Par-3 17th one of few water holes Photo submitted by HallandaleHitter on 10/13/2014
Challenging but not overwhelming.
Nice course layout with some tough trap locations and fast greens. Rolling fairways with plenty of up or downhill lies. Cart paths are in very rough shape so drive slowwww and be ready for some extremely long drives between some holes as the course winds its way around the airport.
fast, smooth greens
Course was in decent shape, thin fairway grass in places. However the greens were awesome, somewhere around ten or eleven on the stimp Meter. Lots of movement, a real challenge. We played in 4 hours, other 3 guys expressed the same opinion about the greens. My only negative throughout the whole day.....the bagman upon arrival, was in la,la, land. Pleasant enough, but put bags on the wrong carts, I tipped him 2.00, he didn't even say thanks. However, the rest of the experience was worth the few minutes to move around 8 golf bags into their proper positions on the carts. We will be back.

Par 5 on back double dogleg make sure on second shot to stay left
Course was very good. Challenging but forgiving. Greens were fast by true. ( which I like ) Very good blend of holes. Very windy . Question about walking that would be nearly impossible. Distance between some holes thousands of yards ( kidding ). Could have better signs from one hole to another got lost a couple of times. With that said, I would play it again.
This course has greyest features
This is a wonderful course, very playable for women. We play it weekly for sure. Everyone is friendly and courteous.
Stolen phone
I dropped my phone and the staff ( Justin ) found my phone and turned it in. And when I asked him where he put he said i did find a phone ... But another employee said yeah you did. He than said oh yeah I put on a shelf on a cart return shelf and from there it was taken. Filed a police report but still no phone ... I'm sure the staff stole it.
Great day at the course...
I have played there several times over the last few years, but these were the best conditions as of yet ! The blue tees were almost pushed back to the tips, so it was a good test today. My ONLY complaint is bottles and garbage thrown in woods in sight...which is the golfers fault ! But an occasional tour with a grabber to reach in the bush for garbage may be a good idea ? otherwise, it was great, and the staff was real friendly !!
Great venue
This is a wonderful course and offers a unique Florida golf experience. The course is well laid out, offers undulating terrain and diverse mix of hazards in a natural forest setting. There are five tees available. I recommend this course to golfers with a broad range of abilities.
Nice Experience
First time playing here. Was recommended by a member who I played with. Was not disappointed. the winter grass is coming in nice. The greens were a little slow but it was wet, they should get faster when the new grass fills in. the course has a lot of character, some elevation change and doglegs. Over all a fun course to play.
Interesting layout
course has a nice mixture on holes. nice flow to course. friendly staff
ALWAYS A PLEASURE
ENJOYED THE SETTING AND LAYOUT, WILL BE BACK.
IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO PLAY HERE.
Good for the money
This was my first time playing here. I was grouped with a threesome and we started late. It was a fun course and there were strategically placed bunkers. Some of the fairways were pretty tight which made it fun. The pace of play and skill level of most of the golfers out there was a pretty bad. It took is about 4 1/2 hrs to play 18. I will play again though.
Golf Christmas Eve!!
Great golf course.Beautiful holes. Long for me but then I am still a novice player.
needs improvement
There was a foursome in front of me. I played as a single but they did not have enough etiquette to let me play through. Musy have been because they were all men and I was a woman playing alone. They were holding every play up. One would have thought that they were on tour. Won't go back any time soon.
One on my favorite
Well designed course with a good mix of hole difficulty on course. Tight fairways which demands precision shots. It not all about length, the emphasis is on accuracy Fun course and one our favorites although pace of play is usually slow.
A very nice bend
Thoroughly enjoyed this course and will play again soon. Value for the $$ using Golfnow .com was excellent. Fairways, greens in good condition. Some bunkers needed attention(extra sand). Would recommend.
Great Course Layout
This is one of the best courses we have played in the Daytona Beach area...course was well maintained and in great shape for December...a definite gem...
River Bend Ormond, Fl
The fairways are average for this time of year, December. Some holes have sand trap placement that requires caution. Not an very hard course, but I'm used to playing in the mountain courses in Tennessee.
Very nice course
I found the front nine more difficult than the back nine.It is a fair course for all types of golfers. I played the whites and that was the right tees for me. Will play again.
Great layout winding through the woods...
This course has become one of my favorites. There are challenging holes as well as easy ones. The course winds through the woods and skirts the Tomoka River between the 9th and 10th hole, making the trip through there very scenic. You won't be disappointed with this course.
over 5 hours to play 18
Not my best experience at that course. Played years ago and it was fantastic. Now fairways to thin and greens too slow. Pace was not regulated by rangers. Overall poor experience, will not go back.
