The first Circle of Friends began in 2002 to foster friendships among female members of Citrus Hills. It filled a friendship void until 2010 as home building boomed and people moved into Citrus Hills and Terra Vista. 

Citrus Hills Circle of Friends was reborn in 2022 with the same objective to foster friendships within an ever expanding community. The requirement that every member has an active Citrus Hills membership upholds our commitment to focusing on community.

CHCOF hosts a luncheon on the first Monday of every month at Citrus Hills Country Club. Only a recognized holiday will move that date to the second Monday of the month.

Friendship mingle begins at 11:30AM and offers an opportunity to chat. Lunch is served following new member introductions.

There is never a business agenda. No fund raising activities take place. The only entertainment is the conversation at the table. 

Random seating arrangements at all luncheons offer the opportunity to meet new friends every month. Garden Room seating is limited so call early for your reservation!

The sole purpose of Circle of Friends is to offer you the opportunity to expand your Citrus Hills Circle of Friends while enjoying good food prepared especially for you.
