the immediate area, as most new clubs tend to do, but from as far as Orlando, Palm Beach and Jacksonville.

The course is a traditional blend of manicured turf, decorative landscapes, and native woodlands. Mature trees line many of the fairways and water comes into play on 14 holes. Break out the bird watcher s guide as you make your way around; you re bound to encounter white egrets, sand hill cranes, ospreys, hawks, and even the occasional eagle.

La Cita is definitely not your typical Florida golf course[.] In fact, it s very challenging no matter which set of tees you play. The course takes full advantage of the surrounding topography; in addition to the lakes and woods, you ll encounter small hills and slight elevation changes, something not common in this part of the state. For the most part, the greens are small and elevated. They tend to run on the fast side and roll true, which only adds to the excitement.

A full complement of practice facilities including a driving and chipping range are at your disposal. There s also a large practice putting green in front of the clubhouse. The range maxes out around 200 yards, so most players won t be able to hit driver.

Plenty of doglegs and mature oak trees with overhanging branches will challenge your accuracy, especially off the tee. Your accuracy is greatly rewarded on approach shots as well, because many of the greens are very small and crowned.

After your round, be sure to stop by the clubhouse for a cold beverage and some great food. The well-stocked bar has all your favorite libations, as well as several domestic and craft brews on tap and a respectable wine list. Seasonal menus authored by executive chef Daro Chan can be enjoyed for lunch and dinner, as well as a for Sunday brunch. Chan was lured to La Cita last fall from Indian River Preserve, a nearby public course. His regional reputation is formidable, and his culinary range impressive.

One of the menu selections that piqued my palate was the Pot Roast Poutine: tender braised prime rib tips and cheese curds in a rich, brown gravy. At the time of this writing, it was available for both lunch and dinner. Another interesting option is the Salmon BLT: poached, flaked salmon, bacon and Swiss cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla with lettuce, vine-ripe tomato and lemon-dill mayonnaise.

Until only a few years ago, the club was in decline; despite the previous owners good intentions, appearances were not being kept up. In December 2016, the property was purchased by Vivian Dimond, an influential and highly respected South Florida real estate developer and investor who is also a famously gracious hostess. She immediately set out to restore La Cita to its former glory, from the clubhouse to the greens, where a new irrigation system was immediately installed, and a fleet of new golf carts purchased. Granted, the work continues, but conditions are improving on a daily basis, particularly on the golf course.

In addition to the Stay-and-Play component and member-for-a-day specials, La Cita currently offers some great golf membership opportunities. The Unlimited Membership includes unlimited access to the golf course, driving rage, tennis and racquetball courts, swimming pool, athletic club and clubhouse. Corporate memberships are also available. Snowbirds will appreciate the seasonal membership, which can be purchased with or without golf cart privileges. (All memberships have a low monthly food and beverage minimum.)

As La Cita puts members and guests first, and completes its renovations, this once-famous course should regain its place of prominence on the Space Coast. My advice: Play this course while you can; once restoration is complete, getting a tee time will be tough.

Weeds weeds and more weeds no fairways at all. AT ALL. Terrible

What a lousy experience. I came in and sat at the bar at 6:55pm. I was completely ignored for 20 minutes. My wife finally started waving at someone around 7:15 and they asked in a rather indifferent manner if I wanted something. My response? Not any more. Another table had to get up and go find a waitress. They call this a country club dining experience? There were neven more than 30 people in the restaurant and might have been 4 at the bar. What a shame. Got to laugh though. An hour after I came in (at 7:51) 3 different people finally asked me if I wanted something.

Friendly locals bar and restaurant. Relaxed atmosphere.

Played twice on this golfcourse. We liked it very much. The hospitality was impressive. The lunch we had i a nice surrounding was worth every penny, great quality
We played with clubs from the club which was including the fee, also a great service. My set was incomplete so the director Mr. Brant Craddock (who was in the shop) give me his clubs to play with, without knowing me!
I have never ever expirienced something like this. Apart from a great course, it felt comfortable and the trust felt great!!!
Thank you La Cita Golf, thank you Mr. Brant Craddock.
Greatings from a couple of Dutchies.

My mom was a chef at The Breakers in Palm Beach for many years, so I know good food and cook good food.

Ordered the Torenados Rossini...which should be a tender filet mignon, topped with foie gras and Madeira wine sauce. Instead I got a 1/2 strip steak, topped with some sort of corn cake, and slathered with a weird tanish sauce devoid of flavor.

Wife's fettuccine with shrimp was flavorless, gelatinous and poor.

Service was ill timed, awkward and lacking in training.

Bread was Winn Dixie brand with you peel butter.

Sorry Lilian Diamon, but you have a LONG way to go in restoring this to an attractive dining destination. In the meantime, we will spend our $$$ on superior restaurants in Orlando.

I must say were very surprised that NONE of the staff wore face protection at the restraunt last night. Not one single person from our server to the manager to the bartender even Chef Larry came out without a mask! It kinda of bothered us. Besides that the food was very good as usual. I don't think we will be back until they were proper protection. It's too bad, we really like the place.

Great cuisine, great venue, great service
New management and staff have really made an appreciable difference.

I love this place. As a new member, I have found the people friendly and the staff very professional. The only criticism I do have is the food. It is ok for the most part but I was expecting it to be better. A simple hot dog should be easy enough to order but the one I was served was more along the lines of a sausage. Not good. And perhaps they could serve a hamburger that isn t 4 inches thick. And Mondays with no food service is a bummer. But I do love the place and I will be there everyday weather permitting.

I was wondering if it s free to the public to come in and enjoy the pool?
