Plenty of parking. Bag drop available upon entering the lot. Getting to pro shop a little awkward…read more When you enter, you're in the club. Head downstairs To find the pro shop. Pro shop staff very kind. 18 holes is reasonably priced. Wasn't a busy Sunday so we could take our time. Flew through the first nine in 1:45. Second nine took a bit longer. People ahead of us had stopped in the bar/cafe for a snack for awhile. No cart girl. Disappointing. Stopped in the bar for snacks and drinks. Greens were a bit fast. Some areas were not draining well and a bit muddy. Enjoyed the elevation changes along the holes. Golf cart has two USB ports for each charging. Nice. And the interactive golf course map in the cart was useful for distances. Lost a few balls in the water. Otherwise had a great day. Weather was perfect. Bathrooms are clean. Water coolers available throughout so bring a container to fill up. They do not allow your own cooler.

The two stars come from staff at the bar, they did a great job. I'll be back next year for the same scramble, but won't be spending my money until then. If the rounds were $20, then it would be worth it...but that should speak to the current state of this course. It's a great layout and hopefully they can get things turned around.

Not sure what type of misleading message the reviewer Chris C is trying to convey about this…read morebeautiful track. Victoria Hills is a challenging course roughly 45 minutes northeast of downtown orlando. Good practice area, nice layout, well manicured, and great bar and grill. Victoria Hills Golf Course is located in Deland, easily accessed by traveling east on I-4 from Orlando. The course is nestled in a nice neighborhood, with the holes running throughout the beautiful homes and into preserve areas. There is a nice driving range and chipping area directly behind the clubhouse. There is a larger pitching area closer to the 1st tee box. The course i takes has 4-5 sets of tees, with each one presenting its own unique challenge. The course is made difficulty by the many well placed bunkers and large greens with much ongilation. Shot placement is essential, several of the holes wind right and left. As Dave O mentioned, the fairways get a little tight in the summertime, but the greens always run nicely and there is plenty of fluff in the rough. Overall, Victoria Hills is a great course to play just outside of Orlando and is well worth the drive. Challenging layout, fast greens, and beautiful scenery provide for a nice time. Highly recommended.

I really wanted to like this course. We live five minutes away and were hoping this could be our…read morelocal go-to spot. The round even started off promising thanks to the starter, who was one of the friendliest and most helpful starters I've met. That ended up being the only highlight. Course conditions were far below what we expected for the price. Fairways were patchy and rough, bunkers looked unmaintained, and the cart paths were in such bad shape that it took away from the experience. The greens actually rolled surprisingly well, but that was the only positive in terms of conditions. The real issue--and what ultimately ruined our day--was a very unsettling encounter with a golf shop employee. On a short downhill par 4, a ball landed within about 10 feet of one of the guys we had been paired with. No warning, no "fore," no sign that anyone was hitting into us. Out of understandable frustration after almost getting hit, he tossed the ball back toward the fairway. A few minutes later, a man in his late 20s or early 30s sped up behind us, said a quick "sorry for almost hitting you," and immediately followed it by scolding us for throwing his ball. He then stated he was an employee, told us he was heading back to the shop, and threatened to end our round on the spot. He made bizarre comments about our playing partner's "ego" and how far he hits the ball, then stormed off to confront the other group--nearly getting into an altercation with them. My wife and I were stunned. It was unprofessional, hostile, and completely unnecessary. We finished the hole while he yelled from the cart path about "getting us kicked off the course." Thankfully nothing came of it, but it absolutely destroyed the round. For a course already struggling with conditions, the last thing I'd expect is an employee actively chasing away customers. We genuinely wish this could be our neighborhood course, but we won't return as long as this kind of behavior is tolerated. Golf should be enjoyable--not stressful or confrontational.

Hidden off the A1A between some condo high rises and back by the Publix, Walgreens and Shores Community Center. Don't let the name fool you. While it is called a golf club, and I guess there are memberships, it is very much a public course that aside from the brief times when they have leagues, you just show up and play. A few notables: - Right now the course is "under construction" which to me looks like they are just trying to grow some fresh grass on their tee boxes. This means right now it's all temp. tees which only make short holes even shorter. - You can check the layout and distances on their site before you play but right now I don't think anything except maybe #8 is over 100 yards and the shortest are in the mid-20's. You could load the ball in your ass and fart it on the green easier then using a club for something that short. - Obviously with a course this small there are no motorized carts. Everything is walking but they do rent pull carts and clubs and they sell balls and if you're so inclined tees. Do you really need a tee to play here? No, you can get by with a wedge and a putter although if you do rent clubs, they give you a bag with a putter, a wedge or two and an 8 and 9. - Was it busy? Not at all. It was a hot as hell Sunday and aside from two older guys who stopped around five to let us play through, we had the place to ourselves. The guy in the clubhouse said in summer they are usually dead and that most of their rounds are from snowbirds who play far more in winter when it's still warm, but not right now when it feels like you're playing on Mercury. - Hours are 7:30 to 6 during DST and until 5 during standard time. Overall the course is a bit beat up with some brown fairways and greens but the pricing is decent and it's always more fun when you mostly have the course to yourself. Next time in town, next year, guaranteed we'll be back. www.oceansgolfclub.com/

The clubhouse was busy and the people there seemed very happy. The employees are always welcoming…read moreand nice. My issue was the course condition. I am not by any means a "golf snob".... But the course has been back open for a few years and there are fairways that are just plain dirt. The green are ok, but are very slow.... I assume to keep them so get don't burn out. In comparison to Palm Harbor that the city took over and re-opened... I had thought the city of Flagler Beach was doing the same with this course but it is in desperate need of a complete grass and irrigation renovation. It is a shame, and I always come back because it would be a really nice 9 hole course (which we do not have any other 9 hole courses around) if they just would make the fairways more playable.
