No, you do not have to join the club to live in most of Citrus Hills. Membership in the Citrus Hills Golf & Country Club depends on the individual home: most homes outside the gated villages carry no membership, while homes in Terra Vista, Belmont Hills and nearly all of Brentwood carry one that is recorded on the deed and passes to each new owner. Never guess from the address; confirm the specific property with the club's Membership Services office before you write an offer.

No, not in most of Citrus Hills. Whether a club membership comes with a home depends on that home's deed, not on living in Citrus Hills in general.
The majority of Citrus Hills homes, especially outside the gated villages, carry no membership in the Citrus Hills Golf & Country Club. In a few villages nearly every home carries one, and the dues are part of the cost of owning there. A buyer who wants the club should shop for a home that has a membership. A buyer who does not want that bill should avoid a home that requires one.
A Citrus Hills home is in one of three situations:
New memberships are created today when the developer's builder, Citrus Hills Construction Company, builds a new home with one. A resale home that does not already have a membership generally cannot add one, so confirm the status before you fall for a house.
Homes in Terra Vista, Belmont Hills, nearly all of Brentwood and part of Canterbury Lake Estates carry a charter membership.
In Brentwood a small number of older homes may not, so check the specific address. In Canterbury Lake Estates it depends on the part of the village.
Outside those villages most homes have none, but do not assume. The club ran an open membership drive around 2010 and 2011, and the memberships sold then were charter memberships recorded on the deed. That left charter homes scattered through the ungated villages. In Greenbriar, across the street from the club, ask about the specific unit.
No. POA dues go to the property owners association for your village; club dues go to the Citrus Hills Golf & Country Club. They are separate bills with separate rules.
Associations are village by village:
The pool and clubhouse in Canterbury Lake Estates and in Forest Ridge Village belong to those associations and are paid for through their dues. Brentwood's pool, fitness room and 9-hole course are club facilities. Verify current figures and recorded documents with the association before you buy.
It means the membership belongs to the house, not to the person. A charter membership is a recorded obligation that transfers automatically at closing, the same way association membership does.
The buyer of a charter home becomes a member and owes the dues for as long as they own it. They cannot decline it. The property owners association's deed restrictions will not tell you this. The master Citrus Hills POA documents, for example, say nothing about club membership. The answer is in the deed and in the club's records.
The official 2026 Villages of Citrus Hills fee sheet (revised December 16, 2025) lists the social membership at $2,091.32 a year for a single and $2,453.84 a year for a family, tax included. The rate is the same in every village.
The club's 2026 Country Club Membership Programs brochure (marked 1.26, for January 2026) lists social dues of $493.00 a quarter single and $578.00 a quarter family before 6% Florida sales tax, with a refundable membership deposit of $2,000.00.
The social membership is the base. The same brochure says golf and tennis memberships each require a social membership and carry their own dues and deposits. Ask the club for the current schedule and whether a deposit applies to your purchase.
Ask whether a membership is attached to this specific home, and get the answer from the club, not from the listing remarks. Then ask:
We can help you get these answers for a specific address. Call the Citrus Hills Home Team at (352) 746-0744.
The official answers come from the club and the associations, not from a real estate website, including this one.

Fees, rules and programs change. Verify current figures with the association, the club or the county before you rely on them.
No, not in most of Citrus Hills. Most homes outside the gated villages carry no membership in the Citrus Hills Golf & Country Club. Homes in Terra Vista, Belmont Hills, nearly all of Brentwood and part of Canterbury Lake Estates carry a charter membership recorded on the deed, and the buyer takes it on at closing.
Generally no. A resale home in Citrus Hills that does not already carry a membership generally cannot add one. The reliable ways to have a membership are to buy a home that already has one or to build a new home with the developer's builder, Citrus Hills Construction Company. Confirm any specific case with the club's Membership Services office.
No. POA dues are paid to the property owners association for the village and cover what that association maintains. Club dues are paid to the Citrus Hills Golf & Country Club. A home in Terra Vista, Brentwood or Belmont Hills has both bills, and each should be quoted on its own line.
A charter membership does: it is recorded on the deed and passes to each new owner of the home. A voluntary membership belongs to the owner personally and is not on the deed, so ask the club whether and how it can pass to a buyer before you write an offer.
The official 2026 Villages of Citrus Hills fee sheet, revised December 16, 2025, lists the social membership at $2,091.32 a year for a single and $2,453.84 a year for a family, tax included. Ask the club for the current schedule before you rely on any figure.
Yes. The club's 2026 Country Club Membership Programs brochure says golf and tennis memberships each require a social membership at the Citrus Hills Golf & Country Club. Golf and tennis carry their own dues and deposits; ask the club for the current schedule.
The club's 2026 Golf Programs brochure says a family membership consists of the member and spouse only. Ask Membership Services how guests and visiting relatives are handled before you count on it.
Ask the Citrus Hills Golf & Country Club's Membership Services office about the specific address, and check the deed. Do not rely on the village name or the listing remarks, because charter memberships exist both inside and outside the gated villages.
