LPGA International - Jones Course

We had a great round little rain but not a problem will play again soon the traps were recently sanded this course is in great shape considering the rain lately. I highly recommend this course

The course is fairly wet from all the rain. Soggy in a lot of places and the sand traps mostly have water in them. Overall the course is an average shape. It can use a bit more work. The greens run true and smooth. If you’re paying full price I will be disappointed. I would expect better for your money from LPGA. However given that I got a good discount through GolfNow it was about a breakeven value. The weather was extremely hot today. I would recommend playing early in the morning or late in the afternoon.

I have played the Jones Course at LPGA many times and enjoyed it as one of the best courses in our county. But this time was sorely disappointing because maintenance is obviously slipping. Weeds are growing everywhere. Nature is having its way with the course with untrimmed brush everywhere, tall cattails or rushes growing along all the lakes and obstructing what used to be beautiful views, and brush and vines intruding along the edges of every hole. Bunkers appear to have not been groomed for weeks. Tee pads have large bare areas. There were many large areas of uncut rough, some with grass or weeds more than a foot tall.

What has happened? Has the maintenance budget been severely cut? Has the Superintendent or GM gone missing?

The pace of play was very good most of the round, mainly because there were few people on the course. Perhaps the word is getting around about the course conditions.

Always and still one of the best courses and facilities in Volusia County. That said, you can see that COVID has taken its toll on the course. Likely lots of play, and not the same upkeep and conditions you come to expect from LPGA, esp when paying $69 (I had a $30 hot deal). This was especially true of the bunkers (many fairway ones had weeds in them), and the greens, whilst only being less than 7 or so years old, were crazy slow. Maybe all the rain has something to do with it as well, as many bunkers were literally unplayable, as that’s how full of water they are. Regardless, I am sure that management and the weather (hopefully cooperates), will eventually get this and the Hills (not played this year, so cannot fully comment) course back to the top 2 courses in Volusia, that they still are, but discerning golfers, expect them to be.

Course was wet - from lots of recent rains bud surprisingly decent

Good track. Traps are water hazards. Greens, fairways, and tee boxes are in good shape. If the price to play was cheaper I would give 5 stars.

If the temperature wasn’t 97* and 100* humidity this would have been the best round there ever. Course is in immaculate condition. Greens rolling true and at good speed. I had the course to myself until I reached 18,

Guess I’m the only one unwise enough to take on the heat.

Still a good round, staff very friendly and attentive. Still the best Daytona Beach golf course.

I’ll be back! ( when the temps are in the 80*) ☮️

This course was in the best shape ever. Lush fairways, great greens and good tee off areas. Always liked the layout. Not easy but good shots are rewarded. If it is wasn’t for the heat might have played 9 more

Only issue the course had was that there was a lot of standing water, but that’s normal for every course currently.

Got a hot deal so great value for a well kept course. Not many others out, got caught in a thunderstorm and had to wait it out a few hours but we’re able to finish 18. Cart path only, but understandable as this area is very low lying. Bunkers mostly flooded. Definitely will be back

Beautiful course layout and a lot of fun to play, just not so great conditions due to the all the recent rain. Bunkers full of water and mushy fairways. Still a lot of fun and more than worth the money spent with a deal time plus reward discount. Hope to play again with better course conditions.
