Halifax Plantation
About
This 18 hole championship course opened in 1992 and was designed by Bill Amick. The shady fairways are bordered by huge sprawling oaks and towering pines, nestled in the shadows of Bulow and Tomoka State Parks in Ormond Beach. The course features five elevated tee boxes and fast, contoured, highly manicured greens adequately protected by traps. A unique experience for the golfer who enjoys not only a challenge but also extraordinary scenery.

Fun course
Overall, the course was in really good shape. The only reason I’m not giving it a five is because some of the greens need some work, but everything else was great. I would definitely recommend this course.
Enjoyed Halifax Plantation
Started playing Halifax Plantation during family vacation over 30 years ago. Layout is great and memories are even better. Greens rolled good, but had some bad spots. Still recommend!
Golferitis
As beginners, We had a fun and challenging time navigating the course. We rented clubs and they were decent.
Halifax
Very average/typical north FL course. Friendly staff.
Course is improving
Based on some of the reviews I was not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. The greens overall were in very good shape and rolled fast and smooth. The fairways were in good shape. The tee boxes and rough is where they have some issues; many bare spots or weeds. I think they are working on it and believe it will come back.
Overall a great experience and worth the rate
Halifax Plantation
First time playing this course.
It had a nice layout, plenty of risk/reward shots from the tee box. A few narrow fairways; but also some open ones as well.
It was over 95 degrees. Having free water bottles at the clubhouse was a necessity. There are no water coolers on the course.
Greens were recently sanded. Good value for the price.
Halifax
For the money, the course was in horrible shape. Greens overall were good but fairways were terrible. Also, no Marshall and no three player group willing to let a fast two player group play through.
Will not play again
Avoid!!
Course is in terrible condition. Tee box, Fairways, rough all in nearly unplayable condition. Most greens were nice. I Played here in october and it was very nice but it needs major care. Charging 80$ and no warning of how bad the course looks was criminal. Do not waste your money. Tee to green looked like a cow pasture.
Needs some work
Greens were in good shape however the fairways, tee boxes and roughs are in bad condition and need some attention. When hitting on a clump of tall grass in the fairways is frustrating.
It’s not worth the price they are charging.
Not a great experience
Course layout is pretty good, but conditions leave a lot to be desired. Owners need to invest in improving conditions: this is a refrain from other reviews I’ve seen, and I was hoping for better. Greens were decent, but the rest needs quite a bit of work. There seemed to be a lot of expensive homes around/near course: the course is not helping the aesthetic value of neighborhood.
A tarnished Gem
Staff was welcoming, friendly and helpful. Practice facilities were easily accessible and in good shape. Course layout was challenging, but fair. Greens were in great shape. Not currently as fast as reported, but they rolled true. Lots of undulations and flags on ridges had your attention. Speed is key as misses past the pin often led to lengthy come-backers. Fairways were spotty…some areas need help. Tee boxes are a mess…don’t see them coming back without replacement, but if they get that back to par, this review (and many others I’ve read) would greatly improve. Will keep my eye out for this one.
It beats working
You can tell it was a well planned golfing community on the drive in. I expect most locals play at a private club since this is a public course now… not sure about the history here. The super had people working around golfers and they had top dressed all greens probably first thing in the morning which made putting tricky. Unfortunately the fairways were chewed up and full of weeds. I think they have had a very dry spring so maybe it will recover when they get more rain. Bunkers were a mess and hard packed unfortunately pretty much unplayable. I guess I expect too much from a public course in May so will say the chicken club sandwich at the turn with arnold palmer was great and the staff was super!
What a shame……
This place has really let itself go. The tee boxes were mostly overgrown, the fairways were spotty at best, and the rough was more sand and dirt than grass. The bunkers looked like they haven’t been maintained in a long time.
The greens and the areas around them were easily the best part of the course. They were on the faster side, rolled fairly true, and had a lot of undulation. The problem is that by the time you get there, you already feel defeated because of the condition of the rest of the course.
I honestly felt ripped off paying the $70+ weekend rate. I’ve played municipal courses in much better condition than this. It will likely be many years before I consider coming back, and even then, I’d still be hesitant.
A Struggling Gem
The course conditions are struggling with the drought. The fairways are patchy and the rough is sparse. However, the staff is doing 7 outstanding job. The greens are immaculate and the course is still well worth the price.
Definitely recommend.
