DeBary Golf & Country Club

The course is extremely dry. The fairways are in very bad shape. The greens are good however. Hard and fast.

While I thought Debary Golf & Country Club was a pretty enjoyable course, I had some serious issues with the condition of the grounds. In my opinion, the fairways were way too dry, and there were far too many repairs in progress. On top of that, the greens played very slow, which I found off-putting.

The fairways are a little thin at the moment, but should come back once the rain starts. The greens were pretty good and fast. They are always working on the golf course, which is nice. They are actively trying to work on a better drainage system to prevent flooding, during extreme rain periods. The course is always busy and is a challenging course so it does get backed up once in a while.

A friend and I played yesterday at 9:40am. We were just a twosome and we were behind a foursome and in front of a threesome. The pace was going well, finished the first 8 holes in well under 2 hours. While we were in the fairway on our 9th hole and waiting for the green to clear, the guys behind us decided to hit into us which was very unnerving. We let it go and moved on and by the 12th hole they were right on our tail again even though we couldn’t go anywhere as there was a foursome in front of us. I was afraid they might hit into us again so I told them to just go by and they did. The threesome that was following them got out and asked us what was going on because they were following those other three guys. I told them I let them go by and that group didn’t seem pleased with that. We all ended up waiting on pretty much every hole for the rest of the round. On 18 we had another ball roll up to our cart from the group behind us. When we left, the parking lot was pretty much empty and I only spotted one group on the course on my way out. Golf courses in general need to stop packing as many times as possible onto the tee sheet. 8 minutes between times is ridiculous and you just end up with a log jam of 3 or 4 groups of unhappy people. It made what started out as a great round into a conflict ridden and anxious sprint to the finish. I love the course. I play there often and they do a great job of keeping it maintained and making improvements. I used to be a member there but quit due to there just being too many people on the course at once. I know golf courses need to make money, but space it out better on the slow days when the snow birds are gone and the locals are looking for a nice round.

fairways and tee boxes very thin and course needs water badly.

Always been a fan of the layout. The most recent Hurricanes did some serious damage to the Central Florida area ,so this isn't just a Debary issue. With that said, they are diligently working on repairing all damaged parts of the course. The greens are still the best in the area, and I look forward to playing this course again soon.

The courses irrigation system is under repair and has not put much water on the fairways so they were very thin and bare, but rolled really fast! Lots of very thin lies. Greens were fast as well.

New bunker renovations are coming along.

Still a great course.

The course was very dry. I understand there is an issue with the main water pump. Greens hard and fast.

The place is in good shape, fast , tricky greens.

A foresome in front of us turned into five, which to me is fine, as long as they keep up….that was not the case, which leaves a bad taste. Anyway you would think that the course would monitor this. No evidence of a player assistant, and they were 5 before the turn. The group behind us said yeah sometimes they allow that.

Anyway the entitled 5some did not add to our day.

Pace of play was awful and only one group let me go through? There wasn’t much in the Proshop, cart girl got us one drink I think on 3-4 I think and it was final call? The layout was good, no problem with some of the construction that was ok to work with. The back 9 layout and looks was better in my opinion than the front 9. I will be back but the multiple members and groups backed up on first tee box was crazy I knew right away it was going to be slow. Keep up the work and I’m sure some of this issues will be taken care of!

I had a great time playing the course. A few changes were made on the nine 12th and 17th hole still work in progress. Management is constantly trying to better the golf course bunkers are being work on. Keep working on the fairways and tee boxes need some TLC as well. I look forward to going back and playing again.

Played here many times in the past with conditions not what they should be. Very happy to report the conditions today were greatly improved. So nice to see such a great layout returning to its old glory. The work is continuing and more improvements are being made. Greens are fast, fairways and tee boxes are in good condition. This is without a doubt one of the nicer kept courses in the area. Can’t wait to return!

I gave this course another shot. First time pace of play was horrendous. I swear they book multiple groups at the same time. Happen to me again. Three groups which seemed back to back. I was a single player, group in front of me were beginners but never let me pass. Great course but the pace of play is not it unfortunately.

Love the layout and the continuous improvements being made. Greens were fast!!

Some of the staff was alright, others were not the course police were driving around rushing you along, other players on the course were driving into us make sure you stay within the 13 minutes per hole they give you, don’t stop at the turn and get lunch either you’ll be behind schedule, they act like it’s a course at Disney and it’s no better than glen Abby accross the street for half the money, will not be going back, and would not recomend!

Excellent Layout. Greens were fast . It was nice to see all the improvements to the GC. All the bunkers were redone including new grass around the bunkers. The holes were also framed with a crushed recycled stone product and had pine needles around trees in some holes. The improvements showcased the golf course. Nice to see money being put back into the course. One hole had a damaged green. Could be due to the shading of the green by surrounding trees or winter damage.

Very enjoyable round. The course was in pretty good shape, although they are doing a lot of work.

Love the layout, very fair but really challenging going after the greens. That was a lot of fun!
